A Rare Layout, Renovated With Care

The HDB Multi-Generation (MG) flat is a discontinued, semi-attached layout — not the same as today's 3Gen flat. We plan around its two connected units so extended families share space on their own terms.

Summary

The HDB Multi-Generation (MG) flat is a discontinued, semi-attached layout piloted by HDB before 2015, pairing a smaller 2-room unit with a connecting larger flat for extended families. It is distinct from the current 3Gen flat, which is a single integrated unit with two ensuite master bedrooms and remains part of HDB's active BTO offering. Luxior Concept helps homeowners in legacy MG flats plan renovations across both connected units, balancing shared and private space, storage and long-term family comfort.
