Resembling a Piet Mondrian painting, this strikingly colorful building façade can be found right in the heartlands of Singapore.

This image is of the Piet Mondrian inspired Block 3 HDB Teck Whye apartments from Blk 165A in Choa Chu Kang. To get there, you can either take a car or public transportation. Once you've arrived at Blk 165A, take the elevators to the middle floors. Head toward the walkway to the right of the elevators where you will find the perfect vantage point of the apartment building.

Tips

When to go

Best season

All months

Best time

Morning, Mid-day, Late afternoon
All months of the year are suitable to photograph the Block 3 HDB Teck Whye apartments.
Personally, I like to visit this location in the late-afternoon when there is plenty of sunlight, but you can find similar conditions any time of the day.

Field tips

I recommend using a 16mm-35mm lens so you can frame most of the apartment without having to compromise any details when cropping.
If you bring along a model, I suggest positioning them to stand at the ground floor, walking away from the block. I always like to include a person in my architectural shots to give a human element to the photo.
To show the blocks have a similar color scheme, try including the apartment block behind Block 3 that has the same façade.
