Re-Defining Compact Living: The HDB Space Imperative
Singapore’s HDB flats demand radical space efficiency. At MRETTY, we engineer compact HDB solutions that defy spatial limitations—transforming 85m² units into fluid, multi-zoned sanctuaries. Our designs merge Swiss precision with tropical resilience, using ENF-grade OSB panels (formaldehyde ≤0.025mg/m³) and aerospace aluminium honeycomb cores to create structures 60% lighter yet 200% stronger than conventional particleboard. Every hinge, joint, and panel is fortified against Singapore’s 85% humidity, ensuring decade-long durability without compromise.
The MRETTY Compact Blueprint: 5 Steps to Spatial Liberation
1. Biomechanical Space Audits
We laser-scan your HDB’s airflow and movement patterns, aligning with HDB’s PLH model regulations. Long-tail focus: Customized Storage Solutions for HDB Families.
2. Climate-Engineered Material Selection
- 25mm ENF OSB panels with J-groove detailing for warp-free cabinetry
- Hidden hydraulic hinges (300,000-cycle rating) enabling silent fold-down systems
- E0-certified 5-layer coating (5 primers + 3 topcoats) resisting mold and scratches
3. Immersive 3D Simulation
Visualize compact HDB layouts via photorealistic renders, adjusting flow before installation.
4. Zero-Impact Installation
Full-floor membrane protection and modular assembly ensure HDB-compliant, dust-free execution.
5. Dual-Function Styling
AI-generated mood boards merge aesthetics with functionality—e.g., fold-out desks doubling as art displays.
Why MRETTY Outperforms: The Compact Technology Divide
| Feature | MRETTY | Standard Brands |
|---|---|---|
| Structural Core | Aerospace aluminium honeycomb (0.8g/cm³) | Solid wood/MDF |
| Climate Resistance | Hydrophobic edge seals + E0 coating | Single-layer varnish |
| Space Efficiency | Custom foldable systems (e.g., domino hob integration) | Fixed layouts |
| Material Safety | ENF OSB (≤0.025mg/m³ formaldehyde) | E1/E2 boards (≤0.1mg/m³) |
| Design Precision | 3D BIM + physical mockups | 2D CAD sketches |

Singapore-Specific Innovations
1. Humidity Defense System
Micro-gaskets seal all joints, proven in Pasir Ris coastal trials to resist warping 300% longer than competitors.
2. PLH-Compliance Engineering
All designs align with HDB’s 10-year occupancy rules and BCA fire codes, using FSC-certified woods and non-combustible aluminium cores.
3. Community-Centric Zoning
For GCB landed properties, we design convertible banquet walls and under-stair libraries with ventilated ENF shelving.
