Hi,
I personally feel that the kitchen WC is too small? Anyone here has plan to
convert it to other use?
It's better to write in early before they start to build your unit.:D
For my previous apt, my neighbour requested the developer to convert the kitchen WC into a wet kitchen without additional cost. By the time we sent in our request, our level already built up and to re-configure the kitchen, we need to top up additional cash.
can convert into a place to put washing machine...

yes...that's what my friend did to his Grosvenor view condo. He asked the contractor to remove the toilet bowl and put his washing machine there. He also fixed some nice storage shelves.
BUT the removed toilet bowl is now sitting inside his Home Shelter. :D
Just in case if he sell his apt, the buyer may want him to fix it back.

Just curious, if we do away with the WC in the kitchen, will they still lay the toilet tiles or will it be the kitchen tiles?
Also they will not fix the door and sink ? OR must we instruct them exactly what we want them to do?
Last question, the PUB bill takes into account the number of WCs we have per unit. Any difference if it is removed at developer stage or by ourselves?

that must be a old condo ?
cos i think for new condo ..they dont allow electrical appliances in the toilet ..
make sure you check before you do it .. i think most contractor would advise against it ..
Shld be almost the same time as Starville...abt 3 years old.

For my friend's case, the developer sticked to the toilet tiles...the sink still there.
For my previous apt, the developer laid the same tiles as kitchen. Nicer.
PUB will still takes into the account of the WC.

Bro, I think u got it partially correct....here's the reply from HDB which i email them a couple of mths back....but since then the $58k has taken effect.....
We refer to your email below.
We understand that you and your spouse have purchased a HDB flat with both of your CPF savings and wish to purchase a private property.
Please note that the use of your CPF savings for this second property will be impacted by the Multiple Property (MP) rule. Under this rule, if you already own a property bought with your CPF savings and wish to buy a second/subsequent property, from 1 July 2006, you will only be able to do so after setting aside half the prevailing Minimum Sum in your CPF accounts individually. This sum can be set aside with your savings in the Ordinary Account (OA) and Special Account (SA), including amounts withdrawn under the CPF Investment Scheme-SA.
For your information, the prevailing Minimum Sum is $106,000 and half the prevailing Minimum Sum is $53,000. The amount of OA savings available for use towards the second/subsequent property would be the net amount of OA savings in excess of half the prevailing Minimum Sum. Please note that the Minimum Sum changes in July each year. Your withdrawals for the second/subsequent property will be stopped at any time if you are unable to set aside half the prevailing Minimum Sum.
Please note that the total CPF withdrawals for the second property will be capped at the Valuation Limit (VL) for properties with at least 60 years of lease. The VL refers to the lower of the property purchase price and the market valuation price at the time of purchase.
If you and your spouse intend to sell your current HDB flat, we will give you a grace period of six months to sell your HDB flat. During this period, both of you can use the full available balance in your CPF Ordinary Accounts for your new property. Both of you do not need to set aside half the prevailing Minimum Sum. Once the grace period is up, both of you should either own only one property, or satisfy half the prevailing Minimum Sum requirement if both of you own more than one property. If half the prevailing Minimum Sum requirement is not met, the Board will stop further withdrawals for the second property.
The grace period is given as follows:
(i) If you are buying a completed property - both of you will be given a grace period of six months from the completion of your purchase of your private property to sell off your current HDB flat; or
(ii) If you are buying a property still under construction - both of you will be given a grace period of 6 months from the issuance of Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) of the private property to sell off your current HDB flat
After both of you have sold your current HDB flat, both of you may use the monies refunded to your CPF accounts towards the housing payments of your new private property.
If you and your spouse decided not to sell your HDB flat and both of you are able to set aside half the prevailing Minimum Sum at a later stage, please instruct your lawyers to inform the Board of your intention and the Multiple Property rule will apply to your second property.
If you and your spouse intend to apply to use both of your CPF savings towards the new property, please instruct your solicitors to submit the online application form, RPS/1A to the Board for processing.
Do note that we will release the CPF savings only on completion of all legal documention, and after you have paid the 5% cash payment. Further, you would need to settle the cash difference between the purchase price and your CPF lumpsum and the loan first.
Please call us at 1800 227 1188 if you need any clarifications or email us at
[email protected].
yes, for those who hold more than 1 property... In order to use the CPF OA to pay for the second property, minimum sum in the OA must b $60k... Even the first property has been fully paid... Second property is always treated as investment....
you also need a minimum sum in the OA if you want to use the fund to invest in stock or unit trust....
ken, you also removed the WC at the kitchen for your apt?
If really want to do, will remove the door n wall n make it like an open space. So kitchen will look bigger
For my friend's case, the developer sticked to the toilet tiles...the sink still there.
For my previous apt, the developer laid the same tiles as kitchen. Nicer.
PUB will still takes into the account of the WC.
Thanks everyone.
Thanks driftwave for the detailed information.

