About the House

Vignette House is a three-storey townhouse and one of the largest in Figment’s portfolio. The house was likely built in the 1890s, with ornamentation added in the following decades as it changed hands. It was later gazetted as a conservation building by URA in 1991. Located next to the esteemed NUS Baba House, the house sits within Singapore’s historic conservation district of Blair Plain – the larger low-lying area stretching from Kampong Bahru Road to the sea.

The exterior of the house is painted a unique burnt orange, with its quintessential jalousie windows and geometric decorative features highlighted in white. Above the first floor windows are a pair of plaques stylized to look like a Chinese scroll, and an ornamental canopy roof made from green Chinese glazed tiles. Georgian fanlights adorn the three windows on the uppermost floor. Most uniquely, the back of the house also features a narrow but functioning spiral staircase connecting all three floors. The staircase was historically designed for night soil labourers picking up buckets from the different floors in the days before public sanitation infrastructure.

The concept of Vignette House is premised on Figment’s desire to pay homage to the owner of the home, Hugh Tan’s contributions to Singapore’s theatre scene. In thinking about theatre in relation to art, the house homes in on the theatricality of materials, in particular the various meanings that materials come to take on as people (both individuals and communities) interact with them. The two featured artists, Fajrina Razak and Nandita Mukand, exemplify this theme in different ways. Their works augment the house with meaningful stories and splashes of colour.

About the Neighbourhood

Open in Google Maps

Not too far from the sea and not too far from town, the historical residential district of Blair Plain is for those who prefer a quieter street with exciting places to visit nearby.

An independent coffee roaster, a restored Peranakan home turned museum, and even a classic barber tucked in an attic of a shophouse – the area is thriving, lively, and laidback at the same time.

For those interested in architecture, don’t forget to explore the different styles in the district, from ornamental facades of the ‘Late Style’ to more pared down Art Deco shophouses.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do you mean by shophouse living?

Shophouse living means living within conservation shophouses – quintessentially Singaporean works of art. These storied shophouses boast high ceilings, patterned jalousie windows, unique façades and layouts, and each one with its own unique history that will make your everyday living experience that much more memorable.

As historical urban dwellings, shophouses are located in vibrant heritage districts that allow you to experience that street level ambience and belong to the neighbourhood. When you live at Figment, you are living in a boutique home – not a cookie-cutter, copied-and-pasted condo compound.

Wait a minute, isn't that just coliving?

Not so much – this is Figment’s vision of shared housing for grown-ups – that’s mature working professionals. We aren’t here to slice and dice apartments into matchboxes just to stuff as many ‘tenants’ as possible into a building, adult-dorm style. With Figment you always have room to breathe.

You can socialize as much as you want to, but you also reserve the option to retreat to the quiet comfort of your private studio within a spacious 3000ft² shophouse.

How many people are allowed to move into one studio?

We have a maximum occupancy of 2 pax per studio.

What is included in the rental rate?

You get a fully-furnished studio that’s move-in ready. WiFi, utilities, and weekly cleaning of the common areas are all included. To get you started, we’ll provide one complimentary set of bedding and towels, plus some basic household essentials. Of course, your rent includes the use of shared laundry and kitchen facilities, along with common areas for living and dining. You will also enjoy complimentary access to our members-only ‘living-room-away-from-home’, Figment Club House.

Are there any house rules?

We have a common set of house rules (such as quiet hours) across our homes, which all members are expected to agree and adhere to before their stay.

What are your payment methods?

We accept payment by local / overseas bank transfer, PayNow or credit card (processed by Stripe; note that 4% fees apply)

Do you require a security deposit?

Yes, we require a security deposit of 1.5 month’s rent before the commencement of your stay to secure your booking. This security deposit will be refunded within 30 days from the end of your stay.
