HDB Building Plan

HDB  will be building blocks with different sizes, lengths, heights, and shapes Block designs are often arranged and provided with common corridors, lifts and staircases. There are mainly 2 common physical forms of block designs used by the HDB. They are the slab block and the point block. Currently, most buildings are straight and simple slab blocks of 10 to 13 storey high, and are served by a single corridor and lift/s. Point blocks are straight, 20 to 25 storey blocks and contain only 5-room flats. They have a central core with lifts and staircase that serve 4 units in each floor and are often arranged in clusters of twos and threes to be identified as landmarks on the site. Today, most 5-room and executive flats are constructed in 10 to 13 storey slab blocks of different shapes and sizes with segmented corridors that serve only a few family units.

 There are 3 common features in a residential block. They are the corridors along each floor, the lift lobbies and void decks at the ground level or the first storey.
