iSurprise No. 5 Church Cross Street

The front part of this building was built in the Dutch Period, with rear parts added in the British and post-independent periods. The current owner turned the house into a villa. In the process, they uncovered its original granite and terracotta floors and kept the original wooden doors and windows. To allow for bedrooms with en-suites, they changed the layout and added louvre doors. They converted the old garage area into a kitchen and transformed the old kitchen, in turn, into a room. They also built an attic atop the garage to create additional space.
