[Junkay 1]

wow very impressive. u macham can be a interior designer liao..haha

There have been times when i did think i should change a career and pursue this hobby seriously. Anyone knows of a short course that i can take up? Or anyone knows what kind of software they are using cos theirs are definately more presentable to the eye with lighting effects and 3D images. Absolutely dreamy!

If anyone wishes to showcase their creativity too please feel free to hijack this thread too. Sometimes i think i am the only weirdo having this crazy hobby of mine.

Next up will be applefreaks house! HAHAHA Pity the study room has got that big pillar beside the balcony if not fwah you might just have the biggest living room in HDB reno!

but got the scrap the plan coz that means more money

Presenting Apple Freak's pimped up hoochie hoochie party pound.

Floor plan

Two things I remember reading from Apple freaks blog. Hooch and cats. HAhaah so i turned her place into a mini booze factory. I wished I could add effects to the design to illustrate better but here it is

Entrance. A cordoned off area for smelly sneakers and also to add to the effect of seperation of living room

Living area - carpets carpets and more carpets

Master bedroom

Master and bedroom 2 combined. Entering the bedroom, you are greeted by a small pond and greenery. Raised platform for the sleeping area, seperated by sliding doors.

Cats - its their world too!

Small playing area for her cats. Built near the window for venilation.

Simple dining area, empty wall is a canvas for pratically anything. You can add a buffet table and a drawing perhaps.

Kitchen: Dug a hole beside the fridge as a dry area for making party snacks or sandwiches.

Toilets - simple mosaic tiles, if you prefer monochromatic you can change the wood frame into black laminates.

Anymore unique floor plans?

Hi Gents and Gentles

One post wonder : Thanks for the floorplan. That is indeed one tough nut to crack. I have, including yours, 3 floorplans all kindly contributed by the forummers here. I will start on my favourite kind of flat first (sorry).

KrisieTong : Have you tried the sketchup video tutorial? I just tried every button and see what it could do and that is how I started using it to sketch. After a while, its just about which step first to use in order to create the kind of design you want. There are like freaks on the internet that does huge iconic buildings like museum. Now that is scary! But hey thanks for the kind words.

L.Lim : Your 3 room is unique. I am intrigued by it. Will get on it ASAP.

Bonkitty : Sorry I cant help hacking walls.

Cheers to all

Lynn emailed me her floorplan sometime last week and I started working on it last Fri. This is one tricky floor plan to work with. I shifted the dining area countless times until i surrended to brain cramp. She mentioned that it was an EA split into one 3 room and one 2 room. She allowed free play but with one request of not using laminates as she has dogs. So here it is.

Floor plan

Overview

On entering, the living room on the left. Raised carpet platform with lots and lots of cushions and custom made back rests. It didnt feel right putting a couch there. Its more of an interacting corner for conversations. A tv is an escape from conversations, hence little interaction. Warm soft lighting is a must.

Of course there will be a bar area. I am not a football fan, but I know there are tons out there. And they cant seem to sit still for too long. Below the TV is where the stock pile of drinks are.

This might seem small but it can sit 6 slim shadys or 4 big macs. A picture or mirror will add to detail and a conversation piece.

Kitchen : Seriously, this kitchen is not made for cooking up a storm. I asked the owner if she cooks heavy or just ham and eggs. Ham and eggs it is. On the left is the area for the washing machine, hidden from view.

My favourite area : Master bedroom

Two bedrooms into one as usual. Main bedroon serves as a walkin wardrobe with a reading/working area.

Overview

Entrance : On the left is a raised entrance to the bedroom. It makes it slightly more dramatic and somehow grander I feel. The day bed u see directly in front is a reading corner. It has a custom made swivel shelf so that you can swing out the comp monitor if you need to do some research. I know it might prove claustrophobic, hence its placed beside the bay window.

The bed is also on a another raised platform. Beside is a storage unit.

Overview of wardrobe, reading corner and main bathroom

main bathroom changed into a dressing room for him and her. Beside is another storage unit.

