around this time of the year really best to reno

This will be my final layout... any comment?? Its base on actual measuring on the unit it self. The numbers at the side is by "foot".

Remember to continue showing the progress of the renovation once started

If you have the budget or wiggle room, maybe move your deskspace to the living room instead? And then hide it behind a cabinet facade or a false feature wall. Maybe even make it look exactly the same as your closet.



That way you don't have to go back and forth from your work area to the kitchen or bathroom.

I considered that before. The reason i put my desktop there is because sometime I like to lie on by bed and watch movie. With that positionn i place My TV. I can't watch it from there. So i still have a desktop to watch drama if I wanted to.

I see. How big is your screen? Your bed is pretty far from your desk.

my usual preference is for when i open the door i can see the "skyscraper view" from a condo.
however, since the layout is long you can't do that unless you hide the bed which is quite a hassle and expensive.
curtains are a cheap alternative but here are some options.

1. panel curtains - looks very sleek and modern

2. solid partitions - this can be useful if you want to have guest over and still provide a little bit of privacy since it is solid and with a lockable door, you can sleep on your bed in your partitioned area, while your guest can have the living room on a sofa bed.
sos

3. drop down roller blinds, may require a at least two banks.
sos

Saw this online.

The floor plan layout is different but it still has a rectangular shape and a 1 studio rm condo layout which you can probably take some interior ideals from?

Actually I was thinking why don't you build a 3-in-1 piece that can serve as wardrobe, display cabinet and act as a partition to define bedroom and living space

nice idea, but somehow that layout doesn't work for me personally

Doesn't work for mine as well as mine is a lot wider. as for Water heater system, You guys think this is reliable? saw this on the home fair last saturday. looks tempting.

price also affordable.

Small tank RM2800, Medium 3100, large 3400 including 10 feet hot water piping and installation.

Wont use Electricity and the water is hot until got smoke one when i see it that day.

wow, cari makan until here

yeah, TS, u can look for vincent or kelvin, super great price offer

u need a false wall to shield the fridge from being bang bang by door

Why not you put two bedside tables instead of one? I like the layout to be balanced, just my personal preference.

You might not see it now, but you will need space for storage, small stuffs can be put in the wardrobe, but bulky stuffs such as ladders, vacuum cleaners, even things like broom or mop has to be stowed away to make your space look tidy. Perhaps you can consider installing wall storage, keep things away from the floor.

I agree with you. Thats why my sofa and bed all can open and store stuff below it. If you look at the Ikea catalog, You will know what I mean. As for bed, I bought the hydraulic model. Can open up and store stuff below it.

Anyway after look look see see, Looks like there are a lot of unused space. This saturday will get ID to go onsite to give me quotation then see what's their suggestion.

When I was planning my apartment reno works, I like to look at the ID works done for Verve Suites. Try to have a look. They utilize space to the max.

If the unit has high ceiling, it will be an advantage for me to build a loft bed platform above.

I'm also intrigued as how would your id will try to utilize the space to the fullest.

Did a new layout with 3d sweet home. I think this one is better. Do you guys agree?



There is 1 problem though, The TV Athena and power switch all located near the computer table. I wonder how the contractor gonna relocate them.

Oh ya, are you going to have both washing machine and dryer? Don't see it in your plan

send to laundry. lazy wash my self. around rm20 per week only

Maybe out of reach or extreme but here's what Gary Chang did to his 344 sq ft home in Hong Kong.



The steel tracks I can think of is available from Raumplus but not sure if Mr Chang sourced for the same as the load imposed could be higher.

Tree Hugger's Graham Hill 1100 sq ft in 420 sq ft.


The design of such nowadays earned it appropriately the moniker transformer apartments.