have not decided yet. Quite tempting to convert it to a storage area so i can use HS as my domestic helper room.
ken, you also removed the WC at the kitchen for your apt?
If really want to do, will remove the door n wall n make it like an open space. So kitchen will look bigger
I meant your previous apt, not WFW... did you remove the WC in the kitchen?
what is domestic helper room??? :confused:

alamak...he put it very nicely....in short its maid room....;)

Oh...previous one..i did not remove..coz need to top up a few thousands to tear down the wall.
If i convert the WC to storage area, than i can use the HS as a maid (dosmetic helper) room.
I have an idea to shift the kitchen wash basin to the kitchen baywindow. This way, i can free up the current space for other electrical appliances such as rice cooker, hot water flask, etc. Not sure if feasible.:beats-me-man:

Thought that part of the $60K can be pledged by your 1st property that paid through CPF? :beats-me-man:
already factor in. min sum should be 120k, half of it pledged using 1st property, so is 60k.
do you think you will be short of washroom, if every one want to "pang-sxx" at the same time, including your maid?!?! :p
i also want to place the washing machine in there... but if i hav a maid next time, then no place for her to "pang"... so my the other half not agree... :ashamed1:
my kitchen is smaller... the bay window there i will level it up, and build a storage place there... on the top, i can use it as a place to prepare food...
Since I dont hav a dry kitchen, now I dont know where to put my coffee machine and mini wine cellar... planning to put an aquarium also... no place ler.... :doh:

My other old which should be 10yo by now was also gas heater. Concealed swee swee is nice...but wait till there is leakage :) that's what happened to my present when we 1st moved in. It was leaking from one the pipes and damaged my false ceiling in the bathroom.
2 in 1 good or not??? think consump lots of energy right?!?!
canot hang at the balcony?!?! saw many condo with small "flag" hanging... :scared-4:
me too....go for 2 in 1 liao....
nope B4 does not have it as well....but have plenty of space to install one huge one....except have to pay from own pocket....:(
Yes..full height shoe rack.
driftwave, your layout "B4" dont have shoe rack?
beside 咸蛋螃蟹... what good food to recommend??? :cheers1:
Separate will be better..for 2-in-1...if u bot a 7kg washer, your dryer is only able to take up half the wash load - 3.5kg.
Maybe technology has improved.
ya..some MC dont allow you to hang your colourful "flag" so openly....
2 in 1 good or not??? think consump lots of energy right?!?!
canot hang at the balcony?!?! saw many condo with small "flag" hanging... :scared-4:
:p :p :p :p :p
yes please...come join my running club.....
I'm started a running club at my RC.
Recommend you guys one good 咸蛋螃蟹at Blk 144 Tampines Street 12 #01-400 - Hong Kong Street Jia Kee Coffee House.
Their XO 螃蟹 claypot beehoon also super shiok...
Yummy Yummy....
but i guess can hang or cannot...sure got ppl do it one lah....as long as dun over do it, i guess the mgmt won't make a big fuss out of it....I saw some retractable type, can swing out abit out of the window....my unit have a bigger aircon ledge, so probably can camo abit...hahaha....
I still prefer the standalone type...at least breakdown just replace one...cheaper...if 2 in 1 breakdown...have to buy a new one which is more ex....anyway....I think i will just settle for a LG or a Samsung 2 in 1....i won't say good but its really cost effective....break down aft a few yr just need to buy new one....still washes just as clean....spin dry at 1000rpm...
2 in 1 good or not??? think consump lots of energy right?!?!

