SG's Last Teochew Mansion Reopens as Public Dining & Culture Destination

11Photo by DP Architects

In a city that’s constantly reinventing itself, it’s rare to find a place that honors its past while embracing the future. But tucked between the gleaming towers of Dhoby Ghaut, one such treasure has quietly reopened its doors. The House of Tan Yeok Nee, Singapore’s last standing traditional Teochew mansion, has been reborn as a heritagelifestyle hub, and it’s nothing short of spectacular.

Originally built in 1885 by Teochew merchant Tan Yeok Nee, the mansion is a gazetted national monument and one of the few surviving examples of Southern Chinese architecture in Singapore. After years of limited public access, the house has undergone a sensitive restoration and now welcomes visitors into a space that blends cultural reverence with contemporary elegance.

The reopening marks a new chapter for the mansion, which now houses curated lifestyle experiences, wellness programs, and fine dining. At the heart of this transformation is Loca Niru, a modern Japanese-French restaurant helmed by Chef Shusuke Kubota that’s opening its doors this November 2025.

The restaurant’s philosophy, rooted in Zen idioms and the Japanese concept of kotan (quiet simplicity), echoes the mansion’s own spirit of harmony and restraint. Guests dine beneath preserved wooden trusses, surrounded by Teochew carvings and Japanese craftsmanship, in a space that feels both timeless and transcendent.

The House of Tan Yeok Nee is now a cultural hub with a heritage gallery hosting exhibitions

Beyond gastronomy, the House of Tan Yeok Nee is positioning itself as a cultural anchor. Its Instagram presence hints at upcoming art exhibitions, wellness events, and private gatherings designed to celebrate heritage and holistic living. The mansion’s architecture, marked by sweeping rooflines, intricate woodwork, and a central courtyard, serves as both backdrop and inspiration for these experiences.

This revival is about preservation and participation. By opening its doors to the public, the House of Tan Yeok Nee invites Singaporeans and global visitors alike to engage with history in a living, breathing way. It’s a rare opportunity to walk through a space where every beam and brick tells a story, and where the future is being written with reverence.

For more information, follow the House of Tan Yeok Nee on Instagram and Facebook. Meanwhile, booking for Loca Niru is now open via Tablecheck, and you may follow them on Instagram and Facebook for updates.

IKEA Singapore just launched a new range of bathroom products that aim to increase your water awareness, track your showers, and reduce overall water use.

The new BERGVATTNET collection makes it easier to build water-saving habits into your daily routine. According to the 2024 IKEA Life at Home Report, only 22% of Singaporeans feel their homes help them live sustainably.

Some of the product highlights include the BERGVATTNET single spray hand shower with hose (S$14.90), which helps save water while still delivering a powerful spray, and the BERGVATTNET wash-basin mixer tap (S$39.90) that saves hot water with its cold start function

The BERGVATTNET auto diverter for shower (S$39.90) also proves to be a useful tool in collecting cold water that would otherwise go to waste once attached to your shower mixer, while the digital BERGVATTNET water meter for shower (S$59.90) helps you track liters, temperature, and time, transforming shower heads to be more water efficient while still being able to increase the flow with just a push of a button!

The green-tinted BERGVATTNET glass (S$11.90/4 pcs) is made of 100% recycled glass and has a low, wide shape that makes it easy to grasp. It’s best paired with the BERGVATTNET carafe (S$14.90), which has a beautiful ripple design.

Potato Head Launches Homeware Range Made From Purposeful Waste

WASTEDPhoto by Desa Potato Head/Website

Desa Potato Head, Bali’s beloved creative resort, just launched a homeware range made and reimagined from various forms of discard, ultimately reshaping our relationship with waste through inventive designs.

In collaboration with British designer Max Lamb, the Collection 001 of WASTED by Potato Head reimagines waste into purposeful objects. It comprises eight distinct material families, each derived from a specific local waste stream, including recycled HDPE plastics, natural dyes made from composted organic matter, retired hotel linens, broken glass repurposed through mouth-blown techniques, used cooking oil transformed into refillable candles, salvaged ceramics given new form, composite waste materials such as Styrofoam and oyster shells, and sustainably harvested, hand-woven Balinese bamboo.

Collection 001 remains rooted in Potato Head’s philosophy of “Good Times, Do Good” and reflects a lifestyle grounded in the nourishment of nature and the progression of culture. Built on years of in-house research and development, the collection represents a circular design system that redefines how materials are sourced, made, and valued.

