Corner of Joo Chiat Road and Koon Seng Road. The building typology of this 4 storey hostel shares the same language as the flats at Tiong Bahru Estate. The two storey shop houses at Koon Seng Road are well known for their ornate facades.

You can see another watercolour piece not far from this area here.


200 x 400mm, 300gsm Daler-Rowney Aquarelle paper. Hero M86 fountain pen with Noodler's ink and watercolours, about two hours.

  1. This is a wonderful watercolor, Tia! The blanced composition of the tree & 4-story flats, with your 'splashes' of sky really make a beautiful piece of art - thanks for posting this!
