Peranakan shophouse living in Singapore’s East — furnished private rooms with WiFi, utilities and weekly cleaning included, steps from Katong’s food and coast.
Coliving in Joo Chiat, Singapore offers something the city centre cannot: pastel Peranakan shophouses, a strong neighbourhood identity and the sea breeze of the East Coast a short ride away. Figment runs four boutique homes in this Katong heritage enclave — House Rong, Obor-Obor, Still House and Teak House — each a conserved shophouse turned into a warm, design-led shared home.
House Rong, Obor-Obor, Still House and Teak House are conserved shophouses furnished throughout, with communal kitchens, living rooms and courtyards that make it easy to meet your housemates. Every private room is fully furnished, and the monthly rate is all-inclusive: high-speed WiFi, utilities and weekly housekeeping of the shared areas are built in, so there is nothing extra to arrange after you move in.
The community here leans creative and international — remote workers, designers, teachers and East-side locals who want character and calm without sacrificing connection. You keep the privacy of your own room while sharing generous common spaces and regular house get-togethers. All stays use URA-approved terms with a three-month minimum lease and one month’s notice, so you get real flexibility compared with a year-long tenancy, and there is no agent fee.
Rooms in Joo Chiat start from S$2,250. Explore every Figment shophouse home or learn how coliving in Singapore works with Figment, then book a viewing to find your room in Joo Chiat.
