Staff Cecil Lee Posted February 25, 2015 Staff Share Posted February 25, 2015 One of the main considerations of purchasinga HDB flat is: "Where is the central rubbish chutelocated?"For Block 140C, it seems to be at the"central" to stacks 68, 70, 72. Akin to these stacks/units thus seem to be revolvingaround a central rubbish bin. Rather than the rubbish bin to one side as found in most other HDB blocks. Again, for Block 140B stacks 44, 46 & 48 seems to revolve aroundthe central rubbish chute. And in close proximity.In my opinion, the block design of HDB Yung Ho Spring I and Spring II blocks 140B and 140C are "bad" designs resulting in poor "Shapes and Forms" Feng Shui for these two blocks in the estate.These two are the worst examples found in this development that affects the most stacks at a time...

Staff Cecil Lee Posted February 25, 2015 Staff Share Posted February 25, 2015 Buangkok Square Sales Brochure: Sales Brochure: Site Plan & Floor Plans buangkok-square.pdf Completed in Year 2018 It is good that some HDB site maps have outlines blocks belonging to existing neighbouring plot of land. Another major consideration when choosing a flat is: "Are there any potential sharp corners of neigbouring buildings aimed towards our potential flat?" For example in the attachment; we see that there is an existing public housing. And block 154 has a sharp corner aimed towards Block 150A stack 35. In addition, watch out for multi storey car park sharp corners. For example, Block 150 is a 3/4 storey multi storey car park. And it has a sharp corner aimed towards Block 150A stack 29 lower floors of around 2nd to 4th storey. In addition, the neighbour Lake vista's multi-storey car park at block 138 is also aimed towards lower floors / storeys of blk 140B stack 46. And Lake Vista's Blk 138A does seem to be angled and most likely a corner of the building is aimed towards block 140B stack 46. "Pity those who bought Block 140B stack 46!

Here, I can draw a parallel to the concept of "We stay, here you don't" applies.

The architect who especially designed block 150A most probably get paid his/her salary and afterwards, wash their hands off the design. Once the block is built; it would be "UP" for most likely at least another 40 or 50 years or even up to it's 99 life-span. And the poor people living in block 150A have to live the rest of their 365 days x no. of years in their unit in that block 150A. Like Minister Khaw had proudly announced something like around 60 percent (correct me if I am wrong) still stay in their first unit. Imagine if one gets older; and having to bring their daily rubbish a distance away to the common chute. I suspect that many had to stay in their first flat not because all may like to stay in it; but many cannot afford to move to a newer flat as new ones are getting smaller and costlier. Thus, I believe, this '60 percent' thing is contrary to his thinking; not a complimentary but rather the plight of high costs of homes, today. For Block 150A, the architect has placed the central rubbish chute at one corner of the block. Overall, this is less than ideal especially for nearly every stack/unit in that block. Here, stacks/units 11 and 13's main door is in full view of the central rubbish chute. And stacks/units furthest to the chute: especially 23, 25, 27 and 29 would find that it may be a chore to bring especially "accidentally spilling liquid" waste quite a far distance away... and may dirty the corridor in the process. Another poor design or location of the central rubbish chute. In fact, for Block 150A, it should revert to just "common rubbish chute" at an uncommon location! I suspect, the architect who planned and approved this development certainly either does not stay in a HDB estate or has no common sense in planning this development. I truly pity those who intend to and will live in this estate in a few years time.

I truly pity those who intend to and will live in thisestate in a few years time. Contrast this with HDB Macpherson Spring layout of their common bin in each of their blocks. HDB Macpherson Spring's common bins, are very central especially for blocks 82A and 82B are in my opinion, one of the best designs as the bins never facing the main entrance doors of any stacks and also they are away at a corner beside the lift.
