HS = Household Shelter

This refers to the room with reinforced walls, floor, ceiling and door; it is designed to offer protection during an emergency. The structure must not be hacked or drilled.

The requirements are controlled by the authorities, and the respective building codes do evolve over time.

Feel free to contact me if you have more questions.

In the context of condo plans in Singapore, HS typically stands for Household Shelter. Here's what it signifies:

Dedicated Space: An HS denotes a designated room within the condo unit that is designed to provide a level of protection for residents during emergencies.
Reinforced Structure: Household shelters typically have reinforced walls, floor, ceiling, and door compared to regular rooms in the condo unit. This is to offer some degree of protection from falling debris or external threats.
Regulations: The specific requirements for household shelters are governed by building codes established by the authorities in Singapore. These codes may evolve over time.
Key Points about HS in Condo Plans:

Not a Living Space: Household shelters are not intended to be used as regular living spaces or storage areas.
Maintaining Functionality: It's important to avoid altering the structure of the HS or blocking the doorway as this can compromise its functionality during emergencies.
Management Guidelines: Some condo management guidelines might specify restrictions on modifications or storage within the household shelter.

In condo floor plans, “HS” stands for Household Shelter.

It’s a reinforced room designed to provide protection during emergencies like natural disasters or other hazards. In Singapore condos, the household shelter is a mandatory safety feature and usually doubles as a storage or utility room when not in use for emergencies.
