Chowyunfatt Turbocharged July 24, 2012 Share July 24, 2012 Can anyone tell me if it is legal to build a Kitchen on a roof terrace? I've a Private Roof Terrace which is open & I would like to build an open concept Kitchen to do my cooking, so that my indoors would be clean. The area is totally covered & no one is able to look in from the outside. Its a Condo not a Landed, so what are the Legality issues here? Anyone here has the same experience? Thanks. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tell you can but your condo management say cannot also LPPL...... Ask your condo management whether can erect a kitchen.. mostly they will tell you to erect only in bed...

Sp4wn Turbocharged July 24, 2012 Share July 24, 2012 from my knowledge - no. they will cite loading issues etc (roof terraces are not built to withstand much weight). they will also say roof terraces were not specifically designed for heavy cooking (so even if you cite BBQ etc, they will say those are *extremely* occasional). however,i'm a little unsure about your roof terrace since you first say its open (unsheltered) then you say its covered. please advise which one it is. if its currently open (no roof), then placing any kind of permanent structure to cover the area will result in exceeding GFA, which is a big no no.

Whether it's legal or not, you'll have to get pass many layers of office, it seems. Just get a few of those portable electric cooking stoves and cook up a storm since nobody can see...hoho.

Its actually an open roof terrace, I've got 4 walls covering it, but the top is open. I've got a short trellis followed by an awning to cover it from the rain & sun.

I'm not asking for Opinions, I'm asking for experience or people who know the rules & regulations to this subject. Condo Mgt will always say NO to everything, this is to ease their problems & work load. It is always good to know your rights, so you don't do what you shouldn't & not just listen to Mgt alone. A second opinion is always helpful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
