Still better then our Cradleton Ecogate....ours is grey...merrydale is the same ecogate but its painted white....vs EB gate .....EB wins hands down...hahaha

Unless Samkps wants to have the below timeless elegance gate ....you can proposed to EW...as this timeless gate is in EW EB website...

[attachmentid=8765214][attachmentid=8765214]

bro..facade cannot change lah .... strata concept....but u told us earlier the guidelines provide for installation of awnings...is it only for corner houses....u did not read in detail izit?

Not even at the back?
Normally less strict on the backside....

I heard Tenderfield backlane can.not do awning also.

sure or not....u look properly n blow up EB gate pics....got steel balls on the gates and lagi got more patern...not like Cradleton ...square n plain.....cradleton gate is just a normal plain gate and most developer provide this gate..so no time elegance and nothing unique...you pay for what you get?

you go ask SA, why corner unit and end unit can...why bias towards intermediate unit...then u can argue strata title, if corner and end units can..then strata concept is all same designs and same layout then intermediate units also can mah...all must have same façade and design..how can bias like this...alamak ....u taiko mah....if taiko also cannot argue for us ....we kitchi miow mati lol...

Front full titlea sui hor?

If one day cradleton got handsome sinking fund... We also install full titles la. Haha...

If EM wants to extend its gate-change idea to Merrydale, they better seriously think about it and do it before VP. 

That's amazing, I thought they're quick enough to learn the lesson though for the gate issue.

Spoken to the team again, seems like the gate issue is sort of finalise.

For the awning that you're asking for, intermediate is allowed but retractable type.

taiko...retractable cannot lah.....will be torn in 1.5 yrs time..sometimes mechanism will fail to retract....
- pls talk some sense to them

I see it differently - before VP it's the absolute discretion of EM to change and of course if they do so will change it with all the same design.  After VP, needless to say, as we can see now the "havoc"

retractable looks cheapo.....few mths u can see its black colour here n there...matches the eco gate perfectly....
when big storm comes...I hope my retractable can fly over to see samkps hse...hehehe

Ah if before VP, I don't think EM will ask the buyers which design they prefer.  Instead, they should just change it so long as the spec of the material used is the same (or better than) with what stated in the S&P

My goodness... IF in the letter EM offer you a golden opportunity to buy Stoneridge at 50% discount provided you reply YES by 25/4, you would have lost the chance already...

we, taman yang sama, free saja la
but cant wait for us to vp now
getting excited since cradleton vped with beautiful landscape

Hehe... even ask buyers also can have different answers and different opinions.  Even though I say beauty lies in the eyes of beholder, I believe not too hard to get some design better than fugly geh... So just need to have a little more artistic sense and change it before handover then end of story liao.

About this "gate change" matter, I would suggest to Cradleton house owners to lobby EM to defer the implementation, ie to put aside any request from the owners to change gate (based on the pre-approved design).  Instead of EM to decide for you guys, let this matter be brought up in the AGM/EGM and let the majority of the owners to decide (a) whether to allow the change in gate design; (b) if (a) is passed, which design is to be used (with the estimated budget tabled for owners consideration).  So, the current design 1 and design 2 proposed by EM shall be taken as reference at the moment which may subject to change or be retained with few other designs (if any) as EM gather inputs from the owners, and then let the house owners to decide which design to follow in the AGM.

Why so?
1) While we appreciate the kind intention of EM, let the owners to make this decision themselves as the gate being at the very front part of the house would definitely affect the uniformity of the facade (probably more the the awning).
2) Neither EM nor the owners know how significant is the number of owners who want for a gate change now.  IF there is only a very small group of people, the small number of the different gate design that spreads out in the precint is already enough to spoil the uniformity of the facade.  No point taking unnecessary risk while we are unsure how loud is the voice for a change.
3) There supposed no change in the gate design after VP until the flexibility is given by EM.  So, if the idea to allow a gate change is not receptive to majority of the owners, it is just back to its very original form - no harm and nothing to lose.
4) There would be uncertainty to those who favour a gate change knowing that it is bound by the decision of the majority owners in the AGM.  So, they may need to delay their renovation plan or / and installation of the motor for auto-gate function.  As to how soon can an AGM be convened, I supposed it entirely depends on EM.  So EM can help out by calling for an AGM as soon as it is ready.

Anyway, just my thoughts for you to consider.

Hehe... are you convinced
