Homes delivered via courier - in flat packs
DIY modular housing - a thriving business for some startups - may pop up in S'pore one day
Singapore
ORDER your homes online, and have them delivered to you in IKEA-style flat packs. Such a housing model may well come to Singapore one day.
Already, such complete "prefab" houses - as opposed to just prefab walls and rooms - have been popularised by San Francisco-based startup Avava Systems, which in August unveiled Britespace, its range of high-end, flat-pack homes that come with a living area, kitchen, bathroom and elegant wood finishes. The homes range from 264 to 480 square feet and cost no more than US$225,000.
