The void deck brings the community together through the open ground floor of HDB blocks, a ubiquitous part of the Singapore neighbourhood. Community cats are the most common animals which roam the neighbourhood and often make the void decks their homes. The chess game guidelines depicted in the center of the stool is a common design found on the community tables in the void decks. The common users of the void deck – the cats, the cat feeders, the elderly chess game players and the passers-by are depicted on the seat of the stool, showcasing an inclusive society which the void deck aims to gather. One of the feeders offers a piece of fish to the cat, an act of kindness representative of the kampung spirit.
