AT the height of the pandemic in 2020, most people stuck at home picked up new hobbies like baking and cooking, or started paying attention to their health with new fitness routines.
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.
