This is the floor layout I plan to have.... it is revolved around what I need and do in my living space.

It is indeed 63sq m. Hence i hv to think very carefully my layout. I decide to: 1) hack down bedroom 01's wall to join the living room. (Bye bye, guest room) 2) Combine two toilets into one, with separate dry and wet areas. (a huge challenge)

More pics to come....

Other photos before a major and much needed overhaul...

After the ex-owner moved out, it looks like these: Condition is rather primitive but not near nightmarish. Anyway, everything has to go. The ex-owner had NOT done a second renovation during their 20+ years of staying. What you see is what it was like when they moved in 20 years ago.... basic and functional, perhaps a luxury or envy back then.

The feel I wanna achieve is: cozy, intimate, "me", relaxed and modern. No need to have too much empty space unless it is for wrestling (LOL). These pics look good, so the question is how close to them will my design gonna look? Need to be realistic, I tell myself. The mood photos are to inspire only....

To me, wood is important. In fact natural or natural looking material is important. It feels earthy and humane. Natural material can be stone, sand, granite, wood, metals, wool and fabrics. Hence, i m gonna hv a laminated floor that bounces light off, and stone-like tiles on floor and walls in my bathroom and kitchen. Walls will be grey and I am talking abt many choices of grey from elephant grey to canadian sky, to granite and slate, and charcoal and pewter... the list goes on. Cos there are many types of grey (bewildering to the common eyes), I am gonna divide them into cool grey and warm grey, both will be used.

Other inspirations that I need: I drew my inspiration from clean lines, non-ornate design, simple shape and form, strong but neutral colors. contemporary feel with the focus on present, not future nor past. Being in the creative industry helps a lot for me. My motto; things don't have to be expensive to look good. Mix and match and the result might be a pleasant surprise. My humble place will have a rather strong color visibility that is hard to miss. No white and off-white, no beige and cream. Gray is the new beige.

My area is in the City fringe, near Rangoon road, an eclectic district with upcoming development.

Hi there Yr house is tastefully done up by Mr K. Looks good and got a designer's touch. Can u pm me his quotation if there's alright w u? First time reno, hence i know nothing abt cost. hope there's a good reference. Tks

Pls PM best price..tks -
I asked them for a site survey and after that we can proceed to discuss the finer details of the design. But they ignore my request, giving no reason whether they can or cannot come down. So much so for preliminary customer service. If u ignore potential customer knocking at yr door, then business will go elsewhere. If u cant make it to the appointment, next course of action is to ask for another date and not ignore the customer without replying. So there u go, here's my feedback.

Hdb Floorplans: The Best (And Worst) Layouts In Public Housing
Astarz replied to PublicLife's topic in Reno t-Blog Chat
publiclife, do u hv floor plan for 4-room & 5-room point block of Rowell Court. It is famous for its pyramidal roof. Look at the roof -
the orange tiles make it look very old fashioned and ugly...
-
m i dont understand why HDB of all vanity top chooses this design. the protruding round part of the basin just looks odd, and not streamlined with the str8 line. I hv no issue with the color. It is a pity we hv to remove it but it looks like a must.
-
yes, will see the base of the dowlight. i dont mind. giving an industrial look. it is like a can or tub hanging on the ceiling. hence no false ceiling is needed. some people will think that is protruding and ugly... i believe u call that a flush mount, flush with the ceiling n mount on it...no gap.

Bravo. this is what i wanna see, being unconventional. yr L-shape track fits perfectly in yr kitchen. love yr idea n boldness. thumbs up up
