VKJD 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2008 HI Friends I am considering to hunt for a rooftop mansionette which I know is kind of rare in Singapore. But before we discuss on how rare they are I would like to ask a few questions if there are current owners or friends who have had experience in this area. I am curious if the layout of the livable area is the same as normal executive mansionette and the extra space is the front patio. i.e will the MBR or hall be bigger Also are there any issues with leaking roofs and very hot ceiling since the unit will be the topmost. Are there any restrictions on what I can build and plant on the patio for instance I would like to build a balinese trellis and some medium height plants to create some tropical look. The main reason why I like penthouse is I like the space in order to hold gatherings (in evenings ) and as well as having unrestricted airflow. (hope my assumption is right) If I would to go for a private penthouse, the cost will be likely above 1m. Anyway I hope to hear comments on the pros and cons of rooftop mansionettes. Many Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Many Thanks Currently living in one. "Also are there any issues with leaking roofs and very hot ceiling since the unit will be the topmost." Not much heat since insulation is pretty good. "The main reason why I like penthouse is I like the space in order to hold gatherings (in evenings )" The living room is directly on top of the unit below's bedroom (MBR most likely). Noise might be an issue to your neighbor downstairs. Hope this helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
