Completion: 1970s

Architect: Jurong Town Corporation

These rental apartments are part of Taman Jurong, one of the oldest modern housing precincts in Singapore located within Jurong Town, adjacent to Jurong Lake Park. Sitting on rudimentary green lawns, the slab blocks are generously spaced apart and feature alternating bands of common corridor similar to their HDB counterpart. These cantilevered bands of precast concrete parapets continue around the corner as the stair core balustrade.

In the dusk light, the precise, robust geometry and smooth plastered surfaces are almost sculptural in character.

About Jeremy San

Jeremy San.png

The late Jeremy San Tzer Ning was an accomplished architectural photographer based in Singapore, who documented local as well as regional architectural works in Malaysia, Hong Kong and China. Schooled in RMIT, Melbourne, Australia as an interior designer, his graduation thesis was an ambitious photo-documentation project of modern heritage buildings, which also spawned his photography career.

Upon graduation, Jeremy practised as an interior designer in the architecture office KNTA, and also collaborated with experimental design studios HAM Architects, LingHao Architects and AT Lab on various competition and proposals. His design training and practice experience gave him an empathetic eye as a photographer capturing architecture – whether historic, newly completed, or even under construction – as well as urban landscapes. He has been engaged by leading design firms including Alsop, Foster + Partners, Atelier Liu Yu Yang, K2LD, Formwerkz, KUU, Farm Works, UOL, DPA and ipli. His works are widely published, including in journals such as ish, Cubes, and SA. He was also commissioned by Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) to work on the Singapore 1:1 exhibitions (2005, 2007), and has collaborated with Studio Lapis on conservation documentation projects such as Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall. In 2012, he was awarded the Discernment Prize for the ICON de Martell Cordon Bleu photography awards.
