The Black and White House in Singapore is the most distinctive and imposing of the island's colonial architectural legacy. Surviving examples are testament to their physical and aesthetic durability—a unique tropical style with a colorful pedigree of architectural influences. Today, these beautiful houses continue to serve their original purpose as gracious family homes, but others have been successfully adapted as restaurants, offices, and artisan studios. Written and photographed with flair and admiration, "Black and White" traces their evolution through the architects and practices that designed them—houses as relevant today as when they first appeared over a hundred years ago.
