    CLUB STREET is known for its restaurants and bars but is also home to a series of steel-rod caricatures depicting the people who have contributed to Singapore's heritage and history.

    Clifton Partners, a real estate investment firm, commissioned Malaysian design firm, SCULPTUREATWORK, to create the series of caricatures which is mounted on the wall of 64 Club Street, a shophouse which the company owns.

    The caricatures feature familiar characters such as the coolie, samsui woman and the rickshaw rider.
