The Singapore mansion in Crazy Rich Asians was portrayed as Tyersall Park , but the scenes were actually filmed at Carcosa Seri Negara in Kuala Lumpur, inside the Perdana Botanical Gardens. The movie also used a separate real property, Be-Landa House near Kuala Lumpur, for Eleanor Young’s home.

What to know

  • The grand ancestral mansion seen in the film is meant to be in Singapore’s Tyersall Park.
  • In real life, the exterior and interior scenes were filmed at two abandoned mansions that make up Carcosa Seri Negara in Kuala Lumpur.
  • Another “Singapore” house in the movie, Eleanor Young’s home, was filmed at Be-Landa House outside Kuala Lumpur.

Why it looks like Singapore

The film uses Singapore as the story setting, but several key mansion scenes were shot in Malaysia for practical filming reasons. That’s why the location feels unmistakably Singaporean even though the real building is elsewhere.

TL;DR: the famous “Singapore mansion” is fictional Tyersall Park, but the real filming location was Carcosa Seri Negara in Kuala Lumpur.
