This month we celebrate National Day as well as our Bicentennial year. Singapore while small has shown much progress within the short time it has been around. Rich is culture, diverse in heritage, its architectural landscape ever evolving. As we embrace the new, we also treasure the old.  Therefore, the Colonial Home is our highlight for this month’s issue.

A historical architectural icon, the black and white home stems from the colonial era and is still a favourite revival theme. This issue we break down the characteristics of this beloved style.
