Red House Clarke Quay
Inspired by 山水画 (Chinese Landscape Painting), the entrance boasts layered curved panels of varying heights that lead the guests into the intimate space of the first floor.
Established in 1976, Red House Seafood is one of Singapore’s oldest seafood restaurants. Its style of cuisine can be described as ‘Nanyang’, literally translated as ‘Southern Seas’ Chinese. Its rich, layered flavours and preparation techniques have evolved from Canton, Fujian and Hainan origins, to integrate with those of Malay, Indian and Peranakan traditions.
This iteration of the new Red House Seafood at Clarke Quay takes reference from the rich and layered Nanyang culture. It is modern, contemporary and culturally diverse, while remaining Chinese at its core. It is where the Far East and South Seas meet.

Leading up to the second floor, the guests are greeted by large lantern inspired decorative lights that environ the high ceiling, anchoring the space with their swaying movements. Guests dine on rattan-backed chairs with old straits coffee shop inspired tables that evoke a sense of nostalgia and the richness of the Nanyang Culture.
The material palette explores widely used materials that are evocative of the Nanyang style: rattan, timber, and patterned metallic frames. The distinct red along with Quatrefoil pattern adorning multiple elements of the interior as an homage to a contemporary Nanyang identity.
