The black and white colors are absolute contrast. When used wisely, it can portray distinct style. One of the most popular uses of these colors was during the Imperial British colonial period in Malaysia and Singapore during the early 20th century. During the colors started a trend of colonial Anglo-Malay style bungalows based on dark timber beams and whitewashed walls. Alfred John Bidwell for the W. Patchitt House at Cluny Road, Singapore first designed it in 1903.
This distinctive style has been part of Singapore historic architectural scene and the black and white bungalows still exist today. Although most are government owned, and some became avenues for restaurants and bars. The remaining bungalows continued to be popular, serving mainly expatriates on lease or private homeowners whom love their open and spacious design. Some come with large verandahs, which provides for afternoon coolness to enjoy the great outdoors.
For those who appreciate the colonial black and white style, we have modernized indoor and outdoor furniture with the black and white hues that can continue to emphasize and match the this traditional style.
