I think we may have found a carpenter now, likely to be skilled enough to help us with the renovation. There are so much detailed work that have to be done to be able to recreate the same type of craft as the original shophouse. Unfortunately, this type of craft is not so common anymore, and fewer and fewer people today want to engage in this type of carpentry. It's a bit of a dying art, sadly. The details of the old buildings are incredibly beautiful but on most of the shophouses, the wooden details have been destroyed by sunlight and rain. We want to try to recover as much as possible of the crafts in our shophouse, but at the same time make it a bit more personal and something that represents us today.
Det här är dörrar för huvudingången på ett shophouse. Dessa dörrar är orginaldörrar men har målats om i en färg som inte räknas som orginalfärg. Vad gäller stil och färgval måste alla hus renoveras enligt dess orginal för att godkännas som världsarvshus.
These are the doors of the main entrance in a shophouse (not our shophouse). These doors are original, but has been repainted in a color that is not an original color. As for style and color choices, all houses have to be renovated according to its original to qualify as a heritage house.
