Archirapture : Singapore round 4

We're almost at the end of the Archirapture series. This time I'm going all in for buildings and architecture. Here we go!





Honeycomb-like design for the balconies

Looks like an old western-style cinema to me

SOTA with green walls. Talk about going green

Kinda like the modern rustic incorporating glass, concrete beams and different coloured wood

Our hostel, the Bunc@Radius. Going traditional/vernacular

Wanderlust bar or something. Lighting up the traditional style with lights and a little splash of colours


Chinese food court with intricate panel as a facade

Summer beach house. Nah, something I took whilst on the train

Hollywood! Greek style temple front facade with intricate carvings

Old movie theater styled attraction at the Universal Studios

Brightly coloured entrance with elmo on a bland, stony background

New York Museum of Natural History in Singapore

Welcome to the dockyards. Shipping dock buildings

Fairy tale like castle in the land Far Far Away

Spooky church. Still having the basilica like structure

Red and black shop among the white. Way to be different

Kinda looks like jumbled-up letters

Entrance to a Chinese temple maybe...? Wait, in the middle of Orchard Road?

Modern building with a traditional Chinese roof at the very top. FUSION

Reminds me of the old residential quarters, especially with the bicycles in front

Kopitiam? The wooden traditional style windows does give a hierarchy on this one


Despite having a lot of modern, glass buildings and skyscrapers Singapore doesn't neglect is traditional buildings. In fact, these traditional buildings, especially the shoplots gives the place a little more character and depth. It is truly splendid!
