District 4
1 Keppel Bay Drive, Singapore 098012

What are some of the noteworthy Condominium features?
Corals At Keppel Bay is a leasehold condominium completed in 2016. The development (of 366 units) boasts an exclusive scenic waterfront living. Its avant-garde design is by the same architecture company as the Reflections at Keppel Bay condominium. It has more carpark lots (418) than units (366), 4 Electric Vehicle (EV) charging lots. The development has different types of water features and great breathtaking open sea view for some of its blocks.

What are the renovation challenges the homeowners face?
Some of the balconies are quirky and unusual shaped, and this makes installing balcony window treatments like ZipTrack a challenge. In addition, the units are quite small and therefore, furniture which can pull double or triple duty helps to maximise space usage. For certain stacks, some of the units are too close together and hence, curtains and other privacy window treatments are recommended.

What are the renovation challenges the homeowners face?
Aside from some of its odd-sized floor plan, some of the units have big slanted and round pillars right inside the rooms. Therefore, customised carpentry is needed to minimise the space wasted by the odd locations of these pillars. Homeowners can consult with their interior design professionals on how to hide or make those pillars useful.

What are the renovation challenges the homeowners face?
Some of the units come with multiple bay windows and therefore to maximise the interiors, homeowners can consider ways to utilise the space in the bay window. Furthermore, since the bathrooms are not equipped with windows, installation of ventilation fans is a must. Also, the bathroom walls should use anti-mold paint to keep mold at bay.

District 9
130 Cairnhill Rd, Singapore 229717

All the all units enjoy full height windows throughout and mostly made of 4 bedrooms. Each unit enjoys the exclusive privacy since there is only 1 unit per floor. Furthermore, the units are fitted with wine fridge and Miele stainless steel appliances.

What are the renovation challenges the homeowners face?
The apartment's unique cylindrical-shape meant that most of the furniture needs to be customised to maximise space.  Furthermore, there are 2 round pillars in the living room area. Hence,  homeowners can utilise the right decor to minimize the appearance of the pillars while expressing their personal design style. One quick way is to cover the pillars with long hanging plants to usher in some greenery indoors or use mirror stickers to reflect more light and draw attention away from the pillars.
