In House No. 83 Part 1, we saw how the place looked like before and during renovations. In this part, the house is just taking shape. You can see the difference that has been made in the transformation.
The front of the house has been extended by 5 feet... which actually made a lot of difference in terms of space.
We also added a balcony...
The back of the house was also extended, also by 5 feet. While it made no difference to the size of the rooms upstairs, there is an addition of an "open-concept" bathroom to each bedroom.
Basically, we left the bathroom open to enable natural sunlight to come in to the room via the bathroom entrance and tempered glass wall of the shower area.
Downstairs living room has been turned into something like a communal hang out zone... we'll soon furnish it with bean bags and cushions to give the room a warm homely feel.
All the bathrooms typically have a raw look, with just bare concrete walls. This is intentional because this house is basically an investment and will be sold after a few years. Normally, the new owner does not share the same taste as the previous owner in terms of colour and tiles. While wall colours are relatively easy to change, tiles need to be hacked off which costs a lot of money. So, a bare concrete wall will enable the new owner to do as he pleases when he takes over the house in the future....

The bare concrete walls actually look like some shabby chic concept. Very "zen" like and cool.
