bigreader and oklouise thanks a lot for your comments.

the floorplan is essentially set (discovered Houzz Advice too late...). It will be just me living there (i.e. no investment / rental, etc) and the bathroom with the bathtub is my preference. The original floorplan had two bathrooms in the same place, but as I'll have very rarely guests staying over, I traded off the added privacy (and potential resale / rental benefit) for my personal preference of a large, separate tub.

The bedroom is about 3.50m by 3.10m in the main area, which isn't that large but should be more than enough just for me (the double bed drawn is from the developer, not myself). It's pretty much the size from the original floorplan, and my preference is for a bigger living space over sleeping space. I might be overestimating how big the bedroom is, though. One of the reasons I went along with the separate laundry is the increase in storage space (i.e. vacuum cleaner and similar things) as the kitchen cabinet space and bedroom robe are limited.

I hadn't thought about a toilet in the laundry, but somehow I think the space might be too small and the cost in terms of storage space might be too high, but it's tempting.

Just had a quick look and noticed that the sliding doors off the living space slide in different directions on each of the plans.?

I would move the fridge over beside the front door, being built it would give cover to the kitchen bench

me me, there is no explicit space to hang clothes, but until now I managed fine with clothes/drying racks on balconies and inside. I'll probably try to install something in the laundry space to cover at least the smaller items.

siriuskey, thanks, I hadn't realized that they switched the sliding door direction (I assume you mean the door between bathroom and bedroom). No idea why they did that, but don't think it will have big implications (though I am considering getting powerpoints on both sides of that wall, so in the bath and bedroom).

About moving the fridge, the developer had somehow managed to drop the dishwasher from the plans (not exactly sure how that happened...and it took me asking for detailed plans to actually notice it), so they are currently reorganizing the kitchen to fit it back in. I'll see what they come up with and then figure out anything like that.

No, the most important door, the sliders to the balcony, you must confirm with them which way you want them, I have a friend who just recently over looked this

ah, thanks, will check with the developer.

I've to say I don't have a strong opinion on the direction (but then I might be missing something). Reason is that I don't expect to use the balcony (fear of heights) that much and there is the other door on the small balcony side as well.

Not sure whether it's irony, but a guy with fear of heights buys a high-rise apartment.... but the weird thing is that I am perfectly with the height as long as there is a glas pane between me and the depth...

my suggestion include an L shaped counter 70cm and 60cm deep and about 1550 x 1550 with a single drawer (shoe polish, laces, odd sox, scissors, thread, needle..?) with matching border across the front of the small sink and open below for standing tall washing baskets directly on the floor, a 60cm wide broom cabinet would be enough for vacuum, mop, broom etc and a 1500 steel rod will support dozens of drip drying clothes, a 90cm wide cabinet above the washer would store cleaning products (and some kitchen pantry overflow?) and a 75cm cavity slider should be OK in the doorway

and a basic folding clothes drying rack can be suspended from hooks on the bare wall when not in use

oklouise, thanks a lot, this looks good. I'll try to end up with something like that.
