I SOL AT ED WOR KI N G CO MM U N I TY Most working communities on site exist in the spaces above the shophouses, taking over the function and signiďŹ cance of the shophouse typology. These private offices occupied by small companies has created a much more inward community that isolates them from each other, which poses a huge contrast to the vibrant community of the shophouses in the past.

R E-I N V EN T I N G 5 FO OT WAY Investigating the prominent feature of shophouses, the 5 footway, on how does it act as a social connector in the past to engages and bring the community together. The the spatial identity of ďŹ ve foot way is captured and re-invented into a street within the co-working community through various spatial design to engages the community that takes over the shophouse typology, the office workers.

It is expensive to rent, let alone own a space in that area for small business owners as the options they have are all large floor plates that pose to be unnecessary and costly.

Spillover activities to 5 foot way Transitional corridor continuous path

In the past, the five foot way has became a public space where vibrant activities happens along the stretch. The reason behind it is that, five foot way extends and connects the adjacent lot under the same roof, where people naturally uses the space for different activities, maximizing the engagement with the community.

Offices with high privaccy level dictates a boundary for the movement of the workers. As workers have a limited time break hours, the offices that occupy the spaces above shophouse have turned the five foot way into a transition corridor.
