The Singapore Cricket Club (SCC), founded in 1852, has completed a heritage refresh of its Main Lounge. The clubhouse, located on Connaught Drive overlooking the Padang, is a landmark colonial building. The refresh aimed to preserve the lounge's historical character while updating amenities for members.
According to the SCC, the project involved careful restoration of original features such as ceiling fans, timber panels, and period furnishings. The club worked with heritage consultants to ensure authenticity. The lounge now features improved lighting and seating, blending tradition with modern comfort.
The SCC, one of Singapore's oldest social clubs, has a rich history as a colonial bastion and postwar social hub. The Main Lounge refresh is part of ongoing efforts to maintain the club's heritage while meeting contemporary needs. The club has not disclosed the cost of the renovation.
