Modern Colonial Architecture
Black and White Bungalow off Bukit Timah
“It’s hard not to gush about this black and white colonial-style bungalow on a leafy road off Bukit Timah. Step inside the house, and you’re not in black-white territory anymore. There is colour everywhere, from the citrus-green silk drapes lining the two-storey high windows of the grand triple-volume foyer to the bright summery stripes of tangerine, turquoise, lime and scarlet….” Home & Décor Magazine.
This new construction was designed in the style of pre-war “Black and White” colonial homes. The design brief was to recreate the glamour of a bygone era whilst introducing contemporary elements to suit a modern family while remaining faithful to the colonial architectural style.
Design Intervention had an ideal platform in which to create a formal, romantic and elegant atmosphere. Different styles were successfully thrown into the mix. Traditional and classical shapes of furniture were given a new lease of life and in turn upholstered in surprisingly modern fabrics. A sense of the unexpected was introduced throughout this project with the usage of colour, textures and sensual fabrics.
