Inside A Chef's Charming 93-Year Old Heritage Home Transformation

This week, we visit a special shophouse in Joo Chiat that was completely rebuilt by homeowners Natalie and Al. It’s a 3-storey shophouse that sits on 3,490 square feet of land, and a spacious 3,000 square feet of built up space. The first floor consists of the living, dining, and kitchen area, while the second floor features the study, helper’s room and guest room. On the third floor is the master bedroom, dry kitchen, and a lovely balcony space.
Natalie and Al wanted to preserve the heritage of the area, and have intricately woven in details that reflect that Peranakan inspiration. From the Peranakan privacy screen at the entrance of the home, to the laser cut details in the panels of the kitchen cabinets, it’s all a part of the charm of the home. It’s a perfect set up for their private dining experience (that offers home cooked Mediterranean food) too - as the tour of the home before dining commences is a great way to break the ice.
As the kitchen is the heart of the home, the open kitchen is a useful way for Al to cook and interact with guests at the same time. Guests will also be treated to the tranquil view of the garden at the courtyard. While the sunlight there isn’t the most ideal, the grow lights that they’ve specially installed helps to create their exotic garden.
For the guest bedroom, they’ve also found a unique wallpaper as well as a matching bedspread. Next door is the study, where there’s a special bookcase that was designed for the study with different coloured backs.
As for the master bedroom, it’s set on a platform but the best part is the kitchen that they’ve built on the outside to allow them to rustle up drinks or a meal without having to go all the way downstairs. Finally, the balcony on the outside is a lovely space to chill and just enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
Special thanks to Natalie and Al for showing us around. For more on their space, you can visit: / med59jct

Absolutely beautiful home. There are so many lovely features.. the laser cut kitchen doors, the colored glasses, the Fantastic garden.They have used colours so beautifully. It's not loud but at the same time not very understated. Loved it ❤️

[@serpentsforhair]

In a sea of Japandi interiors - finally, an aesthetic after my own heart. This is house has character, I like it.

[@Jessica-kk1cz]

Amen to that! I’m so tired of empty rooms with shades of gray, plus a little wood. This space here has real design.

[@StackedHomes]

We're glad you love it! Thanks for watching 🥰

[@StackedHomes]

Thank you, Jessica!

[@AJ-rc5lr]

Onlewo wallpaper and fabric in the guest room. Lovely to see westerners embracing southeast Asian and Asian influences !! Something that unfortunately young locals don’t seem to veer towards.

[@tmc1373]

This home is exquisite!! It's easily one of the absolute best homes featured on this channel!

[@MsGnor]

Natalie and Al. this is beautiful! Thanks for sharing with me, your snoopy virtual viewer! Love serenity, pops of colour, historic & personal art, form & function harmony, repeat-patterns, lush planting, sociable (or solo!) areas. Impressive and understated. I would wallow in that gorgeous bathtub, sipping bubbly!!! Lots of love & blessings to you both & adorable Kitty! 🥰🧡💛💚💙❤💖

[@StackedHomes]

I love all the colourful elements the couple has introduced particularly in the kitchen, but can't help but notice that the tiles on the back of the lunch counter are upside down.

[@pingpi6812]

[@StackedHomes]

🙌

[@davidd5226]

I'm guessing they must have PR status to buy a landed home??

[@auburnnation7214]

Beautiful home, but that can't possibly be 3,490 square feet of land.. looks closer to 1100 - 1500 sqft..

[@alejojuanmontesinos8703]

precioso

[@StackedHomes]

🥰

[@MmeuMar]

I don't know.... it's nice but it's sad that old grand wood staircase is gone.

[@StackedHomes]

I hear you. Sometimes it's tough to see those charming old features replaced. 😊

[@JS-ev4xc]

Some oriental elements, definitely not Peranaken style, and i keep wondering is it even necessary to incorporate them. Does not excite, at most pleasant i think.

[@TheAcizgirl]

I didn’t like this particular stacked homes video. It is the first time I felt it was more of a advertisement for their business then a home tour. Not for me

[@tiffanycurtis4794]

I love this especially the kitchen takes me back to my 70s generation yes 🧡🤎💛

[@StackedHomes]

Thanks for watching, Tiffany! 🤩
