There are many things that define luxurious, not necessary high ceiling. It could be marble flooring, premium appliances and sanitary wares, etc.

Or maybe actually hdb is atas ppl just don’t know
But seriously it’s probably built using ppvc so it cannot be taller. So they term Lux base on fittings and other things in the development

Hdb ceiling height is 2.6m

 

[halfnode]

Hdb ceiling height is 2.6m

top floor is 2.8m

Now hdb also have 4+ m ceiling … is atas hdb?… and not referring to only top floor..

 

[Perishable]

top floor is 2.8m

the default for hdb is 2.6m even top flr. Sure, there are some with 2.8m on hdb top floor but the vast majority are 2.6m even for top flr

Condo usually at least 2.8m if not 3m as an industry standard

 

[andyhtc]

Older mass-market condos are about 3 m whereas the new ones are 2.8 m except for the ground floor and penthouse which can go from 3 to 3.5 m.

Just **** the ceiling la. Ppl don’t stare at the ceiling all day. Furthermore, you are sitting and lying down at home. Not like marching around the whole house right? The standard 2.8m +/-10cm won’t really make sure a difference

Some would like a slightly higher ceiling to build a mezzanine. So that difference makes a difference.

No 4.5m forget about mezzanine la. Even give you 3:2m also not easy. Too restrictive do already also not shiok.

agree, 3.2 means only about 3m to be divided into two levels

It does add a degree to 'vastness' to the space.

My place is 3.2m and it does give a 'bigger' feel to the space..

Most sinkies are short anyway, so 2.8m is considered luxury

Next time try tell buyer you plan to sell 15% more ex due to the 15% extra airspace. If the buyer pay 15%, just buy us beer

The only realistic reason is if u install ceiling fans and with lower ceiling height. IF N WHEN u swing your toddler / baby up in the air to play. U may risk injuring her….

I go visit my in laws. Always reminded be careful don’t swing them up to the fan

Shiok also when you have a living room hanging crystals light. And buy real art paintings on the walls. And some more, got more storage cum display spaces till high up. Got hidden wiring and piping higher inside ceilings, no need IDs to hide for you.

3.2m is nice! Btw are your doors also taller than normal? realized mine goes up to 2.4m (usual seems to be 2.1m)

If anything higher ceiling height, the cons is cost go up for reno (more sf to cover for feature wall, carpentry, ziptracks) etc...
but worth it

Not forgetting the 'additional' costs to install anything above 2.8m.

There are some materials that cater to standard 2.8m height. There are laminates that are 10ft aka 3m. Anything higher than 3m, you will see a joint. Decorative items like fluted panels are up to 2.8m height. Wallpaper no issue.

True, any carpentry above 2.8 is extra cost..

I went for movable off the shelf furniture..
Didn't go for built in at all due to height etc..
Too high the shelves above also not practical enough to use.
