Inside the new apartment

These are not the most amazingly clear pictures, but I took them at lunchtime today during an open house at the apartment complex.  We have bought the display apartment (one of three they have) so it has furniture in it, but that's going.  The few curtains and lights will remain, as will the laminate flooring and the kitchen.  Lots to be done to make it a home, but a lovely canvas to work on.

Dining room , balcony in background, living room in dark distance (dull day, no flash photography on my tablet computer)

Dining room looking towards the other wing of the apartment block, high fence is for sports field, terraces far left above the underground car park, moss type of grass on roof.

Five burner gas hot plate, the two slim drawers below are all for cutlery, cooking utensils - soft closing.

Kitchen is white cupboards, black stone tops, playing fields in distance (no nosey neighbours).

Living room (unflattering picture, but it is large).

We are on the ground floor, but half a floor above the pathway.  No nosey neighbours this side as well.

We thought about creating a walk in wardrobe like we had in Brisbane, but sadly the dimensions don't work out, so it will be normal flush wardrobes along this right hand wall.  We'll get them manufactured for us.

Interesting design feature - half the main bedroom wall slides into the cavity wall thus creating an enormous sense of space when we are home, and it slides closed when we have guests or it is too cold. Of course there is a proper bedroom door on the other wall from the hall.

We have auto opening doors operating from a button on a key chain leading into the vestibule.  We walk up ten slate tiled steps to the front door.  An electric door bell is hard wired (no more dud battery chimes).  A videophone is connected to the street entrance.  The window in the distance illuminates stairs to the basement car park, but the tiled column to the right of the picture has an elevator also servicing the basement and upper floors.

From the edge of the balcony to the far bedroom windows is around 17m. This section is 5m35 wide, but across the whole width of the living room to dining room wall is 10m92.
