Built in the 1880s by Teochew businessman Tan Yeok Nee, this is the sole survivor of Singapore’s “Four Grand Mansions”. It is a showcase of exquisite Teochew craftsmanship, from ornate wood carvings to vibrant ceramic inlays. A National Monument and enduring heritage landmark at the gateway to Orchard Road, Singapore.
Today, the House of Tan Yeok Nee reopens as a living heritage space, housing a gallery, restaurant, offices, and event venues. Under the stewardship of Karim Family Foundation, we hope to foster an understanding of how the past can remain relevant to the present, and cultivate a sense of pride in our shared national heritage.
Meticulously restored and reimagined as a place where history, culture, and community converge.
The House of Tan Yeok Nee was, and always has been, meant for people. In it, key memories are preserved, and new stories integral to Singapore’s evolving narrative are written. A space that brings people together in a vibrant setting, suitable for momentous celebrations, curated launches and professional meetings. Every event hosted here blends artistry, heritage, and exclusivity.
Please contact us for a customised proposal.
With over 140 years of history, this gallery celebrates the mansion’s architecture, craftsmanship, and artistry. From a private family residence to a refuge and a school, experience the programmatic evolution of the House by journeying digitally through its layered past.
Now open to the public for the first time, the gallery invites visitors to explore its architectural details and the conservation efforts that preserves this cultural treasure for future generations.
