DSA 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) DSA looking at system 3 only?Yea, no point installing a FCU in the living room since mine enjoys some wind from the direction to the MRT track so won't be using the FCU much. Besides the area is rather large: 3.45 m x 5.2 m + 4.8 m + 3.6 m = 26.823 m² which requires more than 12551.79594 BTU, probably 16k BTU of cooling capacity as there's extensive heat gain from the bay windows & the TV. Also, running trunking to the living area mars the look coz I'm not going for false ceiling or cornices that can hide the trunking. If it gets too hot, just run into the bedroom for coolness or enjoy a cold shower. Will be going to Beng Tuan, OM, Morris, Defu, Mesin nxt time rd...Do make a search on RenoTalk forums for Beng Tuan - you'll be surprised by the ferocity of some of the comments.

Shor 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2008 Welcome Shor! I'm also in the same block 5rm like you & lovelee, just gotten keys too.....(Big Orange, please help to bold it as well :-) thank you) Similarly, the placement of dining table is a headache for me too, still pending for a good layout from the IDs. And the positioning of sofa is another problem too, how far do you all intend to place it away from the TV? Meanwhile, spend more time shopping while GSS is still on! Thanks everyone Hi lazurite & lovelee, I'm going to position the sofa at the dotted line between the living and study rm in the floor plan. Behind my sofa will be my bar counter. As for the dinning table, I plan to seal up the existing kitchen entrance and hack away the balance wall between the living & kitchen (with PE endosement). Then i can place the dinning table just infront of the "existing kitchen entrance" (which is a seal up wall). This 5rm layout really giving us a headache. Have you all appointed a ID and which company? Anyone engage a Feng Shui Master and how much? (haha I want to ensure the feng shui before doing anything) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shor, i am engaging a fengshui master for my new home. His name is David Tong, can check out his website at http://www.cmgconsulting.com.sg/ My hubby is the one liaising with him, but i met up with him once, pretty nice guy. He mentioned that fengshui is not about placing those ornaments ard ur hse, but about harnessing the good Qi and identifying your wealth spot. I guess this is impt because i've seen some house in weird colour combi becoz their FSM told them so.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(haha I want to ensure the feng shui before doing anything) I'm from 5-room too and I am placing my dinning table right at the proposed study room shown in our floor plan. Sofa will be right after that and TV on the long wall. I have tried many combination and think this way is the only way that I feel there is no obstructions. Used to think that dinning table will be placed right outside the kitchen but realise that place is so small that I would have to tuck in my dinning chairs to walk out from kitchen, very accident prone. Another place that i have considered is outside the bomb shelter but unfortunately, I am building a shoe cabinet right in front of the shelter to cammoflage and thus eating beside my shoes doesn't make sense.

Hi Bubbly, your idea is good also, however I require a bar counter that why have to think other ideas. Hi everyone, we are like living in a condominium with a mall next to it soon, sport facilities at the other side, a community center opposite & etc, this place is value more than a condominium and yet we are paying so much lower than a condominium. With the active forum participation of Bedok Central owners, this indeed evolves a sense of neighbourliness at the new town. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you intending to go for ceiling fan in living? I'm also going for the 'bare' look with regards to the ceiling and thinking if I should have a ceiling fan with lights for the living.
