The annual Archifest is back, running Sep 23-Oct 9 with a big pavillion at Raffles Place Park, a slew of special events and, our favorite, an all-new series of Architours, guided tours through public, institutional and residential buildings done by top architectural firms. 

Among the tours taking place Sep 24-25, Oct 1-2 and Oct 8 are those involving some pretty stunning residences around Singapore. Here are just a few.