Washer/dryer top load or side load is better? Read from some magazine says side load requires less water and so uses less energy and water consumption. Is this true?

yes i have a dry kitchen...but was wondering can they relocate the water basis there? if so it will be good becos the current design is the cooker is opposite the basin so it is pretty cramp....
for my unit, the bay window is sitting beside the kitchen cabinet, i will build a storage cabinet on it n make it same level as the kitchen cabinet/sink... Then i will hav more space to put thing or used it as space to prepare food...
Ooo i m still waiting the bank to bill me... Mayb october...
Seems like everyone is concern on the usage of kitchen, so many discussions...my main concern will be the bay window area...seems abit waste of space there...any good ideas???
oh by the way receive lawyer call developer have billed the foundation work for my unit....:)
yes i have a dry kitchen...but was wondering can they relocate the water basis there? if so it will be good becos the current design is the cooker is opposite the basin so it is pretty cramp....
is the cooker hob directly opp the sink? If so i think its bad for fengshui.
fire n water... :o

fire n water... :o
Fire and water fight each other... this can lead to arguement and conflict within the family... so, move the sink away... :D try not to let both facing each other directly... sitting side-by-side is also not very good... can put some thing green in between, such as a small plant.

Hi linchong, have you got your unit?
Hi noblebaby and Douk,
Thanks for your advices. For the 2nd question, I know the 15% can pay using cpf. How about the monthly loan payment ($2800) to the bank? My gf and my cpf contribution per month is around 2800 also. Can all of it be channeled to pay the monthly loan?
oh I didn't know side by side also cannot. For the opp each other's case how to put green plant in between? put right in the middle if the kitchen ah? :D

Can....dont forget we are a bunch of Crazy people with crazy ideas. :D
Venus, have you found your Optima's neighbour?
Like that also can ah LOL
can... put those that look like a patch of green grass... :p :p :p
Stove is symbolic of wealth... Plant is wood... if the wood is placed near to the fire (stove) creates stronger fire energy... wood feeds fire... money money come, don't play play yeah... :D
Like that also can ah LOL
from feng shui study, stove and sink must be placed properly... stove not only represent the wealth of the person who support the family... but also the health of that person...
the original layout of the kitchen, with a corner that seperates the stove and sink is the best layout... if only you believe in fengshui... if not, no need to bother... :cheers1:
Can....dont forget we are a bunch of Crazy people with crazy ideas. :D

May I know what is the developer number I could call and check with them?

hmm i thought its ok leh becos its not directly facing each other....just watch the video clip on the showflat to be double sure....confirmed not directly opposite......for me not so much of fengshui but in terms of layout will be better if can shift to the bay window there.....but the bay window is very low i think lower then waist level so does it mean they have to change the window to a smaller size if want to shift the basin there?
Wah gd leh. now u hv a garden in the kitchen!! :D
Someone mentioned putting sink at bay window?? can meh? how abt drainage?

think diagonally opposite is ok. Side by side is ok, depends on whether fire/water cross path or not. better check with a feng shui master.
when the time is closer, I think we can form a group buy to leverage on the economy of scale of buying electrical appliances.....save us more $ for BBQ and beer......:cheers1:
Ken & Driftwave xifu... next time buy home electrical appliances must consult you guys... :p
yeah as long as not directly opp is ok. but side by side one....u say ok but noble baby said not ok....so who's right?

