Guess i can only buy old condos next time. I really dislike huge balconies.

i used to not like balconies thinking it takes up valuable floor space. now that i have a balcony, i wish it can be bigger. :grin:

 

i like that i can have plants there to create another feel which is different from the living room and bedrooms. it becomes a relaxation place for me to read, catch the breeze or just see the sky. the balcony opens up my living room. my cats like it more because they take their afternoon naps there. :inlove:

 

as long as a family take some effort to create a living space in the balcony (that means not turning it into a storeroom or laundry drying area), i believe having a balcony is a big plus to the family home.

The only way to resolve the sudden iron gate swing out and hit you in the face is to retrofit all iron gates to swing insai your DeeBeeAssAss flat.

 

or they will "upgrade" to sliding gate for free...

LESS THAN 1.2m!!!!

SINGAPORE - Residents of Pasir Ris One - the last of the Design, Build and Sell Scheme (DBSS) projects - have raised concerns over problems with their premium Housing Board flats.

The Straits Times understands that complaints involve common corridors that are too narrow, persistent workmanship defects and design flaws.

In one case, a resident living on the second floor found the view from his balcony blocked due to the position of the sheltered drop-off area directly below his unit.

"This was never in the original plans," said the resident, who identified himself as Mr So. "If I knew the top of the shelter would go beyond the first floor, I would have purchased a unit on a higher floor.

"It's very disappointing because this was supposed to be my dream home," the general manager, 42, told The Straits Times.

According to Mr So, the project's developers had offered to upgrade his three-room flat to a four-room unit as there were no other three-room ones available.

Pasir Ris One is a collaboration between property developers SingHaiyi Group and Kay Lim Holdings. The 447-unit project was launched in April 2012 and a unit costs between $390,000 and $770,000.

A major bugbear for residents is the narrow common corridor, which according to Chinese daily Shin Min Daily News measures just 1.17m wide.

Based on fire safety guidelines published on the Singapore Civil Defence Force website, a minimum clearance of 1.2m is required.

"It's enough of a squeeze that two people might have trouble walking side by side," said one resident who declined to be named. "This could be a serious safety hazard in the event of emergencies."

Others were worried whether larger pieces of furniture could fit through the corridors.

A SingHaiyi spokesman told Shin Min that the project was built within the safety requirements specified by the Housing Development Board (HDB).

Residents also highlighted issues within their flats, such as how the master bedroom could not fit a king-sized bed.

But a resident by the name of Mr Lim, who had purchased a three-room unit, said he was already prepared for the small unit size after viewing the showflat.

Instead, Mr Lim was unhappy over the persistent defects such as floor tiles popping up, cracks on window panes and stains on doors.

"The developers sent workers to fix the defects, but the problems kept cropping up as the workmanship was poor to begin with," he said.

"It definitely doesn't feel like this is worth the amount of money we paid."

The Straits Times has contacted HDB and SingHaiyi for comment.

Other DBSS projects have also been plagued by similar woes. Earlier this month, a group of residents of Centrale 8 in Tampines were upset about the quality of the finishes and fittings and were hoping to get the developer to extend the warranty period for defects.

Those living at Trivelis in Clementi were also told in May that they could receive a goodwill package from developers after various problems - from defective stove knobs and rusty dish racks to shower glass panels that shattered easily - were detected.
