Hi all,

Bought a sub sales studio apartment a year ago, and the renovation started.
Been reading on previous post and learn alot from fellow forumers.
It's my turn to share

before renovation:

My idea on how to fully utilize the space of this small house:

Build a partition wall to cover up the dining area to make this house a 2 bedroom instead f just 1.
Add an entrance cabinet would be nice.

Looks like it will be a very cozy place.
Laminated floors always gives that feeling especially when the space is small.

Are the laminated floorings on top of existing tiles? Didn't remove the tiles, right?
Does it mean the floors are slightly higher? If so, what to do with the doors?
Change them all?

They will usually slice the bottom off.

What about the main door of condo? Usually it's a fire-resistance rated door...
Also can slice off the bottom?

how high your ceiling is?

u just do L shape ?

Laminated floor on top of existing parquet floor of master bedroom.
slightly higher but i don't feel the difference.

just cut off a few cm of the door.

About 9ft.
yes, my contractor advice me to just do L Shape, so it won't lower down the whole living room.

if you say so, then i'm capable to do L shape too since my ceiling height around 9'.



dont forget to show us some pic of L shape after renovation. lighting etc.

Awesome. How much does all this cost?

Cabinet installation


Kitchen island


Full height sliding wardrobe with 1 side full mirror

Spend around 17k. exclude tiles, toilet bowl, toilet accessories, light bulb and paint.
Busy running around to buy, but its good to choose things i like.

im wondering, where are this kind of apartments? 1 bed n 1 kitchen type available?

hi,

what sort of material is being used to create this partition?