Sorry for the late reply.
We have checked with our project deparment and as informed, our architect is looking into the request of the water-slide. However, due to space constraint and safety criteria, some other proposed equipment may have to be omitted in lieu.

Will adding the water slide means increase of monthly maintenance payment? That is if the water slide is deem higher maintenance costs than the ones currently on the site plan.

yeah as long as not directly opp is ok. but side by side one....u say ok but noble baby said not ok....so who's right?
my kitchen hob and basin is side by side, and the fengshui master is ok with that but he mentioned if the basin and hob swap position, then no good. so i guess there may be more considerations than just simply side by side. the position of basin and hob (e.g. which is near to window/dining room) is also important, i guess. i didnt pay too much attention to his explanation as long as it is ok.
mind the share the current position of your kitchen hob and basin with repect to the kitchen window and door? :)

if there is an air-con unit on that wall... after remove it... the air-con need to shifted... and may b shifted to an awkward location... :confused:

ya hor never thought about the aircon....you know where is the aircon location....u referring to aircon in the bedroom or living area?
i will go down WFW showflat this sat just to take a look again and maybe talk to the agent to find out more about removing this wall thing...
minimum 2.8 to 2.9m.
Yup... thats the standard. But some condos like Coastal Breeze have 3.1m to 3.5m ceiling height.
i dont have any idea on the air-con location... but Driftwave mentioned most of the sir-con unit will be on top of the entrance, which is quite true...
i think the location for the air-con unit in the showflat will be slightly different from the actual unit...

actually the other concern is where the aircon piping are being routed, will it pass thru the wall that is going to be hacked down? nobody noes....
I'm considering not installing the master bedroom wardrobe...ask them to leave the unassemble wardrobe in the house, I can pass it to my in-law to install in her house....and considering not to have the kitchen wall built as well......open concept....so I have a dry/wet kitchen together....not sure if that is a good idea in terms of fengshui? the cooker thou not directly facing the sink or living room but can be seen in the living room....anybody any idea on that?:beats-me-man:

Thanks for the update. Did not see much progress on stack 15 leh.. Hee Hee :D What is the black color block right side of stack 15? Another block 21 or 22?
lots of cooking was done after my wifey delivery....after that 1mth, its like once a week or at most twice a week....my current home also have the wall hacked down, I shrank the kitchen and put in a tempered frosted glass panel with see thru sliding tempered glass door....also can see cooker from living room and my mum who does most of the cooking neber like to close the glass door....so to me with or w/o the wall seems like no diff....its more of fengshui.....any idea?
yeah, my concern is actually on the air-con piping... without the wall, not sure how they route it... or maybe no way... at the end, the wall is not allow to be removed... :o
not sure about fengshui... but do you cook??? if yes, better have a wall...
I have compared these photos with those taken about 1 week ago... seem like they are able to complete one floor within a 2 weeks time frame... by end of next week, they should be able to complete the level 3 of your stack...
if they maintain the same speed, we should be able to see the top floor just before CNY 2010 :D
Haha...just happen i have camera with me today & some spare time to walk around the park. :D
I think fortnightly update will be better...can see more progresses..more surprise too....
Taken around 6pm.
Thks Ken for the update.....actually I was there on Wed afternoon....the construction is progressing very well indeed....I was quite amazed from the shot u posted as I cud not find all ur locations that u shot it...wahahaha.....just went up to the block behind the public carpark and went to the 10th floor to check things out....
Happy National Day! :cheers6:
hmnnn... think the height of the black box is too low to be the roof top of car park... think it is used to level up the ground... from the siteplan, there will be an open space on top of the black box...

Yes especially for No 760, ground floor units already up within a week.
Fyi, the construction work is going on 7 days a week. Weekday 9pm, work still going on. Work may slow down toward year end....raining season....

yes, think other stacks which are facing the reservoir will catch up stack 01-04... this eases them to lay down the concreat flooring at one shot for all the stacks facing reservoir...
pray hard less rain this year...