Shower room.

Simple, elegant with built in wall storage. The additional basin is for guests.

Hi Junkay,

I'm lynn here, aka, milnnyl. I'm really impressed with your design.

My favourite is actually the bedroom, especially the raised platform with sliding wooden doors linking to the room. It really gives a more dramatic and grander look. You can say that it's my dream bedroom!

We think alike too, no sofa for the living room area, instead, we thought of throwing a few cushions as it looks more cosy. The idea of having a raised carpet platform truly adds coziness to the area. (Hmm ...I'm contemplating now.. should we? Cos in the very first place we wanted to have it at the living area, but due to my dogs, we throw out the idea.)

As for the custom made swivel shelf, I'm really in awed by it. I keep reminding myself, carpentry cost alot of money!

I hereby sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart for the design you've done for us. I truly like it very much.

Hi Lynn

I am very very happy that u like it that much. This is what drives me on actually, comforting the narcissistic side of me HAHHA. But u no like the dresser toilet, bar area?!!! And the brain cramping dining area????!!! Just kidding yeah?

The swivel shelf shouldnt cost that much I sincerely believe, as its as easy as adding a screw between 2 planks. If your ID decides to up the cost because its too difficult to do, then try any carpenter to add on after you do ur wardrobe. The swivel shelf is just for laziness sake too, I mean you could still plonk the monitor on the shelf, and you shift a bit when you want to use it. hee hee

I am in fear of your dog. Are you afraid that he would scratch the carpet off the platform? The platform idea actually is meant to demarkate the area properly, there are other ways to do it. You could buy a low slim shelf and place it by the entrance thereby securing the area so to speak. But a platform is somewhat softer than tile, my butt can atest to that. hahaha

But yay yay yay you like my idea.

Good luck on the coming reno

Darren

P/S Am i invited to your house warming? Thats my end of the deal to everyone that ask me to sketch. Heehee

ha..ha.. Darren, you sound so excited. I've not even got my keys yet. Most probably would be collecting end of next month. That's really long right? Imagine we seleceted the flat in Feb 2007 and to date we've waited 9 months for it!

I've already found a contractor to do up the place. We'll be using certain areas of your design as well. If it had been done up, you'll be the first to be invited. !!

Lynn

Yeah I am just happy that someone would adopt some of my ideas. Will be waiting for your kind invite then. Good luck!

Cheers

Buangkok 4 room flat. Provided by forummer Anthea. Owner requested simple minimalistic theme, doesnt mind hacking walls, and wants all to be inside the room eg tv, comp, wiw... basically a mini earth minus the fridge. I guess I got carried away with the new things I learnt on sketchup. Like I could mimick any kind of colour and material with a jpeg image. And thereby expanding the choices that I have with so called interior decoration.

Anyways featuring buangkok 4 rm

Floor plan

Overview

Living and dining room

Idea of interchangeability between dining and living. Dining area somehow looks like a living area but it can feed lots of people comfortably. Living area is a queen size dimension silk satin low bed and head rest which is a back rest for diners.

Kitchen

Is there such thing as modern zen?

Main event - the master bedroom

As usual, combi combi and more combi of rooms. Length of the room is heightened by the benches along the windows. Silk and satin rules the day for the bed.

Media corner : Combi of TV and comp monitor can be done these days. Computer is kept in the benches. Leather couch will add to the edgy feel of the room.

Wardrobe

Anthea said something like she is one who likes to keep her own things to herself very much so For him and For her wardrobe spaces

Scurb down areas

Overview of master

Thats all folks. Feel free to comment and to send me your unique floor plans ok?

Regards

again the floorplan

[Junkay 1]

oh yeah I forgot one important design of the place. Its called the peekaboo area. The glass wall serves as a lighting point also from the master. Dimly lit, it adds a glow from the wall into the walk way to the master, and also a light at night when u get the munchies and are too **** lazy to find a light switch.

Its also pervocative as it offers visitors a peek into the master, arousing interest.

Thats really all I think
