One House One Store Project
Transforming residential spaces into micro retail hubs, creating opportunities for homeowners and bringing commerce closer to communities.
What is the One House One Store Project?
The One House One Store Project is an innovative initiative that enables homeowners to convert part of their residential property into small retail spaces. This concept bridges the gap between home and business, creating a new model of micro-entrepreneurship.
By transforming unused spaces into functional storefronts, participants can generate additional income whilst contributing to local economic development and community building.

Benefits for Homeowners

Property Value Enhancement
Dual-purpose properties often command higher market values, providing long-term financial benefits beyond immediate income.
Community Impact
The One House One Store Project revitalises neighbourhoods by creating vibrant micro-commercial zones within residential areas. This innovative approach to urban planning brings numerous benefits to local communities:
- Reduced travel distances for everyday shopping needs

- Enhanced safety through increased street activity and natural surveillance
