Hi Kelvin

Great design!

Noticed you hid all your pipes within the wall of shower wall.

Thought HDB does not allow that?

How much did you target to spend on your renovation as it seems very major works going on there.

Hi strawberry, thanks for dropping by!

For the toilets, we had extensive alterations to it. We boxed up the side walls and also put in extra wall panels to "conceal" some of the water pipes. Which of course, makes our toilet abit smaller.

As of now, the renovation costs add up to slightly more than $50k... hopefully the VOs don't burst our budget by too much.

box up the side walls and pipes?

do you have pictures to show .... not sure what you mean.....
