Conservation within condos- redux

Yesterday's Straits Times(19th August) had a feature article in the Architecture pages discussing conservation houses that are incorporated within a condominium development.
I've covered that in an earlier posting. What I didn't realise though, were the plans for Tan Chin Tuan's mansion- I'd always thought it was going to be the clubhouse for Cairnhill Crest. Really dig the idea of the whole house being converted into apartments though...
That really looks like one grand house!

The article also mentioned Ventana, a development on Pasir Panjang Hill developed by the A.C.T property group, one of the first few developers who got into the trend of conservation before it became fashionable. That's another trend altogether, really- the conservation of family homes into smaller units(be they townhouses or apartments), where descendants keep a few units for themselves and either rent or sell the rest.Below are a few examples:-

1. On Chancery, a family home was divided into a couple of townhouses, with the owners keeping a few units and renting out the rest. What results is a gorgeous, hilltop residence with very well-renovated and conceptualised interiors.

2. Close to Kovan MRT, a family subdivided their family shophouse into apartments and kept one unit for themselves. These conservation apartments alternately come with water features and maisonette layouts. What's consistent though, are the new, fashionably contemporary finishes.

3. As per the above, Tan Chin Tuan's family are similarly dividing the house into apartments, keeping a few and leasing the rest out. I am feeling the guilt of a voyeur but I would so love to see the end result!
