Ake109 Supercharged July 1, 2015 Share July 1, 2015 After looking at this, very happy with my corridor! It is at least 7 x 5m for 4 units. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showster Twincharged July 1, 2015 Share July 1, 2015 This is definitely Ah Long safe. Very easy to catch them by opening doors at both ends of corridors. Looking at the corridor design is really eye sore... But, the BCA or the SCDF rule also so vague... 1.2m... it did not spec whether for single side housing or double sided housing... Even the designer of old rental HDB house, which is double sided, I stayed also use brain when designing... double side obviously required more than 1.2m... It is not only the reason for SCDF for easy accessing... but also fire safely... the designer did not consider the amount of people escaping through the narrow corridor with the fastest time... i think designer must be from China.... Why I say so is because, in China, when you buy a property, the lobby or the common walkway is shared among the number of households staying at that level... that why the designer bring their hometown idea in this project... I really hope no people staying there borrow from Ah Long... just in case their runner set fire.. gone case liao... when everyone open gate to run for life... they have to play slalom run liao... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point on shared walkway China's building n housing block all have 2 different fire exits which is accessible by every floor n not inter-connected for people to escape but hdeebee haven't learn this yet Safely consideration for such narrow corridor here is flawed. Another thing is that China method to calculate sqm/unit is different from SG. They include access corridor, SG doesn't. So this narrowing of corridor makes no economical sense to owners pocket.

Cos they like to show that a new "subsidized" $300k 90sqm flat is cheaper than the $350k 105sqm flat just like when the hawker say price no change, but food portion actually reduced by 30% 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they have projected a steady supply of new flats, then resale prices would not have escalated more than a 100% 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where the intention is to obfuscate reality, people will resort to theory and statistics (%, averages) to justify their lies and sound logical.. In the end, its physical real life reality that matters, not what sounds logical or mathematically correct.. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
