7 A TROPICAL ARCHITECTURE
The iconic black and white houses of Singapore’s colonial era remain as impressive today as they were over a 100 years ago. Neither too lavish nor too ornate, they possess true character and allure.
One of the key features of the black and white is the veranda – for the colonial Englishman this was where he could sit back and read his paper, relax with a cup of tea or equally offer guests a gin and tonic to enjoy whilst the sun sets.

20 Artist’s impression It’s a combination that’s bold, highly stylised and memorably glamorous. And it never seems to date, no matter how many other colours and shades bypass it in the ever-changing fashion stakes. Black and white represent sophistication at its best, elegance at its most alluring.
21 FUNCTIONALITY & FORM
Function and form are fundamental in the choice of design, the professional finishes and the meticulous attention to detail. Thoughtfully planned interior spaces are enhanced by copious amounts of natural light filtered through floor to ceiling windows. 1919 has been designed to create airy, welcoming spaces that lend themselves well to socialising and entertaining.
In particular, the kitchen design creates a strong impact - high gloss acrylic cabinets are enveloped by a black granite countertop and backsplash. The sleekness of the design is complemented with the very latest in modern European appliances, including a combi oven and microwave, a built-in fridge freezer and an undercounter washer dryer.
