I went there yesterday. Confirm that there is a extra toilet in a corner lot and its just right after you enter the front door.

Anyone have any idea whether this applies to corner lots only or to all Duranta units?

On the discussion of renovating/building out the RC platform or front balcony, I am tempted too but will want to check with a contractor before deciding further. See whether it is a good choice or not first

From the brochure, it says reinforced concrete roof for the balcony. Seems sturdy enough but hopefully the beams are up to it.

From the Duranta's main entrance picture, it somehow feel like a 22ft instead of 24ft wide house. Usually with such shot, a 24ft width house (some developer already categorizing it as superlink) is quite obviously wider and grander; although on paper its only 2ft difference. Or its just me?

@awiwa, i actually prefer the staircase like that. Not that i'm really into fong sui, staircase which leads directly to front door isnt that good. If you need inspiration, I got some interior pictures on how to deco such stairs. If nicely done, there is no doubt it will be among the main highlight of the house.

If there is a powder or toilet room your S&P drawing should have mention it. Maybe what you saw is banyan unit.

Hi, I am a banyan semi-d owner. We have a U-shaped staircase that makes the downstairs underneath looks odd. Would appreciate if you can show some interior pictures on how the deco such stairs. Thanks.

According to her, we may try to inspect but it is up to the site workers whether to allow us in or not. It's for our safety actually.

According to my layout plan, the banyan powder room door is much further away from the main door, but this one looks very close to it. Most likely not Banyan.

Hi! I new to this type forum btw I bought Oleander unit own stay. Hope to get more info from all of you. thanks kengwei for starting this and awiva for your wonderfull photo.

Finally Oleander buyer appear. Welcome, I am also Oleader buyer myself

That was one of my plans, knock out the toilet, then straigthen the stairs, and play futsal in large hall  .

But the pipings are most probably connected to those in the master bedroom toilet upstairs.

If not done carefully can get very messy. Prefer not to mess around with pipes. Also need big budget for such a major rebuild.

Yeah, that why I said owners will be very tempted to use the space.

KLK should issue a warning if the porch is not meant for human activity.

On the other hand, also easy for people to open window and walk into your room.

If there is a powder or toilet room your S&P drawing should have mention it. Maybe what you saw is banyan unit.

Welcome Alex! Hehe just hope we have a platform to communicate and know each other =)

Not sure about Banyan's layout but for Duranta, apart from being wider, the layout is more or less the one of Damai Residence in Kota Kemuning.

Their show unit looks nice, especially the stairs. Refer herehere

I'm planning to do up my stairs with glass railing. If the ceiling height permits, i'm also planning to build a half floor of work area above the 2nd floor living room (like a duplex concept). Not forgetting, the balcony extension too.

Thanks for the pics. Nice plan you have.  Not sure what is duplex concept though. Balcony extension via additional steel bars and hooks? Very expensive for me loh...

Every one here is wondering if the balcony is strong enough on its own. I've been asking the sales agent too but they are clueless at this stage. Probably need to get them to ask the project engineer.

My version of duplex concept is an extension of half upper floor over the lower floor in a high ceiling structure. Just an idea though, atm no idea how high the ceiling will be.

The ceiling is at least 16 feet high

16ft at its lowest point? Anything above 16ft is good enough for a partial additional floor!

Tempted to do this

Except above the elevated floor is ceiling. If it can be done, then i'll gain more or less extra 100sqft of workstation

But I wonder if you renovate like that, how you going to move something big like wardrobe to up-stair? Will block by this partial floor?
