IJM, SPD, SPS, EW, Tropicana, Mahsing, MKH, IOI, Sunway, even Gamuda... All also have leaking issue one, depending how many units only..

Setia Alam is a suburb, to be exact, Setia Alam is still a huge construction site. Being mass-produced is fine if there are variations in designs. This one looks too uniformed. When the trees and shrubs mature, maybe it will change how the whole place looks and uniformity will be less jarring.

Canal city not only consists of EcoSantuary alone. Other developers have different design as well. Perhaps can make a round and try to see the area when all these units are VP.

Ok, perhaps it is improper to use Setia Alam as the example, Puchong used to be suburb as well.

No need waste your time to feed into the ego of the losers/haters la bro.
The best is to ignore them and let the losers 'kaki kong , kaki song'/ talk among themselves here in an almost owners abandoned thread.
I understood that most of the ES owner's discussion has moved to another forum provided by the developer.
The forum is exclusive for owners only.
Cheers.

Exclusive means metoo kor cannot participate jor

Ahem.... the units at Monterey were designed by a prominent architect, whom designed a lot of bungalows with somewhat similar design in s'pore leh.... Dremien in EA also designed by them... lol

Unker BEAN is expert on Canal City who apparently self admit he have too much time on his hands so he will troll threads with developments that he dislike.

So when he say its mass-produced junk, then it must be la...

Why u argue? U ES fanboi ka?

Lol.... i think he din say "mass-produced junk" per se lah..... As for me, just wanna say that sometimes there is beauty in simplicity. Beauty lies in the eye of beholder mah....

metoo,

don't put yourself so high up on pedestal.

you dislike ES. pls re read what you had posted before.

at least I did say ES is the best amongst all 4 projects in canal city.

I did say I have too much time. you just assumed I will troll all threads jus like you.

Well, to err is human. Architects, even the like of the late Zaha Hadid did terrible mistakes in their design. Let alone some ”prominent“ architect that is as good asa speckle of dust in the universe.

Similar to design to design in Singapore so what？if it is a piece of shit, it is a piece of shit. Nothing will change that. Many “prominent” architects are clueless as what is practical, Zaha Hadid included. Just because they are architect doesn’t mean they know what they are doing all the time.

For ES, the facade of those buildings are more of form over substance. While they are nice to look at, they are IMPRACTICAL, I will stand firm by my opinion.

I beg to differ.

architecture designs are meant to push boundaries. yes, some sections could be overly ambition, but no alteration or adaptation cant solved.

I like EW cubism designs very much. Substance to do with proper construction method and not cut corner. Unfortunately IF developer or contractor cut corner here and there, and lack of expertise in the field, it will create problem. also adoption of design plays a great part as well. Beauty does come with price and pain.


I used to own a Bauhaus design home by a young Indonesian architect (26yo only when he designed these homes). Practical? most parts but due to poor workmanship, its too costly to maintain.

Zaha Hadid, rest in peace, You are one of the greatest architects ever breath on earth. Your designs have continue to allow other architects to follow your footsteps.

What type of boundaries has been challenged in terms of design is there to speak of in ES? Nothing that is constructed there cannot or have not been replicated elsewhere technically or artistically. Whilst I like the look of those houses, the fact remains that the ceiling clearance from the roof is too small and dispersal of water too slow with flat roof for tropical climate. It’s impractical. Period.

We see ppl doing impractical things all the time, eg. wearing high heels. Yes, beauty does come with price n pain literally lol.

Btw the Bauhaus design home u mentioned, were u referring to SEP phase 5 bungalows?

yes. one of the best designer home streets ever.
7 facades to choose from (you can choose your façade out of 7 and they will build it for you, if you bought the bungalows during the initial launch time). we have 7 different designs on my opposite view, I liked it very much.


but setia on bitten twice shy. they learnt the mistake of non-uniformed facades hence after phase 5, they stopped doing so. Even EW also stopped such offering.

Lol.... bikini as well... But bikini + high heel, fuyoh....

Some of my friends also anti plaster ceiling, said it is not practical and reduce ceiling height.. Artistic design vs practical usage, sometime I think up to individual preference..

During my visit, the area where Phase 5 is located looks deserted. Most units are abandoned with rusted railings on those bungalows with overgrown bushes and shrubs. If my memory served me well, Phase 11 has even more varied facade, more than 10 types to choose from with very huge build up.

Just use the existing points (with wiring built-in) provided by the developer, no fancy lightning with T5 / T8 LED tube..

only 32 units in phase 5.

one guy bought 4 units, never lived there.....left to collect dust. think he very rapat with tan sri. his son once moved in but his grandson kena kidnapped....then his son also left.

few units owners never stayed there, only for rent. most bungalows required constant maintainence. cheap paint setia used, so need to repaint exterior every 3 to 5 yrs.

but after phase 5, setia dun allow owners to select n pick their facade on the plot of land. so the designer street not as FREE as phase 5.

cheapskate n minimal design thinking, macam most of the for rent condo loh
