Bedok Residences Condo: Clubhouse and Barbeque Pit (Barbeque Pit Maze) There are many factors to consider when choosing an apartment. These days, some of the most important considerations include: 1. If the unit does not have an indoor rubbish chute, check where the central rubbish chute is located. 1.1. Some new developments now offer two types of rubbish chutes: one for general waste and one for recycling. 2. There was a recent case where someone bought a “premium” unit and later found a rubbish chute right next to their main entrance door. 2.1. Even if this isn’t poor in terms of Shapes and Forms, it can still impact the future resale value of the home. 3. Other things to consider include where the afternoon sun falls, Eight House or Flying Stars suitability for the breadwinner, and related factors. 4. For low-floor units, especially those on the 1st to 3rd storey, be aware of sharp roofs from clubhouses or function rooms. These create sha qi, which can be difficult to fix. It’s not possible to completely shield the frontage of the flat. 5. Don’t overlook the location of the barbeque pit. Imagine on a Friday evening, weekend, or public holiday when the smell of barbequing can reach your unit. 6. Consider if the unit is located near or facing the guardhouse, drop-off point, or vehicle entry/exit ramps. 7. Also check if the unit is near or facing the central rubbish bin centre or transformer room. These are just some important points to keep in mind.

Bedok Residences Condo: Mounting a TV on a Solid Concrete or Dry Wall 1. Please refer to the sample layout for type PH10. 2. In this illustration, the TV console is intentionally positioned on the same wall as bedroom 4. 3. Based on the layout, it appears that the wall between the living room and bedroom 4 is a solid concrete or pre-cast wall, rather than a dry wall. As a result, there is less concern about mounting a TV on this wall and EMF radiation affecting the other side, specifically bedroom 4. 4. If you do not plan to place a bed-head as shown in the bedroom 4 sample, then these considerations, especially regarding a dry wall, would not apply.

Bedok Residences Condo: Kitchen Layout and Practical Considerations 1. Please take a look at this kitchen layout plan. 2. While the sink and stove should ideally be separated or kept a distance apart—such as around 60 cm if they are on a straight line— 3. In this layout (PH11), the stove and sink are positioned on separate islands. In theory, this is a good or even excellent arrangement. 4. However, after cooking, you often need to carry items like a wok to the sink for washing. This design does not provide a smooth workflow. 5. Some owners choose to remove the kitchen door, replace it with a sliding door, or install a barn-style door on the exterior wall of the kitchen. 5.1. It’s important to be cautious with these changes. Since the stove is located near the kitchen entrance, windy days can pose safety hazards depending on how the wind flows. 5.2. For example, if someone—especially a child—walks into the kitchen while strong winds blow toward the entrance, it can be dangerous. 5.3. If strong winds come in through the kitchen, with either a sliding door or no door, a wind vortex may blow hot air toward anyone standing in front of the stove. 6. There is also a risk of the flame going out on a gas stove due to gusts of wind. This issue would not occur with an electric or induction stove.
