Yap Ah Shak House rises across six levels of heritage-inspired architecture, defined by symmetry, purposeful design, and timeless restraint. Crafted in collaboration with Unit One Design and Atelier Ten, its features — from pre-war shophouse-inspired louvred shutters to openable windows — offer not only character, but quiet performance: regulating airflow, light, and temperature with precision. Inside, the House is shaped by tactile finishes, richly textured local wood veneer-panelled walls, and sculptural lighting that invite warmth and clarity. Classic design elements are subtly echoed throughout — not as statement pieces, but as part of a design language that values functionality and timeless form over novelty. Dining at Yap Ah Shak House is rooted in sincerity and connection, with each venue offering a distinct culinary perspective. Brasserie Alma on our fourth floor, serves poised French comfort fare — elegant mains, refined starters, and classic desserts presented with quiet confidence. Osteria Gamberoni brings a breezier, more sociable energy, with handmade pasta, seasonal antipasti, and robust grilled seafood and steaks ideal for sharing. At Kiku, small plates with Japanese inflection are paired with a focused drinks list alongside a curated jazz playlist — an offering designed for intentional hosting or solitary escapes. These venues double as extensions of the House’s social and meeting spaces, each setting carefully composed to match tone and use. Brasserie Alma offers a subdued, music-forward ambiance suited for business lunches or slow-food evenings. Osteria Gamberoni, on the ground floor, evokes the conviviality of an Italian neighbourhood table — ideal for casual gatherings and impromptu conversations. Kiku, our jazz kissa and vinyl bar, provides a hushed and decidedly Japanese after-work drinks atmosphere — perfect for one-on-ones, creative resets, or evening wind-downs. In addition to its social and dining venues, Yap Ah Shak House includes a comprehensive suite of meeting rooms and private workspaces distributed throughout the building. These range from private boardrooms to discreet one-on-one spaces, each designed to accommodate different formats of discussion, collaboration, or focused work. Across both floors and venues, attention is given to acoustic comfort, ergonomic support, precise temperature control and air circulation — ensuring that every workspace supports sustained use with ease and clarity. To complement these environments, artwork is thoughtfully placed throughout the House as an integral part of how the space is experienced. A total of 168 original pieces — including paintings, prints, and sculpture — are found in lounges, corridors, and meeting rooms. Created by regional artists such as Azaikmal Ahmad Rashid, Tresyah Join, Syarifah Nadhirah, W. Rajaie, and A. Kasim Abas, these works introduce quiet moments of colour, nature, and abstraction — offering a sense of calm, curiosity, or reprieve from the urban melee. Access to the building is secured through a four-tier system: monitored building entry points, lift-access controls, and floor-level security. Entry is restricted to authorised members and their guests, supported by round-the-clock security personnel for discretion and peace of mind. On-site valet parking is available, with overflow options nearby to ensure smooth arrival, even during peak hours.
