"The Singapore House is not just a building; it is a cultural
phenomenon. Culture means ordinary everyday values-attitudes,
beliefs, ideas and heritage. These apply to the cultural landscape
of which the house forms a part and is particularly applicable to a
fast growing metropolis like Singapore that has changed
immeasurably in recent years."Setting the scene for this newly

context of its colonial past. Architecture, the house plan,
landscape,societal norms, recreation and more are all presented in

architecture in the city-state.
