Conservation Principles
Understanding the Bungalow
Key Elements of the Bungalow
The conservation guidelines for bungalows are directly related to the typology of the building.

Large bungalows, the majority of which were built prior to World War II, are a significant part of Singapore’s heritage. Bungalows are independent dwelling units which are usually one- or two-storeys high. They were first introduced into Singapore and Malaya by the British in the 1830s. They tend to be located in serene and wooded environments away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Quality restoration of a bungalow requires an appreciation and understanding of the architecture of the building.

Bungalows in Singapore normally consist of the main building which houses the main living and dining areas and the bedrooms. An outhouse is normally part of the original design. It is linked back to the main building and houses the kitchen, toilets and servants’ quarters.

In conserving a bungalow, the key elements to be respected are as follows:
(a) Roofs
(b) Structural Members
(c) The Facades of the Building
(d) Doors and Windows
(e) Significant Interior Features Including Staircases, Decorative Mouldings, Double Volume Spaces, etc

The design and material of the bungalows vary according to the architectural style of the building. Singapore bungalows fall into five styles. They are the Early Bungalow, the Victorian Bungalow, the Black and white Bungalow, the Art Deco Bungalow and the Modern Bungalow.

CONSERVATION AREAS AND GUIDELINES
The majority of conservation areas in Singapore fall into four distinct categories, and the conservation guidelines vary for each of these categories.

See Key Conservation Area Map.

Historic Districts
The Historic Districts, which include Boat Quay, Chinatown, Kampong Glam and Little India, are among the city’s oldest areas. Most of the buildings in these areas are still intact, and the entire building has to be retained and restored.

Residential Historic Districts
The Residential Historic Districts at Blair Plain, Cairnhill and Emerald Hill are residential areas which developed close to the city centre. A new rear extension lower than the main roof can be built for greater flexibility in adapting the building for modern living.

Secondary Settlements
The Secondary Settlements such as Geylang and Joo Chiat are areas which developed later when people started to move out of the crowded city to live at the fringe. These are typically areas where there are already many new developments so emphasis is placed on retention of the streetscape. In these areas, a new rear extension up to the maximum height allowed for the area can be built.

FACILITATING RESTORATION EFFORTS
The Government provides various forms of assistance to encourage private owners to restore their buildings. They include:
waiver of development charge and car park deficiency charge, where applicable; and
waiver of the need to provide car park lots where applicable.
Technical guidelines and standards are also drawn up to guide owners and professionals in restoring their buildings. Publications on conservation are produced to assist private owners to better understand the conservation principles and guidelines.

Conservation Principles

Adaptive Reuse of Shophouses
Traditionally, shophouses are designed to provide for business premises on the ground floor and residential accommodation on the upper storeys; terrace houses and bungalows are designed purely for residential use. Structurally speaking, the original use is always the best use for a conserved building.

However, old buildings may often have to be restored and upgraded to meet modern living needs or to accommodate new uses. In restoring and adapting a conserved building to new uses, it is important to adhere to the conservation principle in order to retain the intrinsic character and historical value of the building. Alterations or strengthening of the building structure is to be done in the most sympathetic and unobtrusive way, using the original methods and materials wherever possible.

The restoration and adaptation of conserved buildings to new uses require an understanding of the behaviour of traditional buildings, traditional building construction methods, and how the buildings hold themselves together by the intricate interaction of the various elements.

Conservation Principles
Singapore’s architectural history is the story of skilled craftsmen and architects who have invested in quality places for work and play. Old and new skills, past knowledge and current technologies all combine to bring the past back to productive life.

Quality restoration is more than just preserving a facade or the external shell of a building. It retains the inherent spirit and original ambience of historic buildings. It requires an appreciation and understanding of the architecture and structure of historic buildings, good practice and management.
