Singapore HDB Stories: Taman Jurong's Lego Corner + Yishun's Superhero Library | On The Red Dot

This episode features three blocks with unique community spaces.

At Block 702 Bedok Reservoir Road, residents have turned their resident’s corner into a mini-kampong – organising events from food distribution to free haircuts to massive potluck sessions.

Then at Block 336 in Tah Ching Road, 56-year-old Mr Lee has transformed the void deck into a flexible workshop space with Lego-inspired furniture.  Here, residents can unleash their creativity through brick art and get to know their neighbours.

Finally at Block 436 Yishun Ave 11, Mr Chia converted a measly box of books to a shared space with more than 5 shelves full of reading material. It is now the largest community library at a HDB Block. The whole place was started with zero dollars – all the books are donated, and furniture are upcycled by Mr Chia and his woodworking volunteers.
