An artist’s impression of the first BTO project in Chencharu to be launched in June 2024. Plans for the new housing area near Khatib MRT station were unveiled by the Housing and Development Board on Wednesday , before Chencharu's first Build-to-Order project is launched for sale later this month.
For instance, the BTO project’s red, black and white facade mirrors the colours of the bungalow. A black outline around the first few floors indicates how high above the ground the bungalow was. "This will not only enable existing community activities in these unique recreational spaces to continue but also create opportunities to forge strong social bonds with new residents of Chencharu," HDB added.At the heart of Chencharu, the plan is for a community avenue as the main east-west thoroughfare, to connect the new park to the existing neighbourhood park near Khatib MRT.
For instance, homes will be oriented in the north-south direction to improve natural ventilation and minimise the amount of direct sunlight entering the flats and subsequent build-up of heat.
