设有四房一厅的新加坡政府组屋。也称五房式组屋。

DEFINITION

Noun

Housing and Development Board (HDB) flats in Singapore with four bedrooms and one 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（简称建屋局，Housing and Development Board）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数量总和进行划分。
  • 人们目前可通过建屋局或在公开市场上购买到五房式组屋。
  • 根据 2020 年的人口普查（Census of Population）报告显示，共有百分之 22.9 的国人居住在五房式及公寓式组屋。
  • 五房式组屋的面积一般约110平方米左右。所谓“四房一厅”，实际上是指三间睡房以及一处可打造成书房或用作其他用途的空间。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。三间睡房中面积较大的为主人房，房内还设有一间厕所。 
ETYMOLOGY
  • Since its establishment in 1960, HDB has been responsible for building affordable and high-quality public housing for the common people.
  • Types of government flats are distinguished according to the total number of rooms, which includes living rooms and bedrooms.
  • 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 lived in 5-Room flats and Executive flats.
  • The area of a 5-Room flat is typically about 110 square metres. “四房一厅” (four rooms and one living room) in actuality refers to three bedrooms and a space which could potentially be converted into a study or used for other purposes. The living room of a 5-Room flat is also bigger than that of a 4-Room flat. In addition to three bedrooms, a study, and a living room, there is also a kitchen, a bomb shelter, and toilets. The largest of the three bedrooms is the master bedroom, which has an en-suite toilet.
