bigkev 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2008 Many thanks to all the feedback recieved about our hse design. we must say the hotly commented part of our hse is the mbr toilet, which is yeah....pretty open concept. actually, we have been wanting this resort theme for quite a while, we did alot of research on resort like toilets, but to our dismay, to achieve those kind of design effects, a lot of elaborate stuff are needed for the bath room, but hey the bath room aint that big. so to make it look big and relaxed, we decided to tear down all the walls of the toilet and use glass walls instead. this way the whole toilet will look spacious, unobstructed and peace....tranquility when taking shower our own home. of course to adapt to this design one must be really OPEN to the idea. Fortunately we both are. as of today, it is officially the second week of our reno. things are done pretty ok so far, of course there is nothing much to complain about the hacking. The workers have plastered the walls of the kitchen and the washing bay, lay the wall tiles and floor tiles of the common toilet, built the base of the kitchen cabinets, the fridge base. thats all we saw when we vistied the house earlier today. oh yes, and of course the new door frames for the rooms are up as well. will update with more pics when the reno progresses.

Hi BigKev! Your designs look superb. Love the open concept toilet. I have just gotten the keys to my house and am thinking along the same lines as you of a "resort style themed home" In fact, I have posted a new thread on that topic "a Resort style themed home in a Pasir Ris Executive Apartment?". Any good IDs or places and sources of info I can check out to find out more ideas on this theme? Thanks man...! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigkev 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2008 Hi Peacesom, Glad to know that you have gotten your keys and enroute to the next big step of renovating it. For us, having a resort theme was the first thing off our mind, as we are both busy people, but yet does not have enuff money in our pockets to travel to luxurious resorts every weekend to chill..... What we would recommend you to do are these 3 things: 1) What is the best resort you have been to? 2) How would you visualise your resort to be? 3) Compare 1 and 2. The above exercise lets you conceptualize what the house would look lilke. No need to rush into all the details about what each corner of the house needs, all u need is to ask yourself how bright, and cosy u want the house to be. For us, we wanted a light toned coloured house, to go with off white lights, that are easy on the eyes, minus the glares. A resort theme house need not be all woody, and balinese look alike. The beauty of a resort theme house, is the flexibility in it, whereby you can tweak certain aspects of it to suit yourself, not necessarily being a sterotype. Once you are clear of what you want, start researching on certain ideas by going to PAGE ONE at vivocity. Trust us, this place has all the books and pictures u need to browse through for free. We have even seen people carrying digital cameras, taking pictures of every single page of interior design books. We are not advocating on copy right, but hey these are certainly some money you can save on and splurge it in the house of yours. As for the interior designers or contractors recommendation, we must say it all depends on the chemistry you have with them over the chats and discussion. of course first and foremost they can fall within your budget. no point having an ID that say yes to everything of yours and at the end of the day, drops an atomic bomb on you. For us if the ID or contractor is sincere, they would bring you to current projects they have on their end and show you their workmanship. Of course, this is an entitlement and not an obligation. We tend to give more positive points to those ID that does it, just like my current one. We can recommend Fuse Concept (though price abit steep, vincent), Ideal House (ours are not the star studded crew of those mentioned in renotalk, ours are the calefare of Ideal House, but so far so good). So good luck!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tower 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2008 Living Room bigkev, Congrats on new home. It really looks nice and spacious. Definitely love youe MBR theme with open bathroom concept. One query to ask you - For the made to measure storage cabinets next to the living room windows, what material is being used? Can a human sit on the cabinets without damaging it? Is the opening from the top or the side? Most imptly, how much does it cost to make this as I intend to do one for my future home too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
