3D Drawings for our new haven

After a few rounds of discussion with my ID and hubby, here are the long-awaited 3D drawings. Some details still need to be finalised when we receive the keys to our flat in April. As for the tentative drawings, I must say I'm quite thrilled and look forward to the reno works! Here are the pictures...enjoy!

Living & Dining areas - One of my favourites! We simply love the brown and grey tones. I like this design because it's  contemporary and timeless. The mirror you see next to the TV feature wall is tinted brown cabinet for storing CDs/DVDs. I love the dining area as well. I intend to purchase a dining table with chairs and a side bench like the one shown in picture. So far, of all the furniture I've laid my eyes on, I just love those from Boconcept! I hope I could find something similar at more affordable prices! Crossing my fingers...

Here's the kitchen! It's Ken's favourite. If Ken can cook, why should I right? You wouldn't find me here often in the house so not much comments from me except that it's really a functional kitchen with stainless steel near the stove for heavy cooking and what you see here is based on our assumption that the wall to the service yard could be hacked. Again, keeping our fingers crossed...anyway, I like how the same floor and wall tiles are used here! :)

Master Bedroom - I have a hand in designing this! My ID had a very good design for the wardrobe at first but it was a pity that I couldn't appreciate it. I prefer something simpler and timeless. Afterall, this is going to be a pathetically small master bedroom so it's best not to have complicated designs. How was I involved in this design? I suggested to have this nice velvety (or suede? can't rem) full height headboard and the side mirrors with a dresser. Flooring will be ash timber. The spaciousness of the room is deceiving though. Just imagine a much more constrained area, alright?

Study Room - not one of my favourites in terms of design but certainly very functional! For my work, I need lots of storage and a long long table and there you go! Ken will occupy the shorter table near the window. I like the ID's suggestion on painting the 'inner wall' a different colour. :)

Master bedroom bathroom - again, the space you see here is highly misleading but I really love the design, especially the mirrors, separate shower area with different floor tiles and the accent (that 'highlights' the toilet bowl). I like how the same floor and wall tiles are used here too. Lightings are wrong in the picture though. There will not be any downlights here.

Common bathroom - looks equally good that I think I can bathe here too if Ken's taking a little too long in the other one. Different material and design used for the accent here. All separate shower areas do not have doors for opening due to space constraint. We prefer not to have. :)

If you're keen to find out about the ID we've engaged and the general quote, feel free to email me. Frankly, we are going to spend quite a bomb on renovation because we really hope to have a comfortable haven for a good night's rest, entertainment for our souls, functional study room to work in and a fully equipped kitchen to whip up a good meal on weekends.

  1. Hihi, stumble onto your blog from facebook, just want to highlight to you some issue.

    1) Your 3D drawings is unaccurate, the actual house is much smaller.

    2) HDB will not allow us to hack the toilets unless you overlay them. But overlay in toilet is not advisable as it may pop out easily..

    3) HDB will not allow us to hack the 2 windows inside the kitchen separating the yard.

    4) The MBR cannot accomodate a king size bed, yr position of bed will only left you with a miserable tight walking space.

    Just my few comments, you understand what I mean after you see the real flat.. your fellow JS neighbour in blk 445. =)

  2. Finally have the time to reply you, 'anonymous' neighbour fr 445! :)
    1) Yeah...mentioned in my blog here that the space in this 3D drawing is misleading too...

    2) Sure, we're overlaying, not hacking...still prefer to walk on nice tiles hehe...well, well, let's just say that if they really pop, we'll have means to do something to them...

    3) With PE endorsement, sure can be hacked. Many have done so already. :)

    4) Measured together with ID - can fit king size bed...not doing tv feature wall anyway :))
