The Housing and Development Board (HDB) claims that more Singaporeans are opting for "open kitchens" in new build-to-order (BTO) flats.

According to HDB, 60 percent of BTO flat buyers have opted to go for "open kitchens" as people do not cook as often today and households would be able to make better use of the space, if they do not need it for a kitchen.

"This option also saves home buyers the hassle and cost of hacking down the walls if they prefer an open-kitchen layout," a HDB spokesman told The Straits Times.
HDB first piloted the "open kitchen" concept at a Teck Ghee Parkview BTO flat in September 2012. It said 70 percent of the buyers opted for the ""open kitchen".
The first of such flats will be ready in the first quarter of 2017.

The "open kitchen" concept is introduced as part of the Optional Component Scheme which the HDB introduced in 1989 to allow homes to be customised.
However, HDB's new "options" belie the truth of why such "open kitchen" concepts are necessary.

First, a study had shown that flat sizes have been growing smaller for the past 20 years, since 1994.

Also, Singaporeans work the longest hours in the world today.

Added together, as Singaporeans have lesser time at home today, they are less able to spend the time to cook.

Also, with the shrinking of the flats, flat buyers would thus be likely to want to opt for walls which can be removed to allow them to maximise the use of an even smaller space.

While the government uses mainstream media to propagate the "popularity" of such flats and the "open concept", mainstream media has also chosen to ignore why such realities have taken place.

Flat sizes have simply become too small and Singaporeans simply have to work too long hours to be able to spend as much time in the kitchen.

There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

Yes. Entirely possible that SLA made $3b and contractors $4b, netting a total profit of $5b to the economy.
