057_HDB LUP

I have earlier written about HDB (public housing by Housing & Development Board) in 009_public housing. Space planning and outlook of the flats differ from each other depending on their generations. According to HDB, “some HDB blocks built before 1990 were not provided with 100% access to lift to meet demands for privacy”. The Lift Upgrading Program (LUP) is initiated by HDB to improve such condition. It is quite interesting to see how an existing building can be adapted to fit in a new element that was not designed for.

Regulation is regulation. You don’t question or argue with regulation.

This is probably one of the shortest handrails in the world.
