An artist's impression of a "White Flat" layout, which gives home owners more flexibility to design spaces to suit their needs and preferences.This is a new open-concept layout that the Housing and Development Board will be offering as part of a trial, starting with a BTO project in the Kallang-Whampoa area that will be launched for sale in October.
Because such flats will not have internal walls partitioning the living and bedroom spaces, they offer buyers a"white canvas" to design the flat according to their needs and preferences, HDB said on Monday after the initiative was announced by National Development Minister Desmond Lee at a pre-university seminar.
There will be no visible beams between the living and bedroom spaces, as the structural columns are rotated and tucked to the edges of the unit, said HDB. The common bathroom has also been relocated from within the kitchen to be nearer to the common bedrooms, and the service yard is now separated from the kitchen with a door.
“A three-room flat of approximately 700 sq ft could cater to the needs of a couple without children, giving them the versatility to support their lifestyle. They may want a dedicated work or exercise space, a walk-in wardrobe or a larger living area for hosting," he noted.
