Commentary: Younger me would have loved an open-concept BTO, but only for a while

APPEAL OF OPEN- Strategy Rooms

Especially for married couples without kids, the charm of open-concept design is obvious.

An open-concept style may help home owners use space more effectively because apartments have frequently decreased since the 1980s. A 66 sqm 3 place HDB straight might feel larger than a boxed-in 90 sqm 4 area flat. For a more contemporary feel, lower obstacles may allow for more natural light and help clearer traces of vision.

More young home owners are now in favor of a bigger living room, an empty kitchen, or even a walk-in wardrobe for having. The White Flat design allows them to create their desired layout from scratch and create specialized, bespoke spaces like a home gym set-up or office office that became popular during the pandemic.

A number of my friends have chosen to knock down a wall in their own properties to create a living room that easily blends with the open kitchen and dining area. They may have liked to be able to choose which surfaces to put up more than which to break down because of the new layout choice.

Even if a couple welcomes a future child, they can often re-build the space to fit their changing needs and needs.
