Project details
The conservation of 2 & 4 Sam Leong Road involved the restoration of two pre-war shophouses, addressing structural and aesthetic challenges caused by MRT tunneling-related ground settlement. This project preserved the buildings’ heritage character while ensuring their structural integrity and safety.
Scope of Work
Foundation & Structural Works
- As the church building was originally constructed in 1930, asbestos ceiling materials were identified and safely removed by a specialist removal contractor.
- Execution of new bored piling works to provide structural support for the higher rear extension block.
- Implementation of comprehensive structural upgrades to convert the pre-war single-storey building into a modern six-storey structure.
Conservation & Exterior Enhancements
- Restoration of all existing timber façade windows and doors in accordance with the original architectural design, including pilaster mouldings, concrete corbels, and decorative cornices.
- Refurbishment of the front façade and interlocking tiled roof to maintain the building’s historic character and design integrity.
- Through voluntary conservation of the front building façade, the church retained its existing front land without the need for additional road reserve setback.
Interior Finishing
- Installation of high-quality floor and wall tiling to create functional, durable, and visually appealing interior environments.
Interior Modifications
- Introduction of iconic gallery seating within the main worship hall to enhance seating capacity and improve community engagement.
- Application of acoustic ceiling systems and wall linings to optimize sound quality and overall worship hall experience.
