Shophouse Demolition Stage Begins!

After over a year of planning, this week we finally started physical progress on the building. We have started the process of demolition, which includes:

  • The removal of several interior rooms that do not conform to the traditional design.
  • The removal of the modern bathroom and kitchen that was built in the rear courtyard.
  • The removal of the concrete patio that was built on top of the rear airwell.
  • Hacking into the concrete floor to discover what remains of the original granite airwells at the center and rear.

This is an important stage because it will help us find out what additional secrets may lurk behind or below all these items. Here are some photos of the progress.
