it is not just beautiful, the location save you time, the facilities give you convenience, the neighborhood put you in the right community,...a house is not a home, 4 walls do not make a house.

Must be more space-concious.

When we compare our city with HK, the only thing we have caught up with them is the small and limited living space. Other things like salary, GDP, not.
The recent clementi DBSS (I am only talking about the 5 rm cuz it's the biggest unit they are selling), it totally reminded me of the apartment that I stayed in HK. I used to think that only HK apartments are designed in such a way that the moment you enter the bedroom, you can touch the bed. Now after seeing the recent showflat, I am confident to say Singapore is "catching up" and will surpass HK very soon.
I also saw the clementi DBSS too. Yes, it looked small.But the rms aslo came with built-in wardrobe and L-box. I think, these are also contributing factors.

HDB won't shrink flats, says Khaw Boon Wan
Minister allays concerns and says family sizes will drive future changes

National Development Minister Khaw Boon Wan has offered some clarity on the ever-emotive issue of HDB flat sizes, giving his assurance that Singapore will not go the way of cities such as Hong Kong and Tokyo, where flats have become tiny. -- ST PHOTO: ALPHONSUS CHERN

Speaking to The Straits Times, Mr Khaw said the Government is committed 'to maintain a good quality of life', and there are no plans to shrink HDB flats. Any future change in flat sizes will depend largely on family sizes, he said.
The issue surfaced at a Reach forum last month, when a member of the audience asked Mr Khaw about flat sizes, which sparked a subsequent debate online and in ST's Forum page.
Mr Khaw noted at the forum that HDB's design norms had not changed since 1997. 'My comment at that dialogue was in response to a question. I was purely stating that HDB plans (flat sizes) based on certain design norms, and as far as I know, it has not changed for the past 15 years,' he told ST in a recent interview. -
