Still not sure why the uniformity of the roofs. There are communities in California that require the Spanish tiles. It seems the government was responsible for some renovating of the neighborhood. I doubt there was the same uniformity as the area grew originally. Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I remember is that in that area there were massive conservation/restoration/rebuilding schemes going on in the 80-s and 90-s. And that almost all the rest of the CBD has been developed into modern business towers with the high building in the image as the highest. Sir James Dyson apparently lives on top three floors.

But this is a photography forum not a politics debate and the thread is about sales for goodness sake. I'll take photos of politicians of whatever hue, shade or orientation whatever I think of them. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't even mentioned in your caption or keywords. Is this a special housing district of some kind? Just curious. I'm not familiar with Singapore. Paulette It was mentioned as shophouses, usually 2 to 3 stories high. These are conservation houses which goes back as early in the 19th century. Allow me to share 2 shophouse pictures here with you, hope nobody penalise me. Let me know if more keywords are needed? I may missed out..

Tiles are mainly used for restoration work for older houses/temples before the modern architecture kicks in. Orange tiles (red clay) also looks attractive in a way but i don't think that's the main reason because is only for street appeal and increase of property value visually. But factoring the cost and energy efficient, easy to replace broken tiles than replace the entire roof when damage. There are a lot of technical benefits that are too long to go on. Even Raffles Hotel (c.1887) here when doing refurnished work for a few years, the roof were changed to a new set of orange tiles, i remember the workers up there laying it piece by piece.

Thank you for the explanation. It makes sense. I think for the aerial views in which a significant portion of the image shows the roofs it would make sense to include "orange tile roofs". I think in places like Pacific Palisades, California with Spanish tile roofs there is an aesthetic goal but it certainly makes sense that tiles are very practical.
