THE ARCHITECTURE
The Argus Residences comprises a row of five terrace houses built in 1928 in the Arts & Craft style. They were homes to several families of the Eurasian congregation who worship at the Assumption Church on Farquhar Street. Owned by the Catholic Church, the houses have been handed over to GTHH for its restoration and long-term care.
The houses have been restored to the exacting standards of GTHH, a process which has taken twelve months to complete. The exteriors maintain their original structure, reflecting colonial heritage, while the interiors now feature modern comforts.
THE INTERIOR
The interiors provide contemporary amenities and have been styled to incorporate the British colonial influence and cultural references from the Eurasian community.
Each house has a sitting and dining area downstairs while upstairs, there is a king-size four-poster colonial bed, two single day beds and a king-size sofa bed. Also found downstairs is a kitchenette, a spacious toilet, and a separate pavilion for the slipper bath. There are bathrooms with a shower on each floor. For those with mobility issues, some houses include a king-size pull-out bed downstairs.
The aesthetics and the detailed layering of the interiors will delight your senses with our selected vintage and antique furniture, overlaid with textiles, objets d’art and artwork created exclusively for this project.
THE PRECINCT
Available for short and long term lets, the Argus Residences are managed and operated by the team at Seven Terraces, just a two-minute stroll away. Located in a quiet cul-de-sac off Love Lane, the houses are secluded yet right in the heart of the Heritage Zone.
