Tiniest Penthouse in Singapore

If your waist is bigger than 32" you can forget about using the bathroom...

[Vincegoh]

reminds me of suites@topaz.. the 2 "bedroom" penthouse is power. one of the so called bedroom is smaller than a bomb shelter. maybe can fit one baby cot nia.

I think if it was a spiral staircase instead, there could be more space.

Parc elegance got a few 1 bedroom penthouse around 775sqft only.

[Poloclub]

[Estella83]

this one 474sf oni leh

[radha08]

this one 474sf oni leh

wow even if u reverse the number still 474...

[fan]

The bathroom door/opening is really too small what a squeeze to split 474 over 2 levels. Single level 474 is acceptable to me though..

it ish a magic number for one bedder haha

with this current type of staircase, maybe adds up to more square feet for calculation?

I am thinking the staircase doesn't add to the GFA...

[Kanarazu]

Potentially can extend a loft Platform from the mid-stop of the staircase at the area above the kitchen.

the staircase is counted, both at the floor plate and at the loft level above.
but this counts towards developers' total gfa and i think not part of the bonus 10% gfa. spiral staircase prob also double count, but more space efficient & cheaper cos smaller footprint.

Staircases

a All staircases within a building regardless of
material constitute GFA.
b Staircases at intermediate levels have to be
computed as GFA.
c Scissor staircases have to be counted twice. ie
separately.

Note: The floor plate containing the staircase has to be
counted once. Staircases collapses upwards has to be
counted at the upper floor plate. Intermediate staircase
has to be counted according to the number of
intermediate levels.

Wow... never knew that... thanks!

That means if the staircase is included in the GFA, the effective/usable GFA is much less than advertised.

ai yah, developer next time should provide option to subsitute the staircase with a ladder, can save much space and cost

i think not possible la, cos developer got to submit and confirm plans. some more got to use up the gfa to maximise profits. ladder to access loft will surely receive have no/low interest, esp when condo is already so expensive.

Floor under the pitch roof
If the height of the roof measured from the springing
line to the ridge is > 1.5m, the load bearing floor under
the roof, regardless of accessibility or use (except for
M&E use) is computed as GFA.



M & E floors
M&E floors with headroom > 1.5 m constitute GFA.
The height is measured from the floor to the underside
of the upper floor.


i think VOID not counted to gfa, unless part of high the above?
