What about one legged tables? This depends on the centre-of-gravity of the table. For example, if one leans hard on one side of the table; can the table "topple" down?

The Atria@ Meyer Nowadays, the guard house in a condo is often done as an after thought. I find the guard house of The Atria @ Meyer both stylish and of timeless beauty. Whenever I pass-by this structure (the guard house); I often, pause to look at it. And it truly looked beautiful which ever side, front, left or right one looks at it...

If one is driving along Upper Paya Lebar Road, one cannot help to notice a crisp and bright building: This building is the Kim Loong Building: Under the Five elements concept: 1. Rectangular shape represents earth element. 2. Yellow also represents earth element. 3. The red stripes represent Fire element. Under the Five elements concept; fire supports earth. And this building is build to take advantage of it's surroundings by applying the Five elements concept by being a "strong" or bigger earth element. Although this Kim Loong building is located at LITTLE ROAD. It is not so little after all if we take into consideration the Five…

With the extended overhang above this 2nd storey stack/unit at block 664A Punggol Drive; One can notice that even at around 3.30pm, the extended overhang roof helps to shade the fa?ade of this unit's room. However, in general, the lower the stack/unit; the greater the range of shade vs afternoon sun hours.

This private development @18A Fort Road(under construction)comprising of a total of 12 storeys is tall and thin. Not because it is now clad in a green dust/protective screen that makes it a wood element; but instead, the characteristics of a wood building is that it is thin and (reasonably tall). Contrast this to the building seen to the right of the photo; The Meyer Residence; which is rectangular in shape and is considered as belonging to the earth element. Thus, this wood element building can take advantage of The Meyer Residence when it comes of age (TOP). P.S. Apologies if the building looks like it is leaning to the right. Blame it on my photo taking instead…

Where perhaps what the architect wants to highlight is more prominent when the building is viewed at night.

Related: Which units are lucky at Skyville @ Dawson? +++ Even if an architect is only paid to design the interior layout; at least; the architect should try to put themselves "in the shoes of home owner". How true; always that: "We stay there, you don't applies!". Just take a look at this HDB 4 bedroom flat layout in some of the stacks of Skyville @ Dawson. (See attachment). A. THE LIVING ROOM 1. Although the living room width is of a generous or rather "too generous" size; instead; the architect should have should have an allowance at marking in red "A" for a reasonable sized dining table, there. 2. As a result of this no…

The Buddhist Swastika The Buddhist were the first to use the Swastika sign. Which during World War II had a really bad name. As the German Nazi's copied and use a similar design. In the photos; this temple had used the Swastika design on both their fence and main gate.

1. Nowadays, many homes especially apartments: HDB/EC/Condos are getting smaller and smaller. 2. Often, many homeowners tend to install shelving units to fit exactly into these bomb shelters. 3. And in many instances; these bomb shelters are filled fully. And what a chore to remove them temporarily; for example if there is a "emergency" exercise. 4. Thus, it makes sense if the "emergency" is only temporary;to have the bomb shelter built-into the exit staircases. 4.1 As the houseowners do not need tospent time and perhaps lots of effort to remove all the items in the bomb shelter and even try todismantle the shelving. 5.Of course, on the trade-off; ifthere is a real e…

This boutique freehold development located in district 15 has interior layouts that are well-thought out. Even if it is a 1 bedder, 2 bedder or 3 bedders; the architect has managed to fully maximize the floor area. If one can see, in this 2 bedder illustration; the entire unit is a rectangular shape with a minor extension at the main entrance area. The rest of this small development's other layouts also share a well thought out design. By the way, the small size of the unit is made-up by huge

This stall must be pretty "old". As one no longer sees such "raised lettering" signages anymore. The signage was very popular in the 1970s to 1980's. Nowadays, such advertisement signages are virtually flat pieces.... Therefore, this stall must have been around for quite some time. Location: In Jurong East Market (next to Parc Oasis) condo.

I have taken a photo of the distinctive walk-up staircase design with it's unique U shaped and a distinctive circular "pot-hole" close to the Top of the stairs. Close-by, Block 10A Boon Tiong Road has just TOP. However, it's multi-storey carpark is still under-construction. But, I have taken several snap-shot of it's "protruding" staircase leading towards the upper floors of the multi-storey carpark. You can see from the photos that this new carpark had copied the same design from the old Tiong Bahru Flats. Specifically from the photo taken of Blk 28 Tiong Bahru.

Another additional refinement is that the multi-storey carpark has an access link at the third storey (3rd level) link to a block. And that block has an additional link to the 2nd block. For example, at block 312C, there is a 3rd storey link. And blocks 312C and 312B are futher linked at level 3. See photo illustrations. This 3rd storey link serves an added function: no longer need to construct a roof for the ground level link between say blocks 312C and 312B. What is impressive is that the 3rd storey link of blocks 312C and 312B provides a ready shelfter for those walking at ground level from one block to the other. These two enhancements: the covered walkway + central b…

The Fullerton Hotel, formerly the General Post Office and the office of Dr Goh Keng Swee, our former Finance Minister, features an inspirational bronze statue of the late Mr Ng Teng Fong at its lobby - Far East Organization and Sino Group. NG TENG FONG 黄延方 1928 - 2010 I will dwell in the house of the lord forever, Psalm 23:6 A firm believer in the virtues of frugality, hard work and progressiveness, Ng Teng Fon considered himself simply an "ordinary working man".
