There is a rooftop garden. Therefore it will take very strong wind to wet the corridors. Having said that, I would have preferred walls with windows for safety. Maybe can petition for this.

they should use brick wall imho, at least 1.2m high ...but i guess nothing we can do as buyer

From the YouTube video, it seems the roof top garden got void area (or air well) which allow the sunlight and rain water to go in.

The layout plan showing that the void area is quite small but the pictures taken slowing it is quite big. Agrees they should cover it up with either wall or tempered glass

Ok, I think in that case we have a small void area at the roof top garden which should not be a big deal as can be covered if rain is a problem.

Any organiser for the petition or post the railing pictures on the facebook of DF?

Should post to facebook to let L&G know our concerns before too late

just giving them some benefit of doubt... could it be possible that the rails we see are just temporary for construction safety & later they will install proper glass?....

haha just trying to be hopeful....

First, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

Some people like stainless steel, some people like brickwall plastered and paint, some people like it glass while others like it mild steel with quality paint.

And in terms of safety, also it seems to be related to "looks" as well.

Brickwall looks "safest"
steel looks "second safe"
Glass looks "not so safe"

Actually, as long as it is calculated, a thick glass can be stronger than a brickwall.

yes my thought of full ground to ceiling glass wall would be best

A developer who only thinks of dollar and sen will choose the one with the lowest cost

but this is their phase 1 of their planned 4 development at this area... they should build to impress to bring on the sales for following phases

I just asked my friend who works as a professional QS, he said brick low wall is actually cheaper to construct compared to this steel railing... As long as the railing height is conformed to the requirement, nothing is wrong.

He also said it is all boils down to personal preference, heck some might even say the glass railing at the balcony is not safe...

Yup, same here... My friend who is an Architect said the same thing as well...

Looks cheap to you?

Hopefully not like Villamas, Project of Verdi at Ara Damansara, basement 3 floor & upper 3 floor, finally collapse, all the buyers and the bank keep calling developer, their answer is normal.... I tell u all Shit!!
Hope L&G not use a cheap material!!!

Where you take this photo ?

Railing can be improved...the color is so like school grills

Hi, Any one here is using Standard Chartered Islamic bank ??

I tend to differ based on personal preference.

There is nothing wrong if any part of our house or condo looks like school, hospital or even crematorium.

There are school, hospital or even crematorium that are decorated more beautiful than any of our house.
