Good job, you've read 3 articles today! I do not know how many emergency blocks were built, because only 5 blocks survived: blk 91, 92, 93 Henderson Rd , blk 1 Maude Rd, blk 2 Kitchener Rd 2-room, all rental.
The typology with double-loaded corridor was used also for 1-Room Improved. Tenements flats with communal kitchen and toilet, opposite of self-contained flats , were also built, for example Bukit Ho Swee blocks 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, according iremember. All other 1-room blocks are rental. Some of them are 2 meters wider, flats mm long instead of mm, toilet is squarish and kitchen is L-shaped around toilet, having 2 windows example blk Bukit Merah View.
No floor plans available, because HDB never provide floorplans for rental flats. Toa Payoh was extended blocks In addition, small estates were started: Kallang Basin s? Minimal distance between facades was 30 metres. Ang Mo Kio built Marine Parade point blocks built Compared with Improved flats, the NG flats feature en-suite toilet for master bedroom, with pedestal type WC, plus store room source: Straits Times 29 Aug Point blocks , taller than surrounding blocks and having only 4 units per floor, the first had 3-Room flats, 2 were built in on Mei Ling Street and 2 in on Bendemeer Road, followed by 4-Room Improved 84 sqm point blocks in and 5-Room Standard point blocks in First 5-room flats sqm , Standard and Improved were completed in , in point block form.
Starting from , 5-Room flats were offered also in slab block form. All 5-Room flats feature master bedroom with attached toilet with pedestal type WC. By mids 2 with 3-Room, 26 with 4-Room and with 5-room.
Blocks with 4 units per floor continued to be built in late s, but height similar with surrounding blocks made me to not include them in above figure. The average size rose from 60 sqm in early to 75 sqm in late s estates. Marine Parade was, and is still the most prestigious HDB estate, also the oldest HDB estate remained intact no demolitions, no new blocks.
Average flat size: 76 sqm , a record for its time today average size is a little bigger due to upgrading with utility rooms and many 3-room flats adjoined. Other flats have balcony at living room. After just few blocks were built with more than 13 storeys. Compared with previous decade, the blocks were arranged in more rigid patterns, with corners bend to give the precinct a sense of enclosure.
Most floors blocks were perfectly aligned to east-west direction to avoid sun, surrounded on east and west sides by 4-storey walk-up blocks. Minimal distance between facades was 24 metres. Ground floor units were reintroduced, most s high-rise blocks have few usually 4 units at ground floor while rest of floor is void deck.
Most 4-storey blocks do not have void decks. In first prefabrication contract was awarded, raising the construction ratio to about , flats built in , the record being 67, flats in These s prefab blocks with load-bearing walls can be identified by being uglier, having simple floorplan, plain external walls unlike normal blocks which have columns visible on facade and windows pushed back.
Prefab flats have lower value than non-prefab blocks, hacking walls is not allowed except a door-size opening, ceiling leaks are common. A confusing thing: today BTO blocks use prefabricated panels too, but does not look similar with s blocks, construction time is double, years, and internal walls can be hacked.
Probably they were referring that in s they made blocks entirely prefab, load-bearing prefab walls. Rising home ownership left rental blocks empty. Most blocks with Emergency flats built in s were demolished in s and land was redeveloped into 3-Room to Executive flats.
Some people misspell Mansionette. Rising popularity of bigger units left HDB with many unsold small flats. Last 3-Room Model A was built in Average HDB flat size for early s estates is square meters, and sqm in Despite that at least 10, dwelling units were completed each year, very few flats have leases and A possible hypothesis is that HDB changed the purchase scheme and lease started later than actual completion date can someone confirm?
Website visitors reported that early 4-Room Model A have different floorplan, similar in shape with 4-Room New Generation with toilets near each other, but big as sqm instead of 92 sqm. Except corner units, all units are 4A, units at lift level are similar with blocks, but units at next level up are 4A too instead of 5I, with a huge balcony, units at remaining levels have a small balcony facing over staircase void and big balcony of below units.
Staircase landing is at middle of block, making lift upgrading unfeasible. Many such blocks did not got LUP. See more s floor plans. In the early s extensive construction was done in Choa Chu Kang, Hougang, Pasir Ris, Tampines, plus small additions in many other towns. Construction stopped for Tampines and Pasir Ris in why? In mids majority of blocks range between storeys, while blocks with household shelter built after range between storeys, a small number of blocks have up to 30 storeys.
Walk-up blocks almost disappeared. Unfortunately minimal distance between blocks was reduced to All blocks are linked by covered walkways with car parks, bus stations and other facilities, so you can go anywhere regardless if the sun is too hot or is raining. Since structural elements became thicker, 30 cm or more, rather than 20 cm in s blocks, and more pillars per block.
I do not know if this design is to withstand earthquakes.