Maybe around June 2011... just my estimation... but end of 2010 will be a bit too optimistic :D
The construction suppose to start around end of 3Q2008, but think delayed until end of 1Q2009... :banghead:

My wife & I like the glass wall concept too.
But we worried next time has to put in double effort to tidy up that room...otherwise will be not so nice to see a very untidy room from living hall. Unless the blind is always down....
ya i am also considering removing the wall betw living & 1st bedroom then built a glass panel like the showflat.....have'nt decided yet leh....looking at the construction progress i better decide quick man...
Ya...because of poor sales & back timing.
Look at WFK now, they have already started work. May TOP by end 2012 instead of 2015 as stated in the booklet.

Yes, I like that idea... looks modern...
but I need that wall... to put a huge mirror/glass on the side that is facing the dinning room... coz fengshui... it is good to see yourself in the mirror when you makan... symbolize you makan "double"... means wealthy life...

Tempered glass wall and door are nice....but when they break.....its a pain to get it clean up and replaced! Y? my common toilet frosted tempered glass door just exploded in the wee hour 2 weeks back....boy was it a frightening experience.....lucky no one was in the toilet when it burst to pieces....my tempered glass door was quite thick and heavy, close to half an inch thick....i purposely custom made to the thicker and heavier ones yet it still shattered after 6yrs.....I still have quite a few huge panel in my home....not to frighten off anyone but its like a time bomb....btw, if the panel are too wide and huge, the poor constructor will have to carry it up by the stairs instead of the lift....mine is the case for the kitchen glass wall....so do think twice esp when u hv kids at home...:2cents:

Yes so clever. driftwave said he wanted hv a big open cencept wet and dry kitchen. Then you (noblebaby) said better hv wall if they cook a lot.
I dunno how the layout like but will it end up with cooker hob with no wall behind?
Must plan ahead mah. Like u want to knock down walls and all that

not sure about sofa backing... but try not to push the furniture up againts the wall... must give a feel of relaxation to your guest and family member...
you can place the sofa any where as long as the back of it is not facing the main entrance... this is to make sure you can see the person who is entering the house...
I'll follow the arrangement similar to the one shown in the brochure... i will build a mirror wall beside the dinning table... to widen the view... and also to reflect the view outside the window as well...
make sure the living room is lighten up and bright enough... and with plants like fresh flower...
the living room must be simple... and look relaxing... :sleep:

Based on my layout, i have to swap my living & dinning. This way i can see the person who is entering the house. Thank you shifu.

Yes, swap it will be better... then you can place a mirror for "makan double" haha...
our unit is quite similar... for my unit, the only downside is no dry kitchen and the balcony is quite big... other than that, it's all perfect!
i'll lay down timber on the balcony... and turn it into Bali feel... my unit is also quite isolated without facing any balcony... so I can do alfresco dinning for 4 or 5 persons, to fully utilise the space... LOL :D

Your kitchen is cooker and sink positions are safe.
But behind sofa is dining got no backing how? my living/dining same as yours.
if u reverse the layout will there be tv point in the other side?
Ya..not sure abt the tv point. For showflat, dinning & living are interchanged. Different from floor plan.
For kitchen, i have opted for a dry/wet kitchen, so layout different liow.
Tried very hard to modify the layout. Haha...

missed the wall between dry n wet kitchen.... :D the REF and Stove is not good side by side from fengshui.... hot object is also not advisable to be placed near to the REF...

