Industrial spaces and homes under one roof? JTC explores idea with architects
If built, such projects could make better use of land and bring jobs closer to homes.
Singapore's JTC Corporation is exploring the concept of integrating industrial spaces and homes under one roof, potentially bringing jobs closer to residents and making better use of land. The Singapore Institute of Architects is partnering with JTC to study the feasibility of combining industrial and residential uses in a single development.
The study, involving two Toa Payoh sites, will consider how to separate living, working, and making spaces while creating vibrant, inclusive communities. Engineers and architects will examine challenges such as noise, vibration, odour, emissions, and the need for zoning regulations to accommodate mixed-use developments.
