Great Architectural Design

 

Lovely Lotus Flower in Bloom in the Legend
 

Bright purple bougainvilleas - my favourite colour
 

The pool for socialising - one of the three pools in the condo

My clients, Peter Lim and his family decided to upgrade to a condominium nearby. Hence they asked me to help market their private apartment at J.C. Court which is located at Joo Chiat Place. One evening, Peter's wife, Jin Lu, decided to show me the condominium which they are moving into.

The Legend is painted in a subdued yellowish brown, with dark brown for some parts, giving it a cosy ambience. I was surprised that there are 3 swimming pools in the condomium with slightly over 100 units. The architects have cleverly made full use of the space. The lap pool is located between two blocks. It is a full lap but the width is wide enough for two to three swimmers at any one time. The social pool is for those who want to relax and chit chat even as they enjoy the cool water. Hence there are a few jacuzzis near the social pool. The Bar-B-Q pits and poolside party area are also by the social pool. There is a special pool for children. Jin and I walked around the condominium and were surprised to find lovely flowers in full bloom. There is even an open air badminton court near the Club House. The Balinese design of the condo gives it a homely ambience. I told my client that I like her choice very much.

I feel happy for my clients for they will be able to enjoy the facilities in their new home. Their two sons, Joel and Jaren can have more opportunites to improve their swimming in the lap pool.

It is interesting to note that most people tend to move around within their own vicinity. Those who live in the East will move around the East, while those who are used to the West, will also tend to buy properties nearby.

May God bless Peter and his lovely family. Money can always buy us a house, but not a home.
