Hey everyone ,

Finally got our reno started after many setback and we are so excited and can’t wait the final handover. Thanks for everyone with your advice in the past (e.g GnM, Devilaz, Cokelight, HSH21, Odielim, henpu, diva79, and all those i forgot to mentioned…).

Here are some of the original photo before the reno. It’s an old (22yr) original 5 room place so everything in this 130sqm need to be replaced. So will cost a bit more than some of your new flats. Just submitted to HDB the request for approval for the hacking. Now in designing stage.

Will be using the best materials so that it will last a long long time and design will be Modern/Contemporary. Leave everything to be handled by my competent & excellent designer Irene from Edgeline Planner

Please do feel to comments and give feedbacks on anything. Hope ths will be useful for all those newbies in renotalk that are about to start or currently in the process of renovation.

Waiting for Odie & the rest...

Cheers

Wow, so classic. If I were you, I would retain the curved doorways.

Hi waileong,

Unfortunately the curve arches will be the first to go...not modern enough

I retained mine...part of the 1980s architecture..

Thanks for dropping by. Your house is very nice too.

Anyone can recommend which air-cond model to get?

One unit in the living room (quite large..see pic above) and one in master bedroom and another in kids bedroom. Will only used when necessary or when guest comes as most often will be useing standing fan.

Is Mitsubishi system 03 unit (invertor) - Model: MXY-4A28VA/MSXY-GA26VA (x1) and MSXY-GA10VA (x2)...any good ? Anyone using this model?

How about Toshiba system 03 unit (invertor) - Model: RAS-4M30YACV / RAS-M22NKCV (x1) and RAS-M10NKCV (x2) . Is this model good?

Thanks for your comments..

Looking forward for the full makeover of your new house.

Hi Lifestyle, waiting to see ur modern concept.

Mine is Mitsubishi heavy industry (Invertor), not sure abt the model so far performance is good. Whereas whether save electricity nt sure cos nothing to compare. !!

But do take note of their materials given by ur air con contractore such as hw many inch of pipes, the brand of the insulator etc. cos if the installation is nt good it may leak in future.

Hey Cantona7,

Thanks for the info on air-cond. It is very helpful

The modern concept is coming along very nicely !! from the look of the planning & initial design.
