HDB Buangkok Square Site plan

[Cecil Lee]

HDB Buangkok Square (new recently launched BTO Flats)
In this batch of recent release of Built to Order or BTO flats;
I like the effort the architect took to "boldly" align all blocks and stacks in a true North and true South orientation.
As the architect of this plot of "Square" did not go for the "lazy" method of orienting the blocks parallel to the "square" but rather, consider the orientation North-South FIRST to design the development to a consumer or future re-sale friendly: "The unit is in a North-South facing and vice versa".
Thus, I give the architect... a pat on the back for going "traditional"...
If one looks at the site-map closely only the Multi-storey car park Is oriented parallel with the plot of land.

[Cecil Lee]

One of the main considerations of purchasing
a HDB flat is: "Where is the central rubbish chute
located?"

For Block 140C, it seems to be at the
"central" to stacks 68, 70, 72.

Akin to these stacks/units thus seem to be revolving
around 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 around
the 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...

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!

I hate it when architects lost
touch of the 'real life'
situation.
Here, I can draw a parallel to
the concept of "We stay, here
you don't" applies.
Many times; and still today, I
hear of geomancers who visit
the homes/office of their
clients and give ridiculous
advice like: stop using the
"master toilet totally". Such
persons come to our home for
only an hour or two. And after
they left; the poor "victim"
has to bear with the
consequence of the geomancer's
word.
Same here. 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.

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.
