For urban planner Samantha Chia and architectural photographer and artist Finbarr Fallon, the days of being confined to their apartments led to conversations about what makes a home and what it means to be at home.
From these conversations came the idea of putting together a book, featuring homes in 10 iconic private residences in Singapore. UNIT. a glimpse into Singapore’s 1970s - ‘80s private apartments will be available at the end of July.
