so next phase they should:
1 - maintain kitchen at car porch.. - easy to carry groceries
2 - maintain living hall facing garden.. much nicer view more natural lights and maybe fresh air to come in..
3 - amend the bathrooms size to be more elegant.. especially for the master bedroom..
4 - get rid of the swimming pool.. just make balcony is sufficient may be? or make it an option.. if buyer want swimming pool than can install.. if not.. then normal balcony.. different price..
at the current design.. people go whoaahhh at living hall only.. buyers rethink when climb up the stairs..
Yea, the double volume ceiling gives the awesome first impression but took up too much space. Basically one master bedroom or maybe 2 standard rooms is taken away from the 1st floor just to create that kind of design.
For this refleXion, the floor to floor space is so high that I think they should do away with the double volume to create more useful space and yet still able to impress with the garden facing living hall.
Double volume is practical only to large semi-d or bungalows.
I'm wondering how metrogen can claim 4,250sf b/u.
The numbers dun seems to add up. A quick calculation, though not precise (i dun hv the layout with me now)
Lot size 24'x80'.
Minus car porch and offset at the back, effective built up area about 24'x50'
GF b/u = 1,200 sf
1F b/u = 1,200 sf x 2/3 = 800 sf (double volume takes away 1/3)
2F b/u = 1,200sf
Total: 3,200 sf.
Can anyone confirm the roof top pool open area be counted as b/u? Remember it is a 2.5 storey and not 3s.
If not counted in, u take 1/3 out from the top floor, the the net total b/u is only 2,800 sf.
Correct me if i am wrong.
