... Read moreRenovating a large apartment of 200 sqm offers a unique opportunity to rethink space utilization and enhance the living experience. From my own experience, an important aspect in such projects is to carefully plan zones for different activities—like the dining room, kitchen, living areas, study, and even specialized areas such as tea tasting corners. In this renovation, the transformation of spaces such as the bedroom, bathrooms, and kitchen requires both functional and aesthetic consideration. Custom wall panels and built-in furniture like dressing tables were key to maximizing storage without cluttering the space. Additionally, integrating modern kitchen appliances such as steam/oven combos efficiently within the kitchen layout elevated the functionality. Proper spatial design not only improves flow but also ensures that distinct areas like the reading nook and entryway serve their purposes gracefully. The use of detailed architectural drawings simplified communication between the client and designer, making the renovation process smoother. Affordable design support can still yield high-quality results by prioritizing smart layout changes and subtle stylistic updates. Overall, an apartment renovation of this scale emphasizes holistic design—balancing comfort, utility, and style—which I found deeply rewarding through personal involvement in spatial planning and interior detailing.

Tips to Securing a Decent SBF BTO~
I am surprised not many people talk about the key to securing a decent SBF BTO is to be flexible. Honestly, I thought we were very lucky to get a ballot number on our 1st try & to land right around the halfway mark. So we assumed there would still be many good units left to choose from. T

Is bigger always better? 5Room vs 4Room BTO
Some people think if I can afford it, then obviously I'd go for the 5-room flat. Bigger is better right? Let's not talk about factors like location and nearby amenities. Even comparing units within the same project, actually, a 4-room can sometimes cost more per sqm than a 5-room. And on

Define whats a cheap HDB
Most of us grew up in an era where HDB flats are priced in six figures and in recent years, even seven! So it’s hard to truly imagine what a $6,200 flat meant back in 1968. Recently, I purchased an HDB unit (for my buyer) that was first bought for just $6,200 when Singapore was still a young nat

恭喜所有的Rivelle Tampines 的买家们,这个楼盘卖了92.5%,价位不少超过了$2000psf,我们一起创造了历史~ ​感谢我的买家,2nd timer抽了好签位,果断选择了一个高层好风景5房单位,相信以后能赚大钱,“要赚钱,买森联”他也相信的。还有没选到的2nd timer,一个月后我们再来抽,相信有机会。 ​我们小组这次表现还行,成了约10间,有两间是同事自己买,有个2nd timer买家抽了272号,结果成了倒数第二个2nd timer,幸运选到了4房,玩得就是心跳,我同事很开心,全体队友一起祈祷,那份团结感觉很难美妙,感谢老天爷,希望这种synergy能激发更多同事

We actually like our floorplan! ☺️
Its nearing our key collection day, so why not share more about our house! A 4room HDB BTO, 93sqm. A general layout that is similar to many other projects too! However, if you look closely, there are some minor differences. 1. Door to Bomb Shelter gap ❌ - too narrow to build a shoe cabinet.
