\nWith the success of fenceless neighbourhood in cities such as Copenhagen and Hong Kong, industry players expect to see more condominiums in Singapore sharing their courtyard and amenities to the public in the near future, reported the Straits Times.
\nThis comes as the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) encourage developers to explore more open designs.
\nThe city-state only has one fenceless condominium \u2013 One North Residences in Buona Vista.
\nIn fact, it has stipulated more visually porous designs in several tenders for residential developments. In the recent tender for the West Coast Vale site, for instance, the URA stated that the design for the development \u201cshall not be wall-like\u201d for areas facing other residential developments, but have a perimeter that is \u201csoftened through landscape treatment\u201d.
\nSome developers are already looking at using gentler barriers.
\nEl Development\u2019s Parc Riviera Condo in West Coast Vale will feature terraced vegetation instead of a fence on the side, fronting the park connector.
\n\u201cIt will look porous. People can see through. But to climb into the development, that would still be a challenge,\u201d said El Development managing director Lim Yew Soon.
\nChua Yang Liang, former urban planner at URA, believes that the push for fenceless condominiums is a \u201cstep in the right direction\u201d since a more \u201cvisually porous\u201d boundary makes the environment look more spacious.
\nBut with gated communities connoting exclusivity, security and safety and as long as there is still a price gap between public housing and condominiums, Professor Lily Kong, Singapore Management University\u2019s Provost and Lee Kong Chian Chair Professor of Social Sciences, does not expect the idea to take off easily.
