Ah yes, the street where the term “good class bungalow” doesn’t really do justice to the epic black-and-white houses, palatial (both large and palace-like) landed estates and modern architectural mansions.

Home to rococo pediments and fountains through to mod pads and even a green roof, Cluny Park is one of the most sought-after addresses in Singapore.

Not to be confused with Cluny Park Road, which runs the western length of the Singapore Botanic Gardens, Cluny Park ambles off into the hillside where reclusive mansions can get away from it all – albeit with close proximity to Orchard, town, and just about everything else.

Architecture-wise, we’re talking everything from historic homes through to imposing modern mansions – the only commonality is scale.

On the other side of the spectrum, you have imposing, modern mansions…

…and some architectural marvels, such as the mod stunner below, with its colour blocking and statement roof.

And let’s not forget the flourishes, from ornate sculptural water features through to a splash of gilt on your lamp post!
