berry_surprise 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2009 Hi there Yes, this unit already comes with a recess area (5sqm). I did the sums and it will cost in the neighborhood of 4000. I was lucky that the common toilet can be linked to bedroom 1 and the storeroom had already been hacked. I'm not a big fan with WIW, I prefer everything to be covered. I already brought 1 contractor to see this flat (someone who is not featured here), he roughly quoted me 20-23k. Would u be interested to draw some designs for me (kitchen layout, room layout and any other layout). I have limited ideas so I really appreciate different styles and designs. Cheers.

berry_surprise 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2009 Hi berry, Welcome. Nice layout, do you have any theme in mind? hey i remember u. i came across ur designs on another blog and i admire ur works. i dont have any fanciful themes, just minimal stuffs for minimize cleaning and maximize space. i will take the bedroom 1 and jelly will take the mbr. i will also leave the bedroom 2 empty. the flooring is still good, broken marbles which was the IN thing in the 80s. I remembered seeing it in many of my relatives flats. i supposed the hacking will consists... 1) kitchen floor tiles 2) kitchen wall tiles 3) bathrooms floor tiles 4) bathrooms wall tiles I also have a high ceiling, at more than 3m. so my painting budget will go up. what do u think?

berry_surprise 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2010 You got a HDB penthouse , wonder can build a staircase up with another build up area to act as a study area not? For me, I think YES. For HDB, a big fat No. So no need to bother asking them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
user101 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2010 (edited) Wow! High ceiling, I like Don't create "another build up area", unless you ready need the space. High ceiling look majestic! Make full use of the ceiling, play with lighting. Create a "WOW" not a "EEH" effect. Edited January 3, 2010 by user101 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Create a "WOW" not a "EEH" effect. yup but i dont knw why some people just want to false ceiling everywhere and play with their cove n down lights. of course generate sales thus profits to them but what is the point here? anyway i intend to false ceiling the kitchen because it is really ugly "up there" and so are the toilets. In a way then I can do away with wall lights which looks like i'm in a old hospital in the 80s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaskel 2 Report post Posted January 3, 2010 Does the high ceiling apply to all the bedrooms too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
berry_surprise 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2010 this place reminds me of potong pasir when i went house hunting! they have slang high roof too!i was thinking if i buy that unit,i might consider doing a loft.hehe.. If u are not doing false ceiling,u need higher capacity for your air con to cool the entire room due to the high ceiling, are u aware of it? i thought of that too but the ex-owner installed normal ac in their 3 bedrooms and this block is not upgraded so the electric load is not the new one. so i also want to know how they deal with it.

berry_surprise 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2010 Does the high ceiling apply to all the bedrooms too? if u see...the kitchen is on the same side as MBR and BR 2. However the slanting side is opposite of living room, I mean to say the roof is triangular. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