The craftsmen made use of a variety of methods, such as natural dyeing with marigold and indigo, ceramic glazing, plastic casting, traditional weaving, and glassblowing, in order to reveal the raw integrity of each material. From marbled plastic chairs and refillable candles to hand-shaped ceramics and bamboo lounge seating, these objects are more than just a homeware range but a manifesto for conscious living, proving that design can be both beautiful and regenerative.

“Designers have a responsibility to justify every product we bring into the world,” said Max Lamb. “With WASTED, we’re not just rethinking materials, we’re celebrating the human hands and knowledge that shape them.”

PropertyGuru Honors Property Agents with Special-Edition Jacket

Property GuruPhoto by Courtesy of PropertyGuru Singapore

Singapore’s leading property marketplace just unveiled a stylish new statement piece in celebration of SG60.

PropertyGuru has launched a limited-edition reversible jacket in collaboration with iconic Singaporean streetwear designer Mark Ong, also known as Mr. Sabotage.

The jacket draws on the aesthetic of the classic souvenir jacket and is meant to shine a spotlight on the local property agents who are quietly shaping the way people find comfort, belonging, and a sense of home.

The jacket is inspired by SG60’s national theme, “Building Our Singapore Together,” reflecting the duality of property agents who balance the demands of their profession with a deep commitment to the local community.

“This collaboration reflects how PropertyGuru sees Singapore, built not just on physical foundations but on stories,” said Sivaram Parameswaran, Marketing Director, PropertyGuru Singapore.

“While this jacket was inspired by property agents, it speaks to something many Singaporeans understand. There is a constant duality, balancing who we are with what we do, contributing to something larger while staying true to ourselves. This piece honors that spirit and reflects the Singapore that PropertyGuru is proud to call home.”

The limited-edition piece embodies reversible design with bold embroidery and layered storytelling, mirroring modern Singapore and the everyday journeys of Singaporeans. On one side, a tailored gray pinstripe evokes professionalism, discipline, and the nation’s quiet dedication, while on the flip side, the bold red color celebrates individuality and culture.

Also embroidered on its back is a heartland community cat stepping out from the windows of a Peranakan shophouse, symbolizing shared spaces, warmth, and heritage. Beneath its paws is an embroidered outline of Singapore, while the phrase “Orchid City” also sits alongside a bloom of the Vanda Miss Joaquim, a flower that blooms year-round, capturing the strength and multicultural spirit of the nation. In classic Sabotage style, the thread’s tension set is slightly loose, creating subtle imperfections that add depth and character to the piece.

Together, both sides form a layered portrait of modern Singapore, reflecting the professional and personal sides.

Creating this piece was personal,” said Mark Ong. “PropertyGuru and I both started here in Singapore. Collaborating on something that honours the people who help shape this country, especially those who do it quietly, like property agents, felt meaningful. This jacket is for the agents who inspired it, and for every Singaporean who puts heart into building something greater than themselves.”

There are only 150 jackets produced, with most already set aside to honor standout property agents on the platform. Follow PropertyGuru on Instagram to discover how to get your hands on one of the 10 pieces they’re releasing to the public!

There's no denying that the year 2024 has been a monumental era for live concerts and events — from K-Pop groups taking the stage for their tours to Taylor Swift’s historic “Eras Tour.” Riding this tidal wave of concerts, Live Nation Entertainment, one of the world’s leading live entertainment companies, has announced the launch of its first live music venue in Southeast Asia.

In a press release, the company unveiled that the venue will be built along Grange Road in Singapore, in partnership with Lendlease Global Commercial REIT and supported by the Singapore Tourism Board.

The venue will house a state-of-the-art music hall with a total capacity of 3,000 and will feature various rooms and stages dedicated to local and international touring artists. There will also be a café and bar, which can also accommodate smaller events.

Aside from concerts, the new establishment is also expected to host a variety of business and cultural activities, including meetings, conferences, exhibitions, and community events, among others.

As of this writing, there is no information yet on the venue’s exact opening date.

“Live Nation is pleased to expand the live music market in Singapore with the new venue,” said Greg Gillin, Senior Vice President of Venue Development at Live Nation Asia, in the press statement.

Stay updated on the opening of Live Nation’s newest entertainment venue by visiting their website or following them on Facebook or Instagram.
