Old Hill Street Police Station

The story behind the place

Old Hill Street Police Station has a formal, repeated architectural rhythm: rows of windows, pale walls and a long frontage. Its coloured shutters transform that repetition into one of Singapore’s most recognisable civic facades. The former police building has since been adapted for government offices. Look for how the colours travel across the building, giving a large institutional structure a surprisingly playful presence.
