What's wrong with the layout?
That's what I thought too....of all the unit types, the 2+1 duplex is the most disappointing. I think what went wrong is the fact that the showroom is nowhere near the actual product that one will be getting. It's suppose to be a 2+1, right? But when one walks in, all one sees is an average living room, and when you go upstairs, there's your 1 bedroom. Wait a minute, how about the other 1+1? Nope, nowhere to be seen. And best of all, you just can't visualize, and what I mean by can't is, it is seemingly impossible, spatially and physically, to fit in the 1+1 bedrooms. You would be lucky to even squeeze out an additional bedroom out of it.
What's the point of showing such a unit? From a 2+1 duplex unit to a fully single bedroom duplex unit, I feel that they are trying to whisper the message across that users can spend an additional RMXXk to tear down their fully furnished units once they received the keys so that they can convert it to a single bedroom duplex unit. After all, the 2+1 duplex unit layout is not good, that's why we didn't even plan to show you how it looks like when it will be handed over to you. Irony is, duplex unit was the first that was fully sold before the showroom came out. Then again, it could be because the units were limited.
That being said, the other layout (3 bedroom, 893sqft) was really good, IMHO. Utilized every inch of available area well, with even room for a cozy study area.
