Photo Diary, 23 April : Joo Chiat Road – Koon Seng Road – Tembeling Road (Singapore)

Singapore Singapore Singapore

It’s always a pleasure exploring areas of this country that we’ve never been to. Joo Chiat and its surrounding streets are pretty photogenic. Koon Seng Road is famous for its vibrant shophouse style terrace homes, many of them decked out in Peranakan tiles and traditional embellishment, so that was a treat to photograph. As with most old neighbourhoods, it didn’t surprise me that we managed to locate a few grungier side roads and back alleys with the usual chaos of peeling paint, air-con compressors and abandoned furniture.

  1. Beautiful buildings and photography! Have you been to Cuba? It’s a similar mix of architecture and building repair- worth visiting if you interested in the architecture of places.

    1. I’ve never been to Cuba, but I have seen some pictures of the colourful architecture and you are right! The urban decay elements are so eclectic and lend so much character to any street. :)

  2. Hi, we would like to request for permission to use some of your photos for a project, kindly advise how we can contact you.
