Characterful loft apartments in Singapore's restored shophouses — fully furnished, all-inclusive, flexible monthly leases from S$1,800.
Find My Boutique HomeLoft apartments in Singapore have become one of the most sought-after rental formats for professionals and creatives arriving in the city. The typical loft offers height, space, and character that a standard condo unit cannot match — and nowhere delivers this more authentically than in Singapore's gazetted conservation shophouses. Figment's loft-style apartments sit inside restored shophouses dating from the 1920s to 1940s, many with three-metre ceilings, exposed timber beams, original mosaic tile floors, and double-volume living areas created by the shophouse's deep floor plan. These are not purpose-built loft conversions — they are the genuine article: pre-war buildings repurposed into private, all-inclusive homes for working professionals. Where are Figment's loft apartments? Figment operates loft-style heritage rooms across several of Singapore's most desirable neighbourhoods. Emerald Hill and Orchard: Houses including Library, Canopy, Palladium, Ambon, Banda, and Cuppage sit on or near Emerald Hill Road and Cuppage Terrace, a five-minute walk from Somerset and Orchard MRT stations (Thomson-East Coast and North-South Lines). Rooms from S$2,000/month all-inclusive. River Valley and Robertson Quay: Straits House, Aviary, Botany, House Jogoh, and Alawi are located in the River Valley enclave between Fort Canning MRT (Thomson-East Coast Line) and Robertson Quay. From S$2,500/month all-inclusive. Tanjong Pagar: Vignette House on Neil Road and Canvas House on Blair Road offer loft-height rooms with high ceilings within walking distance of Tanjong Pagar MRT (East-West Line). From S$2,700/month all-inclusive. What is included in a Figment loft apartment? Every Figment room is fully furnished and all-inclusive — there are no surprise utility bills or separate WiFi contracts. Your lease covers a private, self-contained room with en-suite or shared bathroom, high-speed WiFi and all utilities including electricity and water, weekly housekeeping of shared common areas, and access to the house's common living and dining spaces. Leases run for a minimum of three months with one month's notice, on a URA-approved short-term lease structure. There is no agent fee. Who is a Figment loft apartment suited for? Figment's loft apartments are best suited to professionals and creatives relocating to Singapore for work, secondments, or extended projects who want a furnished, immediately liveable home in a well-connected neighbourhood — without signing an 18-month lease or paying an agent. From S$2,000/month all-inclusive across Emerald Hill, River Valley, and Tanjong Pagar, Figment's loft-style heritage homes offer the architectural character and central location that define the best of Singapore's rental market.

A loft apartment usually refers to a spacious and adaptable open area, often converted into residential usage (also known as a converted loft) from some other use, often industrial use such as factories or warehouses.
Loft apartments are the perfect rental option for singles, whilst Figment’s furnished apartments are large enough to accommodate couples and co-sharing friends.
Most loft apartments do not come with condo facilities, although some may offer basic features such as a barbecue area and pool. We'd argue that most of the amenities that come with Figment's lofts extend into the neighbourhood with liveable surrounds and great coffeeshops and bars just a short walk away.
You can find loft apartments in various conservation buildings around Singapore, including apartment blocks and shophouses. These buildings are usually located in prime liveable areas such as Joo Chiat and Tiong Bahru. These locations tend to be amenity-rich and convenient to access.
According to the Council for Estate Agencies, to rent property in Singapore, you need to be a Singapore citizen or permanent resident. Non-citizens may rent if they hold an employment or work permit like an S-pass, a student pass, dependent pass or long term social visit pass. That said, even with foreigners holding legal residence, the problem is that most Singapore landlords may not be too pleased with a month-to-month lease agreement and would typically require at least a 1 or 2 year contract. Figment provides a much-needed. flexible alternative for loft apartment rentals with flexible lease terms and a 1-month notice period.
