Black and white bungalow

Black and white bungalow

A black and white bungalow is a white-painted bungalow of a style once commonly used to house European expatriate or colonial families in tropical colonies, typically the Southeast Asian colonies of the British Empire in the nineteenth century.

Some still exist in Singapore and other former colonies. While they now suffer from some stigma owing to their association with colonialism, some have been renovated, equipped with modern plumbing and air conditioning, and still serve as residences.
