Even the roof has its little moments of beauty.

The gold-gilded fascia boards sit just beneath the roof, carved into timber that protects the rafters underneath. What could have been purely utilitarian becomes part of the house’s beauty.

You’ll spot this phoenix in more than one corner of the house.

In Teochew culture, the phoenix carries wishes of grace, harmony, and good fortune. Placed among floral motifs and bright roof details, it becomes more than decoration. A small symbol of blessing, woven into the architecture.

At the entrance of the House of Tan Yeok Nee, dragonfish corbels (鳌鱼, áo yú) mark the corners of the structure. These hybrid creatures symbolise strength, transformation, and the ability to overcome obstacles. Traditionally, they were believed to protect the home, while also showcasing the artistry and meaning woven into Teochew architectural design.

A closer look at one of the murals in the House of Tan Yeok Nee. In the 《郭子儀慶壽》(guō zǐ yí qìng shòu) mural, 郭子儀 (guō zǐ yí), a respected general, is shown celebrating his birthday — a scene symbolising honour and longevity.

Surrounded by well-wishers, the composition reflects both prestige and personality. A subtle, playful detail is hidden within… can you spot it?
