How do the developer integrate old building like Jui Res?

[golden_eagle]

I am curious how they would do that? Are there any examples one can take a look? 

Will that affect any enbloc in any way? 

 

The new development sits on the site of the former National Aerated Water Company bottling factory, and will incorporate the main building of the historical factory into the façade of the new development. Jui Residences faces a wide frontage of the Kallang River, which is being rejuvenated.

This is not new here. Spring Grove along Grange Road kept the former colonial house as their club house.

 

Conservation buildings being part of nsw develpments are common. The big struggle is, while they kept the external, most internal have changed and surrounding structures don't blend in well. So frankly, not much meaning. I am not referring to SAM, Chime, and some better conservation sites.

Just isolate the heritage building as the clubhouse. Jui residence is nearly top now

Dunno what is so appealing about the place. It is beside a smelly big longkang.

What do Singaporeans complain about houses next to Kallang River? 

I always thought running river is good? Of course flood and climate change is story of other countries.

I grew up in Tanjong Katong and remember often going along this road.

From Jui Res you can be going East or West on the PIE in 2 mins

or North or South on the CTE in 2 mins.

That's how atrocious traffic in this area is.

But I will never buy this condo because the design of the building

is really really not to my taste.

I feel this building is a missed opportunity for the developer/architect to stand out from other developments where they kept a existing old building, by truly integration the new and the old together instead of a new building that does not even tries to have some design language similar to that of the old building.

I agree with some that the traffic can be quite bad.
