645/647's not too bad. but 645/647 has high lift ratio. 1:83 iirc. 603's rather okay. 647 might not have that much privacy as it is next to staircast while 645 will get some west sun.

anyway im 7X

It's not just privacy, but SECURITY!

Too near staircase, bad guy may hide half a floor up/down waiting for owner to return home and open door.

To make the matter worst, because the staircase is too near the service yard, and designer cover up half the stairs (so that bad guy will not be able to climb over and enter from kitchen).

Which means, if anyone hiding there will have no fear that residents in blk 637, 639, and 621 are able to see.

You'll need to put windows at your service yard. If not, burglar can climb into your flat easily.

Not practical. Cos the bamboo pole is horizontally put out to hang cloths, not vertically poke out, like the old types.

If got window, create obstacle when puting bamboo out to hang cloths.

Why not?
HDB design without catering for poles to hang outside?

My understanding of the structure is as below. I modified the pic to using color bamboo poles for illustration.

The reason of changing from vertical to horizontal is because of safety. Many maid falling down because the poles with wet cloths were too heavy on the other end of the vertical pole.

645/647 will get slight northeast wind. 603 im afraid not much wind, maybe except high levels might get some. the windy units are those facing waterway/the back.

I remember reading somewhere that the wind direction is either NE or SW.

That's not for bamboo poles. Aluminium poles are pre-fixed there, not removable.

yeah. so the ones getting most wind are actually those units on the borders facing outside (i.e. waterway / school site)

yes called them this morning and they say when we r back to singapore can go and select ><

You better check again carefully as HDB hotline most of the time do not provide correct information. If you miss the selection for the day, you are considered as giving up.

not much pros and cons i suppose, really up to preference. to me, it's more aboutthe bedroom space.
