The House of Tan Yeok Nee is of outstanding importance as the only remaining traditional Chinese mansion architecture in Singapore. It uniquely blends traditional Teochew mansion architecture with British influences, with major modifications made to the front part of the West wing and rear hall by later occupants. Ever since its major restoration by Winpeak in 1999/2000, it has been closed to the public as a private school. Through extensive change of use into a café, an omakase restaurant, a heritage gallery and a family office, this historic house will finally be open to the public.
