DEFINITION

Noun

Housing & Development Board (HDB) flats in Singapore with nominally four bedrooms and a living room. Also known in Mandarin as “五房式组屋”.

由来
  • 自1960年成立以来，新加坡建屋发展局（Housing & Development Board，简称“建屋局”）便负责为普通民众建设廉价且高质量的公共住房。
  • 政府组屋的型式是依照睡房与客厅的房间总数划分。
  • 人们目前可直接向建屋局或在公开市场上购买五房式组屋。
  • 2020年的人口普查（Census of Population）报告显示，共有22.9%的国人居住在五房式和公寓式组屋。
  • 五房式组屋的面积一般约110平方米。所谓“四房一厅”，实际上是指三间睡房和一处可打造成书房的空间。五房式的客厅面积也比四房式的大一些。除了三间睡房、书房及客厅，五房式组屋还设有厨房、防空壕及厕所。三间睡房中面积最大的为主人房，房内还设有一间厕所。
ETYMOLOGY
  • Since its establishment in 1960, HDB has been responsible for building affordable and good-quality public housing.
  • HDB flats are categorised according to the number of rooms in the flat, with the living room counting as one room.
  • Currently, 5-room flats can be bought from HDB or on the open market.
  • According to the Census of Population in 2020, 22.9% of Singaporeans live in 5-room flats and Executive flats.
  • The floor area of a 5-room flat is typically about 110 square metres. A 5-room flat comes with three bedrooms and a space that can be converted into a study room or other uses. The living room is bigger than that of a 4-room flat. There is also a kitchen, a bomb shelter, and two bathrooms. The largest of the three bedrooms is the master bedroom, which has an en-suite bathroom.
