Dock House takes its name from the Tanjong Pagar dock era, when the Straits brought together people from across the world who came to build something.
It is not a museum of that time, but a house built in its spirit: purposeful, outward-facing and well-provisioned.
Eight rooms and studios sit across the floors of a shophouse at 10 Blair Road, sharing a living room, dining room, kitchen, skylit lounge and roof terrace. The original structure stays in view — timber ceiling joists, heritage shutters, brass ironmongery and a skylit stairwell — while the interiors are designed around archival navigational maps, teak furniture and Straits-blue feature walls in the shared spaces. Rooms take their names from ships and the Straits — Ark, Stern, Helm, Nakhoda, Layar, Carta — and from the light through the shutters, Kwong and Sinar.
Tanjong Pagar was once the working edge of Singapore’s port, where ships were unloaded, goods weighed, and people from across the Straits made their fortunes and their lives. Blair Road takes its name from John Blair, a senior officer of the Tanjong Pagar Dock Company who owned land here, and today sits within the Blair Plain Conservation Area, which preserves rows of early-20th-century shophouses.
Duxton Hill and Keong Saik Road, where evenings unfold, are a short walk away, with Maxwell Food Centre for hawker meals and Chinatown nearby. Outram Park MRT and Tanjong Pagar MRT put the rest of the city within easy reach, and the streets feel quieter than the business district nearby.

Becoming a Figment member means joining a cosmopolitan community of mature working professionals, with diverse backgrounds in tech, finance, design, and other creative industries. Our members do anything from running their own consulting podcast to selling vegan ice-cream.
Although most of our members are in their thirties, we also host many members in their forties, fifties and sixties! Rather than our biological age, what really matters are our shared values of cultural awareness, diversity and authenticity.
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.
