Peranakan Houses


Peranakan Houses
Colourful with intricate mouldings and tiles adorning its facade.
A rare sight today.
A lovely intricately craved door greets at the entrance of this Peranakan home.

Notice the two different window grills used in this row of houses.

Each with its own identity of fixtures and colours .

Sometimes sharing the same beautiful decorative tiles.
Seen in this picture.
Making the building attractive and unique.
The individual choice of colours makes
a cheery delightful sight.
These houses which look deceptively small on the outside,
are mostly long and spacious with courtyards and air wells on the inside.
Making the Peranakan houses so cosy.
A comfortable home to be in.



Shops and Restaurants.

These newer houses that are simpler.

These newer homes still hold the charm with its
fine decorative lattice and mouldings on its facade
A soothing sight of a common corridor.
These buildings that have been renovated.
Have taken on a similar Peranakan look.
