Despite being a very modern city, Singapore is also blessed by having a legacy of lovely old colonial houses. Although many have been demolished and replaced with something more modern, or converted into commercial properties, many remain as dwells. Known as Black and Whites, these distinctive houses are dotted around where I live, and this one on Chatsworth Avenue, despite being a little run down and perhaps not fully occupied, is one of my favourites.

The beautiful black and white houses/bungalows of Singapore, now often referred to locally as simply 'black and whites', are an important legacy of Singapore's colonial era. Apart from being aesthetically intriguing, they are often admired for their exotic mixture of styles skillfully adapted for the local tropical monsoon climate.
