Roof Terrace

[Chowyunfatt]

Can anyone tell me if it is legal to build a Kitchen on a roof terrace?

 

I've a Private Roof Terrace which is open & I would like to build an open

concept Kitchen to do my cooking, so that my indoors would be clean.

 

The area is totally covered & no one is able to look in from the outside.

 

Its a Condo not a Landed, so what are the Legality issues here?

Anyone here has the same experience?

 

Thanks.

If it is a condo , i think you need to seek approval from your mgt commitee also.

We tell you can but your condo management say cannot also LPPL......

 

Ask your condo management whether can erect a kitchen..

 

mostly they will tell you to erect only in bed...

from my knowledge - no. they will cite loading issues etc (roof terraces are not built to withstand much weight). they will also say roof terraces were not specifically designed for heavy cooking (so even if you cite BBQ etc, they will say those are *extremely* occasional).

 

however,i'm a little unsure about your roof terrace since you first say its open (unsheltered) then you say its covered. please advise which one it is. if its currently open (no roof), then placing any kind of permanent structure to cover the area will result in exceeding GFA, which is a big no no.

Whether it's legal or not, you'll have to get pass many layers of office, it seems.

 

Just get a few of those portable electric cooking stoves and cook up a storm since nobody can see...hoho.

If you build a kitchen on your roof top, i think your neighbor confirmed will complain that your smoke will dirty their place.

Its actually an open roof terrace, I've got 4 walls covering it, but the top is open.

I've got a short trellis followed by an awning to cover it from the rain & sun.

the open roof terrace is only good for occasional BBQ, suntan, night tan if you call it..

Building a kitchen? Hell no way..

if no one can see what you doing, then why you bother can or cannot

 

roof terrace can do many things, like:

 

1) roof garden

 

 

2) Garden with Water

3) mega jacuzzi

4) RC heli launching pad / RC plane runway

5) water proof sound system for roof top naked parties

You are partially right my friend, cannot see, but can hear & smell...

 

I just want to know my rights so that I can avoid any problems that might arise in the future.

aiya...TS instead of asking for opinion from MCF....why not just shoot one email or call to your condo mgt and confirm with them. if they approve then good if not then can go back ZZzzzz.

Another elite MCF spotted.

 

Watches photos with twin sinks and merenti wood sculpture....

Roof terrace kitchen.....

Replacing aircons and tubings inside wardrobe false partition, etc.

 

All points to very elite residences.

I'm not asking for Opinions, I'm asking for experience or people who know the rules & regulations to this subject.

 

Condo Mgt will always say NO to everything, this is to ease their problems & work load.

 

It is always good to know your rights, so you don't do what you shouldn't & not just listen to Mgt alone.

A second opinion is always helpful.
