    just wondering, if you are planning to shift the kitchen into living room, then what will u put in your original kitchen? since all kitchen cabinets are already in the living room.

    if you dont mind the small space, u can put the dry kitchen in living room. BUT, nowadays, the BTO flat are so small, it is really not a good idea to put it this way. it may look nice for a couple of years, but once you have your family living together e.g. kids, elders, it is really not feasible.

    Thanks for the advise.I do, however, have other plans of my own ;)

    So u mean is that this is actual just a matter of good interior design and planning, and not so much of a HDB regulation roadblock?

    Hi,

    Just wondering if it's easy to build a dry kitchen in the HDB living room, similar to a condo studio unit where the kitchen is located at the entrance.

    I googled online, and only managed to find one example of a HDB flat where the ID shifted the kitchen into the living room. Minus the ugly pipes running along the walls, I'm trying to see if there are potential problems, issues.

    Do we need HDB approval, if it's just a simple case of running the fresh water and waste water pipes into the living room? If needed, do you think it'll be a straightforward approval,or are there other considerations?

    Few yrs back, while I looking for resale house. I come across a unit which bought over the outside recess area.

    The agent told us.. the owner cannot fence it up b'coz the cleaner still hv to clean that area. and due to the recess area, the selling price is higher.

    Long story short, we not interested on that recess area since cannot fence.. 

    Whether HDB will approve or not.

    No one will know. Only after you buy that unit, then apply, then will know approve or not

    You cannot buy the space under the following conditions:

    • If your flat is built after 1996 or under a Design, Build and Sell Scheme (DBSS) project.

    Thanks for ur inputs. Is the example of the recess area similar to mine?

    Hi,

    I am looking for a resale flat, and had found one unit I'm interested in. I'm looking to purchase the recess area long the corridor. But the problem is this: this area is not directly outside my door, but it's outside the living and bedroom windows. Please refer to the attached picture.

    I have seen people putting all sorts of things along this recess area. The reason I'm thinking of buying this area is for additional privacy as I can fence up this area for the extra gap between the windows. The corridor is very wide so even if I fence it up, the walkway has still enough space.

    Do you guys think whether HDB will approve?
