Receiving the keys to a new flat is usually a thrilling experience, but some residents in a new Build-To-Order (BTO) flat in Tampines weren't too pleased with what they saw. 

One of the residents took to TikTok to document her creepy-looking lift lobby at block 640B of Tampines GreenVines — complete with red tiles and red walls. 

The resident, who goes by Zelia2702, also included a picture of the block's mailboxes, which had the same eerie red tiles.

Zelia isn't the only one who found the lift lobby's interior design unacceptable.

Her video has garnered more than 100,000 views on TikTok, with several comments from residents who concur with her displeasure towards the design.

Another resident, surnamed Fu, told Zaobao he found it rather gloomy.

"In the day it looks like [it's] Chinese New Year, but at night it looks like a temple," remarked the 30-year-old engineer. 

This particular block has also attracted the attention of other residents in the estate. 

Yan, who owns a unit at 639B with the same colour scheme, told Zaobao that he and his wife went to take a look at the eerie block out of curiosity. 

"We'll only get our keys in end-March, but we came down to take a look after finding out that our block has the same colour scheme.

"When we come out of the lift it feels like our hair is standing, I hope that the authorities will change the design," shared the 32-year-old, who is self-employed. 

 

Wah, really look like those scene from Hong Kong ghost movie woh! 😱

Red lights feel like inside submarine during alert state.... Protect the night vision.

Don't like Red light then change to Green light?

How on earth would anyone approved such a color scheme for HDB? I can understand color coding the blocks but to this extreme. Wonder would the architect or people involved pain their home in this color?

  • Tampines GreenVines, a new BTO public housing project, went viral on social media for its red colour scheme in the common areas of some blocks of flats
  • Newly arrived homeowners have described the colour scheme as “creepy”, “spooky”, and “very unpleasant” although one resident said it was an "outstanding" design
  • In response to this, HDB has arranged to have the red lift lobbies partially repainted in white
  • Other blocks at the project have a yellow colour scheme and some still under construction are purplish-blue
