4-room renovation plans are perhaps the most popular HDB flat type among young families due to their ample space. Measuring roughly 85 to 95 sq., these homes are about twice as large as 2-room Flexi BTO flats. But before polling for one, it’s always worth checking beforehand the floor plan of any 4-room BTO renovation package flat you’re interested in. And all of this is due to differences in household shelter positions and kitchen layouts across HDB units/developments.
Typically, these flats type comes in different layouts, and you can pick the one that suits your preferences. The best method to decide on the flats available for selection is to learn how to read an HDB floor plan. The floor renovation will teach you how to decipher the load-bearing walls, where the windows are, etc.
Layouts of 4 room BTO renovation packages are as follows:
- One of these is the most common 4-room BTO layouts (e.g., at Tampines Green Verge) has the household shelter located outside of the kitchen/beside the main door, along with a kitchen that runs parallel to the central walkway. But specific BTO flat layouts like that of the soon-to-be-completed Woodleigh Hillside development have a kitchen that runs perpendicular to the rest of the flat instead, making the entire cooking space longer than broad.
- Then there can be the more recent or future 4-room BTO units that have their household shelter located within their kitchen, e.g., 4-room homes at Tampines Green Vin), which makes them similar to their counterparts in past BTO developments Toa Payoh Crest.
- And finally, one can look for the ones that are 4-room BTO units with household shelters located between the kitchen and central walkways, which are ideal for homeowners who prefer a closed-off galley kitchen bounded on both sides by structural walls.
- 4-room flats can be said as essentially a 3-room flat with an additional bedroom. This flat is a cozy and comfortable option for families and is especially ideal for young couples looking to start a family.