Oops....stove shld be on the other side. Forgot to change this part.
Oh ya..there is a sliding glass panel betw the REF and the basin.

for my case, my REF is beside the stove... so I'll build a small partition just enough to seperate the REF from hot fire... and for sure a small green plant in between...
beside, I'll need to get a REF with its door handle/opening from the right... so when i open the REF door, the heat from the stove will be blocked by the REF's door...
a lot of fengshui and environment study... :p

Showflat its up to the interior designer to arrange the furnitures without taking into considerations abt tv point or power pt. But usually tv pt will follow the layout of brochure. The only condo I know that provide tv pt on both side is the sea view. If u really serious abt swapping position better chk wif developer if both sides hv or can they chng to the other side.
the stove suppose at the sink?
then the stove will be facing the door of the WC?!?! having toilet door face the stove directly implies :hell-hath-no-fury: gets into your makan more easily... :simmering:
Oops....stove shld be on the other side. Forgot to change this part.

Now your hob and sink is opp each other....but not sure if the actual thing will be directly opp or not hor?
fridge cannot beside cooker bcos hot and cold clash izit? :D
yes, fire n water clash... and hot thing beside the fridge also make the fridge consume more energy for cooling...
hmnnn... stove is one of the most important objects in the house... symbolize health and wealth... so must always use it to cook... the more you use the more $$$ come... :D

True. oh and oven too....nowadays we hardly use oven to bake. so once in a while must on and run it for a while...otherwise will spoil.

then the stove will be facing the door of the WC?!?! having toilet door face the stove directly implies :hell-hath-no-fury: gets into your makan more easily... :simmering:
Not only that, there is a sink in the WC. If your stove is really facing WC then again fire and water clashes....
But nvm...keep the WC door close at all times....think will help?
Stove is the most important object ... symbol of wealth & health
A lot of fengshui is common sense. Stove is important in an old society because it is not common to eat out and women all housewives with good cooking skills and responsible for feeding the family. With Singapore women unwilling to become stay-home housewife and availability of good restaurants, is stove really that important anymore? Recent interview in paper - kitchen becomes a place to show off your ID.
Fengshui must be re-interpreted in the context of a modern society. It is just like TCM needs to be understood in the modern context of Western Medicine as well. And the most advanced fengshui must take into considerations the people staying inside. For people with timid/gloomy character, an ID design with dark tone will make it worse.

Wkends still can cook what....even if its just instant noodles. If fire is not impt then why when move in one of the things to is to make sure stove all lighted up? But its just symbolic lah i know....

Stove is also supposed to keep you warm in winter in the old society. What I mean is stove is becoming less important in modern society so we should not take whatever in fengshui theory about stove too seriously.

Its up to individual whether to believe or not. It must hv its merits since a lot of large corporations also will consult fengshui master for their office layouts and even building developments. eg marina IR. Even the old man LKY also a big fengshui follower.
But I agree times hv changed and fengshui has to adapt to that. Actually what we are discussing is just some basic fengshui rules that we hear or read, we are no experts :p Its far more complicated then this like hv to take into considerations things like facing, time period, occupants' bazhi, etc. Best is to consult the real master if we believe in such things lah :)
Hey noblebaby, u mentioned abt laying timber strips at balcony. Hv u thought abt all the dusts and dirts that will be trapped under it? is there a way to clean it? What if it rains and water there breed mosquitoes?
cos I'm thinking of doing that for my pes too but I'm having so many ??? on problems above. Buay tahan rite? haven even start construction already think so much.
Hi venus, im not overly worried on the drainage, etc... just let the expect to do it... they should hav good solution on this...

oh so they will do the drainage everything properly for us huh? Tats gd. Is the above company gd? Do u know roughly how much it will cost?
no idea on the price... for your PES, think not cheap, coz of bigger area... it may cost you $3-4k and more, depends on the type of wood you want...

