One issue with renovating house- to deal with existing beam and tiang that cannot be moved. Especially when it's an intermediate terrace. Like ours.
Intact. Photo taken a day before renovation work commenced. Almost in its original form except dinding putih kami cat kaler chiffon and pasang grill.
Almost a month after. Dinding intact tapi siling dah dirobohkan.
Dinding dah roboh. See that tiang nan sebatang tu? And tepi tu ada salur paip. Memang asalnya ada kat situ dalam embedded dalam dinding simen.Tiang tu tiang support, tak boleh alih.
Amboi Adik, ambik kesempatan nampak? Challenge - Macamana nak sorok tiang dengan salur paip tu?
Mula-mula nak letak sederet tiang kat situ. Mind you satu tiang tu RM250! Busuk-busuk pun kena ada dalam 4 to 5 batang tiang jugak. Much cheaper option - wall up to conceal tiang and salur paip but we leave a bit of an open space.
Done. Cemented and plastered. Siling pun dah pasang. Lubang kat siling tu for aircond cassette.
Seen from other angle after dinding dirobohkan. I suggested to wall up entirely about 6 feet belah kiri and another 6 belah kanan to balance up. Tapi Tebby lebih suka dindingkan sebelah aje.
This is how it would look.
Challenge - apa pulak nak letak kat lubang tu? Book shelves? Open pigeon-hole? Leave it be?
wah pasang aircond yg dari atas tu ek...awesome la rumah nanti...x sabarnye nak tgk rumah akak siap....lubang tu buat something yg x menghalang cahaya masuk..otherwise d ruang next to it jadi gelap...letak kaca bercorak pun cantek kak....
ReplyDeletepartition boleh letak buku dan decor pun nice..
ReplyDeletebuat letak buku! pigeon hole, i guess
ReplyDeletethanks friends. decor cum storage eh. just read an article, a good bookcase should be able to showcase itself, not just books. whatever it is gonna be (which en Tebby will decide), it must be low maintenance hihi
ReplyDeletebila nak buat makan2 kat rumah akak lepas dah abis renovate ni
ReplyDeleteaida ~ ha ha.. advance soalan mu itu. insyaAllah.
ReplyDeleteNak tanya ada satu laur paip kat siling tu (drp toilet atas ke?) so, what happen to it? tak nampak in the lastest pic. Kalau tak letak dinding kat salur paip tu tak blh ke?
ReplyDeleteBoleh tak share what did you do with the ceiling, all plastered? Ke just cornice? I have been one of you loyal readers, thank you so much for sharing. Err, nak tanyalah hari tu, saya tanya pasal your upper floor. Rumah you ada raised roof tak? some people referred it as air well? I wonder if it's going to be so dark if the house is extended both front and back. Ada tips to share... Mcm mana nak make sure sufficient amount of light in the middle part of the house (both lower and upper floors). Do you get advise from any architect? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteNoor ~ thanks for reading this humble blog of mine. menjawab soalan..
ReplyDelete1. salur paip tu embedded dalam dinding tu. that area ada low beam so by doing that the beam would not be weirdly there. extended area tu we all buat raised floor and use laminated flooring instead of extending it with marble (lantai sekarang broken marble) dinding tu some kind of separator between living and tpt tgk tv. if budget permits, boleh alih kan those pipping actually but we go for the most cost effective ways hihi.
2. ceiling all plastered sebab we do almost all downlight. and no raised roof. that will cost more sebab nak ubah existing roof structure. area tangga tu memang a bit dark nanti, kena pasang lampu. no natural light. we got few opinions from contractors and one architect. kalau nak natural light, better jgn wall up tangga tu. but i have reservation on that because kalau x wall up memang tetamu boleh nampak sampai tingkat atas. for windows, we go for tingkap labuh and besar. ctc kat dapur, tingkap 4 daun. depan tingkap 8 kaki lebar.
bila reno rumah teres ni, ada certain things we want to do but we cannot do. due to beams and tiang and all yang tak boleh alih. good to deal with registered contractor so they won't simply ubah apa2 yang tak patut.
do share with me Noor when you do your house ye.
Thank you for your replies. I'm not an artistic person. I don't have any ideas of colour tones etc... malu le pulak :-) Whatever it is, it will take another few months, before my tabung penuh :-) The earliest would be middle of next year. Itupun kalau tak de aral melintang. Thank you so much for your kind replies on my enquiries, I do appreciate it.
