Swimming pool located at the top floor should be very exclusive coz its mostly landed around and nobody can see you taking a leisure swim...

Swimming pool at the top is actually very bad fengshui. Residents underneath drowning.Originally Posted by ysyap

Maybe the fengshui is designed in favor of the hotel/casino and not the hotel/casino guests.

KTKW, saw your website and have a question on the walking distance to serangoon MRT, can you actually cut across the field of St Gabriel's?
Newbie
don't have to cut across (you can't anyway, school compounds are generally not accessible to public), you can circumnavigate the east perimeter, and cut through the HDB estate to get to the MRT entrance. probably a 7 to 8 minute walk.
Newbie
The reason why the line was drawn there is because there is a small park just beside the school, thats why can cut across.
Hope that clarifies

Thanks for the clarification. Judging by the distance it should be 8 min to serangoon MRT or 10 min to NEX. Still quite walkable.The reason why the line was drawn there is because there is a small park just beside the school, thats why can cut across.

Water tank does not cover whole length of HDB for your information. There was a case whereby a body found inside n HDB change the tank n it was illustrated in newspaper how big the tank was. You can also look up dictionary for difference between swimming pool and water tankOh...then people in HDB all gone liao.. BIG watertank on top.

This is good news for prospective buyers! They probably figured out that their asking must match Bartley R which is not selling like hotcakes!!! Lol!

thanks for the link.
the floor plans seriously cannot make it leh. maximise profit at expense of buyers type of layout. giant balconies and a/c ledge, rooms small small.
Not Newbie
Looks quite alright to me. In fact, I am quite impress that the 2 bedder has a yard! Now, try to find me a two bedder that comes with a yard among all the new development.the floor plans seriously cannot make it leh. maximise profit at expense of buyers type of layout. giant balconies and a/c ledge, rooms small small.
The layout are all squarish and generally north south facing. IMO, not too bad at all.
必ず
I am surprised too to see a yard which is rare for 2 bedders. For me a good floor plan has to be human-centric, ie optimally sized to cater for adequate walkway eg 780mm wide walking path except maybe for rarely accessible areas in bedrooms. Any excess floor space on top of such walking space should be optimized for standard furniture layout. Living room areas should be 900mm or 1200mm wide if possible.

Do you mean mm or cm?
Senior
wouldn't it be better if they reduced the size of the balconies (relative to the total size of the units)? developer is quite simply, greedy.
必ず
Sorry I mean mm for width of walking area. Eg if living/dining room is 3m wide you can have a 600mm deep cabinet, a 1.5m long dining table and still have at least 780mm walkway.
必ず
Since bonus GFA for balcony is 10% of max GFA, if the average balcony space per unit is more than 10% then the developer is trying to maximize profit by cutting construction cost isnt it? Or to achieve a lower 'perceived' psf for better sales.
tweet @condoexchange
I meant if you are referring to MM shoeboxes in general or CM cooling measures to further control walkway widths! wakakakaka
必ず
Haha...There are no CM measures that I know of. And I'm referring to floor plans in general, not specific to MM.

Thanks for the URL. I think Bartley Residences unit bigger and better. Nearer MRT. Much much better buy than this. Too cramped.
Senior
Agreed. The 4 bedders actually only has one room that can house a queen size bed. The other 3 rooms are miserable in size! The a/c ledge is simply HUGE, along with the balcony!
必ず
I compared 2 bedders between 700 and 800 sq ft across several new developments such as Bartley Residences, Casa Cambio and Gambir Ridge and noticed the following patterns:
1. All have at least 870mm wide walkway from main door into kitchen area and all bedroom entrances.
2. Distance between sofa and tv console at least 2 x 780mm. Bartley Residences is more generous here.
3. In bedrooms with queen size bed, at least 2 sides of the bed can have a walkway 780mm wide
4. In bedrooms with single bed, at least 1 side of the bed can have a walkway 780mm wide.
5. All beds have another side (besides pts 4 an 5) that offers minimal walkway such as 500mm. Note in smaller developments such as One Dusun with 600+ floor space this walkway may be missing.
The key thing is after setting aside space for walkways how much space is there really left for placement of furniture. When owners start to place furnitures that eats into and constricts these walkways then that's where crampiness can be felt.

Same here, first thing I notice is the balcony even for the 1+1, I rather have a bigger living/dining space then have 2 balconies.Agreed.
