A friend bot a 4 room bto after her sers.New bto put one bed
No space liao
One of the bedrooms also facing corridor for units facing corridorPeople don't like people walk past and look into living room
New flats now don’t have good ventilations cos flats are built closely together: the 1970 flats built with flats that had huge car parks between each block.ah gui actually prefer the older design, much more airy and brighter
the new designs suck badly
I m wondering, if you buy a 4 room corner, can you buy a 4 room next door corridor unit or 3 room next door unit?Didn’t they even feature units that owners hacked the kitchen
If rooms n places r big then home owners no need do all these extra things to give illusion that the house is more spacious

The rectangular layout in older hdb is to guarantee air flows from north to south
the whole unit is ventilated. Look at the current layout
Yup, windows are on both sides of the house. Current layout, windows are all facing one side.
But anyway some will complain they wont want windows along corridors so...
Think last time tend go for practical considerations, squeezing in more people in a comfortable space.Not just much bigger, but the layout is well designed where there is very little wasted space. Space usage is very efficient, so every area can be big.
Nowadays the unit layout is horribly inefficient, lots of wasted space. End up every area has to shrink down to fit into the total sqm. Not only that, even if you hack out the walls, the fixed layout (i.e windows, toilets, kitchen, storeroom) will not allow you to truly maximise the space as well as old unit layouts.
Some retard like to argue otherwise, but facts are, you simply can't get rid of most of the wasted space no matter how you rearrange it and hack walls.
