I hv no absolute idea what this "Eames" thingey is...

[East Lover]

This i think we hv to play the 'wait-and-see' game. If a waterproof blind can be fixed and there's minimal splash of water. I'll be more than contented.

Is it true that the lower the floor the more 'collection'? Flood gets me more worried! Btw, I haven't done an experiment on it yet! kekekek

In fact we can team up to ask developer install a window or glass panel for the backyard. In Tropica, there are some addititional glass panel added in the lobby for those 2 bedders unit, after they collected key. they told me initially they have rain problem also, after complaint complaint complaint, developer installed glass panel for FREE!

So if we really face the raining problem, just compliant to SL, if half of the units make noise, that's BIG already.

big difference between common area and own premise wor...

if u have a nice yard(not hidden), sure got rain problems....lol

[East Lover]

Huat is Huat but if my stuffs can't migrate with me then I shall stay put. No way I will move...hehehe...

I was just thinking. Does that mean most of the condo owners keep the "barren balcony land" empty apart from probably plants and flowerpots? Since it's not waterproof even simple furnitures can't exist there right unless they are plastic or made of glass. Am I right?

i don't know... but i'm so eager to build up my mini garden facing the beautiful water

Let me hold a house warming party at WV by X'mas of 2013! hahaha

but if we team up, in worst scenario no free glass panel/windows, at least we can gain the persmission of install those stuff. as I know now it's not allowed to install window. Hopefully we can have better discount, as we must install certain standard pattern in order to unify outlook. that's condo, a lot of rules here and there...

btw, even window allowed, for such big balcony, must be very costly.... must negotiate for good discount

Really? If I can hv windoes installed, that means i can put at least two chests and 2 cabinets there after sealing up the wall!! That will be fantastic!!! If blind then rain comes in... i better not!!! Dangerous!

Later come hm all my furnitures floating like Kengar mentioned!

If this can't and that also cannot then really headache seriously. That place behind there can help to accomodate many things should it be kept dry. Else no choice sis, i hv to give up the unit, it's alright i still hv a home to stay in street 71.

yes, then we can have extended space!!!
which type do you like?

[East Lover]

If possible, we should fight for this kind of windows, can open much more wider, so no raining time, we still can have balcony feel, also easy to try clothes...


What's the correct term for this kind of window frame?

the windows open inside? like that eat space.

[McKinnon]

bifold casement windows, but then it'll defeat the purpose of having a balcony.

Thanks. That can be only used in backyard balcony, of course not in front balcony lah.

if it's really approved, we can block the rain effectively and yet have balcony feel - in fact, how many of us really want a balcony in the backyard? it's SL wants to make more money, then come out such idea of huge backyard balcony

[land118]

Personally, they should have got 1 type that folds outwards rather than inwards, so that doesn't give one the feel of obstruction and less space...

[East Lover]

Can this type of windows folded all the way to the end? or only "bifold"

[East Lover]

that photo is for demo purpose. definitely have to request open outside

[East Lover]

technically inwards or outwards should be no problem. We surely will ask for folding outwards provided developer allows us to install

[East Lover]

Inside of "seaview", i will put some bamboo plants in the 2nd balcony, so my "japanese room" wil really have some japanese style hehehe

[McKinnon]

why dun you just do sliding windows? sleek and doesn't eat into space.

[devilplate]

sliding windows easy to open and close and looks nicer too but it 'collects' rainwater....and rainwater may even leaked in if waterproofing is not done properly....one of my apts got such problems

the above type of windows will have similar problems....best is still casement windows

as for yard....just do blinds lor....hehe yard area get wet abit ok mah?

[East Lover]

how much can they slide? I guess there will be at least 5 to 6 pieces, the maximum they can slide is 3 into 1 right? i want open space, yet can keep it dry during raining time, so i thought that kind of floding window (if they can fold all the way to the end) is good choice?

gd choice but not so easy to 'slide' after sometime

[McKinnon]

depends on number of tracks la..

5 pieces on 5 tracks you can slide all into 1 piece width.

actually hor, dunnid open so big one la.. open 50% just nice.

You mean a mini garden at the main balcony? Yes yes, i am planning to do one too but have no head or tail how to start. Want to double it as a form of safety deterrent too. Any recommendations?
