The Singapore House is a major attempt to document the rich architectural legacy represented by large houses built in spacious grounds by preceding generations of the prosperous and wealthy. The first half of the book is a comprehensive study of the various styles that were introduced, and their local variants. The second half offers a sampling of individual houses, their interiors and the lives of their inhabitants.