I studied TCM for many years. Fengshui & TCM share many comment elements. To be good in it, you need to have genuine compassion & care about people, not just driven by money. For example, if my mother suffers from cold type of rheumatism then it is probably advisable to buy a unit that get east sun into living room/bedroom, west sun into bathrooms ... ? So, 坐南朝北 is not necessary the best in any situation, isn't it?
no idea on the price... for your PES, think not cheap, coz of bigger area... it may cost you $3-4k and more, depends on the type of wood you want...
ic thks...next time when u get ur quotation share it here ok?
sure, will get several units to do it together to get a lower price... :p

DJ OECD Official: Asset Bubble Already Taking Place In Asia - 7th August 09
SYDNEY (Dow Jones)--Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Deputy Director of Financial Affairs Adrian Blundell-Wignall said Friday an asset price bubble is already taking place in Asia, raising the prospect of inflation ahead.
"The asset bubble has already re-ignited...we've got the perfect carry trade at the moment," he said at a function in Sydney.
"Where can you borrow at zero, invest in better fundamentals and have no exchange rate risk because they manage their exchange rates? The answer is Asia," he said.
And as borrowing of Asian currencies increase as investment in these markets increases, monetary authorities in these economies will start rebuilding global holdings of foreign exchange reserves.
"Can (China) allow the equity market to get back up to where it goes back off the page? Because that's going to be a problem for them if they allow that to happen," he said.
"And then inflation becomes the next current threat."
He said asset inflation in Asia has already taken off as seen in house prices in Hong Kong and Singapore. :scared-4:
-By Sam Holmes, Dow Jones Newswires;
yup....quite a major one....ripped off quite a number of walls in the process as well.....but last time reno cost are much lower....
:eek: :scared-4: :( :scared-3: :scared-2: :scared-5:
look like quite dangerous for children...
driftwave, seem like you have major reno in your current home. :D
haha....just make sure u keep giving him good advise....the next thing he lose $, he is going to jump on u...whahaha.....
my work is also quite flexible, allowed me to monitor stock market and browse forum during office hour... haha :D ... even my boss consulted me on investment... :scared-2:
tats the norm now...esp on Fri....u see much lesser cars on the road on Fri morning...cos a lot of ppl r working from home...hahaha....
So u suka suka go office at 10am also can? or say lve at 3pm also can? Lucky u!
alamak....getting more twisted already...according to my floor plan...if i go for open concept, only my sink can be seen in the living/dining area....the cooker/hob will be next to the fridge which is nearer to the yard....
cos some of the wall remove now, if fengshui no good later then erect back? so must start thinking now mah.....
think venus is refering to driftwave.
he wanted to have a open concept kitchen.
noblebaby, how are you going to place yr sofa in the living? from fengshui point, sofa need to have a backing too.
wow...TOP still a long way.....so early talk abt this liow...:doh: :doh: :doh:
Sis ah....my cooker/hob is facing the other side....so w/o the wall, only my Sink is exposed....so no backing for the sink....my layout is B4....u will understand what i mean after seeing it....;)
Yes so clever. driftwave said he wanted hv a big open cencept wet and dry kitchen. Then you (noblebaby) said better hv wall if they cook a lot.
I dunno how the layout like but will it end up with cooker hob with no wall behind?

haha...actually i have forgotten the exact location of the sink & hob. Got showflat to check out again. Anyone here can tell me?
was looking at my video, i think your stove & sink should interchange....i.e. the sink is besides the Refrigerator and the stove is diagonally opp to the sink....
can we look at the video? :D

Sis ah....my cooker/hob is facing the other side....so w/o the wall, only my Sink is exposed....so no backing for the sink....my layout is B4....u will understand what i mean after seeing it....;)
ok i know what u mean now. there is supposed to be a wall dividing the kitchen and dining and now u want to tear down that wall down to make it open concept correct? Hob at its original position got a backing so no problem. Just in case u want to know why must hv backing....according to fengshui a stove without backing will lead to couple fighting, family having no peace and money problems.
I like this concept and i would probably do the same as well. Just wondering...nothing to do with fengshui lah. With your sink "exposed" water will splash to the dining floor when washing dishes. u thought of that?
Looking at the construction photos taken in Mar09 by noblebaby and the subsequent photos update by me, I have a mixed feeling like watching my own child growing taller each day. :p
Construction Progress as on 14th March 2009 :)
