Holland Village MRT Station (CC21) is an underground station along the Circle Line (CCL). It is built underneath the junction of Holland Road and Holland Avenue, next to the Holland Village neighborhood, where this station gets its name.

Holland Village takes its name from Holland Road, in turn named after an early resident, Hugh Holland, a well-respected architect known for his acting pursuits. The area was once home to European civilian populations and is still regarded today as an expatriate social enclave within an upmarket residential estate, filled with restaurants, drinking establishments and specialist shops popular with expatriates and younger locals alike.

Apart from Holland Village itself, the station primarily serves residential estates, such as private homes around Leedon Park and Chip Bee Gardens, as well as public housing estates around Holland Drive and Holland Close. Nearby schools, and places of worship are also served.

Art in Transit: “Holland Beat” by Jeremy Sharma

This artwork reflects the culture and heartbeat of Holland Village. Holland V has a diverse crowd of expatriates, youth and heartlanders. It has trendy cafes and old-world charm, bustling areas and quiet retreats. Here the mythical Windmill reminds you of Holland, but this ‘Holland’ is really named after Hugh Holland, an early resident who was an architect and an amateur actor. An old airline safety card, chosen for its colour scheme and clean lines to match the station interior, inspired its design. Created through a process of drawing, collage and digital manipulation, the final artwork has a very retro contemporary feel about it. The figures are arranged in a way that has a flow and non-linear narrative in relation to space and imagery.
