The home’s design and the names of its studios are a nod to the area’s history as a Peranakan enclave, highlighting key motifs in Peranakan culture and the everyday artful objects that would have featured in these homes.
The Chinese couplets on the window shutters immediately outside the home also suggest the hopes for all who inhabit it – a home for like-minded people to grow together; a connection between current and future generations; and abundant prosperity.
Cuppage House is named after William Cuppage, Singapore’s Postmaster General and Superintendent of Police. Cuppage leased Emerald Hill and moved there to start a nutmeg plantation in the mid-19th century. This eventually failed due to disease. After his death, the property passed to his children and it has since changed hands a few times.
Emerald Hill is a tranquil residential oasis just off of downtown and Orchard Road. 313 Somerset, Lady M Cake Shop, and library@orchard are just some of the perks of living on this historic street.
Previously a nutmeg plantation, the area became a residential neighbourhood from the 1900s onwards. By the 1930s, much of the street was occupied by Straits Chinese families, descendants of early Chinese immigrants who married locals and settled in Southeast Asia. The district was gazetted as a conservation area in 1989, allowing us to continue enjoying our beautiful architectural heritage.
Shophouse living means living within conservation shophouses – quintessentially Singaporean works of art. These storied shophouses boast high ceilings, patterned jalousie windows, unique façades and layouts, and each one with its own unique history that will make your everyday living experience that much more memorable.
As historical urban dwellings, shophouses are located in vibrant heritage districts that allow you to experience that street level ambience and belong to the neighbourhood. When you live at Figment, you are living in a boutique home – not a cookie-cutter, copied-and-pasted condo compound.
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.
We have a maximum occupancy of 2 pax per studio.
You get a fully-furnished studio that’s move-in ready. WiFi, utilities, and weekly cleaning of the common areas are all included. To get you started, we’ll provide one complimentary set of bedding and towels, plus some basic household essentials. Of course, your rent includes the use of shared laundry and kitchen facilities, along with common areas for living and dining. You will also enjoy complimentary access to our members-only ‘living-room-away-from-home’, Figment Club House.
We have a common set of house rules (such as quiet hours) across our homes, which all members are expected to agree and adhere to before their stay.
We accept payment by local / overseas bank transfer, PayNow or credit card (processed by Stripe; note that 4% fees apply)
Yes, we require a security deposit of 1.5 month’s rent before the commencement of your stay to secure your booking. This security deposit will be refunded within 30 days from the end of your stay.
