Black & White Colonial Bungalow, Malcolm Road

DESCRIPTION

Step into Singapore’s colonial heritage through this watercolour painting of the iconic black-and-white bungalows along Malcolm Road — elegant architecture nestled within lush tropical greenery.

Built in the 1920s by Singapore’s Public Works Department (PWD), these timber-beamed, whitewashed homes were designed for high-ranking British civil servants and remain a lasting symbol of colonial-era architecture. Today, they are managed by the Singapore Land Authority.

This painting captures the timeless charm of one such bungalow, with bold black timber beams, whitewashed walls, and terracotta roof tiles framed by a graceful palms and lush green background! Loose, expressive brushstrokes evoke the freshness of tropical light, while delicate details celebrate the architectural beauty and heritage of these much-loved homes.

A harmonious balance of manmade design and natural beauty, this piece is perfect for collectors who appreciate Singapore’s history, heritage architecture, and the elegance of watercolour art. It makes a striking statement piece for any home or workspace.
