Changi Cottage is a simple part-one and part-two storey cottage built immediately after World War II. Its distinctive features include large over-hanging clay tile roofs, red facing brick walls and columns, and door and window openings much large in proportion to the walls.

The Changi Sailing Club as it is known today, began in 1936 as the Changi Garrison Yacht Club (CGYC) started by a group of British soldiers from the Royal Engineers, stationed here before World War II. The CGYC reincarnated as the RAF (Changi) Sailing Club, or RAFYC as it was more popularly known, when the RAF moved into Changi after the Japanese Occupation.

The Old Commando Headquarters is a grand two-storey Neo-Classical colonial building with colonnaded arch-shaped verandahs and distinctive fluted Doric columns was formerly the Royal Engineers' Command Building. Built in 1935 by the British as part of a naval and air base to protect the eastern front to the Johor Straits from any Japanese attack from the sea during the Second World War.

Originally the British Airforce Officers' Club, it was taken over by the then Singapore Sports Council when the British Government pulled out of Singapore and became the Changi Swimming Club in 1972. The club was later privatised in 1988 and renamed the Changi Beach Club.
