Hi, I am new to this forum.

In need of some feedback here, how would you attempt to manage the "toilet-in-kitchen" scenario :

I am concerned about :

1) Smell and Sound from toilet especially when entertaining guests

2) Siting of stove, sink and fridge because of the toilet

Any help is appreciated, and many Gongxi Fatt Choy in advance ^^

For ur case it either the toilet door facing the dinning room or kitchen, I don thunk its an issue as most hdb flats are like that. Arrangement of the fittings is not a problem.

Thanks Jeff23. Anyway, I have discovered other issues in the mean time, and unfortunately, had to forfeit my 1k for this flat.

I will be sure to avoid such a layout, seems common but avoidable.

Good luck in finding a flat of ur choice

Dear Mister,

Very interesting and it is definitely not a typical HDB layout.

Mind i ask if it is some old private apartments, commonly seen in areas like yio chu kang or bukit timah?

Next, the layout of toilet in your kitchen is rather awkward. But rest assured that smell and sound will not be a huge issue in this flat.

Reason being is that the door is facing the kitchen, rather than the living area.

There is a solution where you can either keep the toilet window open at all times, when it is vacant. Of course when someone need to use the toilet, close the window for privacy.

Another method is to install the fan outlet, which costs less than one hundred dollars, that you commonly seen in public toilets.

As for the location of stove, you can plan it nearer to the window, below the clothes hanging area. The fridge can be placed beside the household shelter door. The sink can be between the two mentioned area.

It is not the end of the world. There can be possibilities explored. Don't worry.
