Nest In The West

Recommended Posts

Been lurking in Renotalk for the longest time ever and finally we have something to contribute to the community! :D

Our nest is a SOBF in Casa Clementi after failing 7-8 times of BTO applications ^^; It came with a hefty price tag but we're still glad to have a home of our own right now.

Bay windows for all rooms! :good:

Our common toilet is pretty unique; you can access it via the service yard (bi-fold door) or hallway (no door!) and comes with partitions for the shower and WC respectively. Feels like a kopitiam/shopping centre washroom! We plan to keep the layout but overlay the wall tiles and change the middle partition to frosted glass.

Keys were collected in early Feb and renovation has just began! Our ID is William from SDS. Their quotes are indeed not the cheapest around, but we chose him because of the 5-year warranty and good chemistry during our initial meetings. Crossing fingers!

Is this a new BTO? As I know, you are not allowed to hack any walls for new BTOs. So, can't do open concept kitchen liao.... Paiseh, seems only toilet wall and floor tiles.

I must say, the size of the room is pretty decent if this is a new BTO.

@beluga: It's 100sqm, with internal floor area of 92sqm.

@Takeyu: Did you keep the layout of the common toilet? Seems that not many like it... :unsure:

Here's some of our 3D drawings received a couple of days ago. Satisfied so far! Can't wait to see the final product! :sport-smiley-004:

Anyone knows where we can get identical roman blinds as shown on the drawings? I think they fit nicely into our home :)
