About
The bungalows on Bukit Chermin belong to a very specific period of the "Black & White", or Tropical Mock Tudor, house — a style that emerged rapidly in the early 1900s and disappeared equally swiftly in the 1940s, representing a unique architectural phase in the history of Singapore.
The Building
House Nos. 20, 22 and 24 are typical of Black & White houses built by the colonial government in the early 1900s. They feature a masonry base that elevates the house from the tropical damp, with the rest of the structure built in half-timbered construction. The resultant architectural language is a clear and honest aesthetic expressed through red brick columns, black timber secondary structure, and white plaster infills and windows.
