Hi everyone I was reading a website article about studio apartment design when it suddenly occurred to me that it is a HDB 2-room BTO (even though this is not stated anywhere).

Very interesting how each of the different zones have been sectioned off, and how top hung cabinets are installed in lieu of a false ceiling to achieve both downlights and additional storage.

Hi I have the choice of 2 different layout for my 2 room Type 2 BTO at Punggol.

One is at Cove which is more rectangular 

The other is at Woods which is more squarish 

Which will you guys choose, and why?

Need more views on the selection.

Thank you.

I will pick the first one too.. Cause my BTO (Eastcreek) also about the same setting.. Hahaha.. Which is coming in Q4 2019. ?

Actually I have thought of swapping the living room and bedroom b4... then i can get my queen size bed and big wardrobe and can convert the bedroom to a big walk in wardrobe.  luxurious leh! lol!

Then why never leh?!! Aiya...

lol, cos think if got visitors, not very nice so still fall back to the conventional type lor...

if given a chance I will do the switch. cos not really that many visitors, other than the initial house warming. So ownself comfort more important.

Plan is to put tv at the bombshelter wall, where the fish tank is now.  

Hi,

My layout is quite similar to yours and i have placed the tv against bombshelter wall like what you have intended.

One thing to note about this placement is the reflection from the window on your tv during daytime. I tend to close my windows blind and switch on living room lights when i watch tv during daytime.

Regarding buying from taobao, you might need to take note of shipping cost for heavy items and you might not have time to return and exchange in case of faulty items that required installation. So reviews, materials and measurements accuracy are very very important.

I've made quite alot of purchases from taobao for my reno and only 2 items have issues (one with incorrect model and the other with incorrect size). Thank goodness the 2 items are relatively cheap and i've managed to resolve by spending a little bit more to buy from local shops. 

Wow, so many new members...and most of them starting/started renovation.... Envy dao~~
