<div style="text-align: center;">Some of my peers insisted that HDB designs are downright boring and predictable; in other words...the HDB design landscape is basically dull and monotonous.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana;"> </span></div>
&nbsp;
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>However, I beg to differ.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">The truth is HDB does churn out creative and even downright bizarre HDB designs which seriously..leave me flabbergasted at times.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><i> </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">Having a semi circular balcony means that installing balcony blinds is out of question. Dead corners at both ends of the balcony are such a waste... not to mention at the master bedroom too. A friend of mine lives in a Sembawang HDB which has an even more outlandish layout - a<b> "semi </b><i><b>heart-shaped"</b> master bedroom that juts out ..unfortunately I am unable to locate a softcopy of her floorplan.</i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><i>I noticed that at least the HDB kept the bedrooms mostly regularly shaped, while confining the odd shapes to the living room and kitchen area. </i></div>
&nbsp;
<div style="text-align: center;"></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">Well, after looking at these, I am very inclined to believe that HDB has a thing against practical squarish or rectangle shaped flats. Maybe once in a while, the HDB designers are allowed to let go their imagination or there are "fun with shapes" HDB design contests! An amazing feat nevertheless! But really, I wonder do the HDB designers want to live in their own creations ....and seriously who in the right mind has approved such designs?!</div>
&nbsp;
<div style="text-align: center;"></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">I also muse on whether HDB has considered the "added value" (if any) of introducing such uniquely impractical designs? Having oddly shaped corners translate to wasted space and thus, more effort and money have to be spent to make it usable...Ugh!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">Anyway, I hope you have enjoyed this post and do let us know if you have unique floorplans to share too!</div>
