An Executive Maisonette In The Northeast

Recommended Posts

This is a log of renovations done to a 24 year old flat in Northeast Singapore. The before-and-after photos give a general idea of the condition of the flat and its eventual outcome. As we were on a budget, we avoided engaging an ID, some of the companies we approached were ID firms but we told them we did not need design input from them as we already had some things in mind. Hence there was generally no 3D drawings except for the kitchen layout.

Hi Cleong,

I like the way your house is done up! :) And thanks for sharing the pictures!

I just joined renotalk because we just bought an EM in the North and am really excited about it. Our concern is budget as well and we've been pondering if we should get an ID or a contracter to help us with it esp since $$ is a concern.

Would you mind sharing the contracter/ID that you got and the budget you spent? We'll be getting our keys by April this year.

Finally got around to taken some "lived in" photographs of my apartment, three months since we moved in :) I only had time and energy to take photos of the ground floor though.

wow your place looks for neat and clean!! like the uncluttedness..did u hv a lot of storage?? your kitchen looks good too!! envy so many cabinets!!

I have storage under the staircase, in the utility room, and also at the balcony. But more importantly we try not to keep clutter such as carton boxes of electronic products and such. Our fortnightly recycling bag is always full. I think my kitchen's configured pretty traditionally, where there's no open shelves or glass doors for practical reasons. Its not as contemporary as what an ID firm may produce, but it does the job and we're happy with the work area available as well as the storage spaces.

it's very well done, i think the lived in pictures look better than the just after-reno pictures!

especially like the kitchen tiles and stair case railing. thanks so much for sharing.
