CraB 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2008 In the beginning, before renovations started... We patiently waited for the towers to rise... Finally they did! Nice to see my workers hard at work on my unit (at least 11 of them)... Next up, our shack... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

groovygenie 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2008 Wow! Those are amazing photos, Mr Crab! THanks for sharing, personally, i didn't even notice the construction until gf said we should try for the new TPY flats. And first time i saw the block, it was already built, left 79E to finish. Now we know 79C won the race to the top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yokine9a 1 Report post Posted June 25, 2008 Spam chop Finally got to see pix of how those 79X blocks were being built. When I left S'pore, the old 79 block was still there leh. But when I came back end last yr, 5 giant blocks stood there greeting me "welcome home" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CraB 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2008 Now we know 79C won the race to the top Actually 79C started first (followed by D, E, B &/or A), so winning the race to the top doesn't count! Pics were also meant as a visual treat for all TPYers You could also imagine the size of the rooms (in 79A; 4th photo, right below), with the workers in it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BunBun 5 Report post Posted June 25, 2008 What a visual treat of the buildings under construction. The 4th pic in your 2nd post is quite awesome in a sense that it looks very tall among the buildings in the background. I almost had a fleeting impression, "is that a condo building" Anyway your floorplan reminds me of the layout of HDB's habitat 4 room show flat 'cos of the toilets along the passageway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CraB 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2008 ... the colour scheme for the bathrooms are ok maybe the tiles are old school... Honestly I would have preferred white tiles with minimal 'patterns'....but anyway these tiles have now been laid over....pics of that to come later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
