5 Things You Can Now Do in Your “Beamless” BTO

Good news folks who are planning to ballot for a unit at Tengah’s upcoming November 2022 projects, Garden Waterfront I and II @ Tengah. As a reward for being pioneers in a brave new world, you will be pioneers inBTO units that have no ceiling beams!

For current BTO homeowners, you’ll understand how structural ceiling beams have always been a huge pain in the butt, as evidenced by these homes:

The built-in wardrobe is partially eaten by the structural ceiling beam.

得益于结构梁，功能墙设计无法无缝遍历整个房屋的长度。

Our articleheretalks about some ways to overcome this structural ugliness.

如果这种“无光束”设计在Tengah即将到来的BTO中受到了广泛的欢迎，我们只能希望将来将其带到其他发展。就目前而言，我们其余的人只能嫉妒现在越来越多的设计思想：

1. You can now decorate your ceiling with abandon

现在没有更多的横梁，您的天花板现在是空白的帆布，用于更大胆的设计。由于该设计现在能够遍布更大的空间，因此结果将感觉更加宏伟，更令人印象深刻。从木板和珠板到墙纸和凹槽面板，您现在可以将第五堵墙变成适当的焦点：

And if you are missing those beams, you can always incorporate them back for a chic farmhouse look. Of course, this time, you actually get to choose how long and where you want the beams to be.

2. You can now do up your layout however you wish

由于这些结构梁，因此无需再遵循HDB的建议，就您应该为用餐区或家庭办公室分配多少空间。您现在可以根据需要安排布局。更改标准方向！使您的工作站比客厅更大！疯了！具有巨大的灵活性的设计责任是人们的，因此请确保事情仍然保持别致且功能齐全，例如在这些房屋中：

3. You can now incorporate more storage

随着BTOS的越来越小，这种“无光束”设计应该是一种极大的缓解，因为这意味着现在可以将额外的空间替换为全高存储。在一个小空间中，总是欢迎更多的存储空间。

对于那些想在主卧室和另一间普通卧室之间设置该步入式衣柜的人们，房间之间的额外天花板不再是一个问题，您可以将壁橱提升到天花板上的高处。利用额外的空间，将它们变成开放的小熊作为行李或绳索中的绳子，以使那里的物品井井有条。

4. You can now make your home look taller than ever

Relying on a design trick to make your home appear taller can have its limitations, especially when there's a pesky structural ceiling beam blocking said trick from realising its full potential. But with "beamless" ceilings, you now can incorporate all these neat ideas to make your ceiling appear taller than ever.

Use full-height glass panels:

Go with mirrored ceilings:

保持墙壁和天花板相同的颜色：

Take dividers all the way to the ceiling:

5. You can now do (proper) raised platforms

Because of the “beamless” design, you can probably do up a decent platform now. HDB currently has regulations surrounding platform design, one of which recommends that you keep to at least a 2.4-metre distance between the platform and ceiling. While you probably still won’t be able to do up a storage platform legally, you can design a pretty ledge that can help divvy up your spaces or turn your home into a modern ryokan.
