Only around 850 of Singapore’s conserved shophouses are residential — roughly 0.001% of residents will ever live in one. Shophouses offer high ceilings, internal air wells, ornate facades, and a direct connection to the neighbourhood’s street life that condo towers can’t replicate.

Emerald Hill (off Orchard Road), River Valley, Tanjong Pagar, Chinatown, Joo Chiat and Tanjong Katong, Geylang’s Lorong 24A Shophouse Series, Jalan Besar, Little India, Balestier, and Bukit Timah.

Over 4,000 working professionals have lived with Figment, from companies including Grab, Citi, and BCG — a mix of expats, returning Singaporeans, and internationally mobile professionals.

Yes. 15% of rental profits fund artist commissions and creator residencies, every house is designed by a different local architect or design studio, and 98% of operating expenses go to small local businesses.

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.

Because the term 'Boutique Home' speaks to what we want our shophouses to represent. Boutique Homes are design-led, unique, exquisitely crafted, hyperlocal, experiential, and ultimately, unforgettable. Imagine getting the curated experience you might get living out of a boutique hotel, in the comfort of home.

At Figment, members get their very own private studio within a Boutique Home and enjoy fully furnished shared common areas such as the kitchen, laundry facilities, dining and living room.

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.

Becoming a Figment member means joining a cosmopolitan community of 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.

We hope you’ll get to know your fellow housemates as soon as you move in. We have also curated the Figment Club House as a members-only 'homespace' for you to plug right into our Figment community. After that, expect a standing invite to Figment events, like private dining experiences with local guest chefs, or book-binding classes hosted by independent creatives. Through these events, we hope you’ll get to know more like-minded Figment members from other homes.

Studios start from S$1,800/month all-inclusive and range up to about S$4,500/month depending on the house, studio size, and location. The rate covers rent, utilities, WiFi, weekly housekeeping of common areas, and Figment Club House membership. There are no agent fees.

Serviced apartments are typically units in commercial towers. Figment offers private designer studios inside conserved heritage shophouses — each designed by a different local architect — at rates usually below serviced apartments in the same central districts, with the same all-inclusive convenience.

Most coliving operators offer rooms in high-density buildings or scattered condo units. Figment members get a designer studio in a spacious conserved heritage shophouse shared by a small number of residents. See our comparison pages for side-by-side details.
