after scouting for a new hse with my bf for so long, we have decided to buy over my dad's hse (which i am currently staying)...a major reno will be required as i hate the type of marble that's used as the flooring currently. A qns, wad do u do with a balcony (beside the kitchen) which is squarish besides putting in a washing machine and hanging clothes?Its rather big though

Unrealised paper profits also good, lah. At least when you have an option to sell, you gain. When you sit on unrealised loss you feel really lousy. All that monthly sacrifice down the drain. Really heart pain.

While quite true, only paper money. A man needed some dream to live on. At least all the members here are at least 0.5 millionare.

Got dream is good. toto buying is also a dream. May everybody's dream come true.

Nice try. I see in the centre there is a lift servicing. Technically feasible or not? Good to see them in 3D format. Do let the members knows can internal lift be build or approved as we may grow old and the design seems to look great and suit our future needs! Great job

Dear TPY,

The center bit was our maid's "Harry Potter" room. Wanted to extend it to the second floor for aesthetic reasons and to make the room appear more spacious. Hopefully won't be needing approval.

Hacking of MBR walls to create a window'door will require PE and permit. Patrick is really busy and has not gotten back regarding the quotes. Will still probably go with him. I think he is so busy that we will have to so our own shopping around for tiles etc. Hopefully, he will be able to install them.

Oh I see, the potter's room. The air ventilation may be an issue, as I can see only inlet door and no outlet windows.

Fishpond,

Think the potter's room makes the way to the living room a little narrow, cramped and dark. Agree with TPY about the poor ventilation.

i'm also trying out the designs for fun using my floorplan but still struggling

[fishpond 0]

There should be ventilation at the top and at the side as well. Trying to do a lantern effect (semi transparent PVC/polycarbonate/acryic/just plastic covering 2 sides facing the stairs so that light can be seen through. The other 2 sides will be gympsum boards. The inner frames facing the stairs should be wood with some oriental or other designs to act as silhoutte. Tried to illustrate it but not easy.

Another view. The doors are louvers for ventilation

Plans for upper floors
