$ 14 million and no man-cave, game room or private McDonalds. What kind of con job are you guys running here?
No VR setup how to enjoy latest AAA titles
Beware of Company: Superfat Designs, Principal Designer: Lin Weizhang.
For $14mil, the furniture looks like its from ikea and the overall design looks ordinary
The location and floor prob cost around 3-5 million most likely. And the super rich do not mind paying premium for exclusivity. You can hardly find a house like this in Singapore, and take not GCB can cost 15m upwards to like 50m
i mean those are legitimate designers furniture.....
Totally agreed... Maybe we set out expectation too high due to the property price.. It looks not much different with other my nicehomegallery and condo show flat
It’s quite a big house. Definitely a high mark up on the price but considering the cost of land in Singapore, the location and the view, it’s not too bad
I think it’s because of the location and it’s accessibility
1 million for house
13 million for view
If you are paying that much, at least hire an interior designer with impeccable taste. The current design doesn't do justice to that price tag at all.
dchemicalbro kinda agree
I agree with all the nasty comments here..
Suddenly everyone's an expert designer
Because the design is so bad that a proper trained architect can do a far better job.
Cuz this looks like a 11year old design with moms 10% help
because this is actual literal trash
I think the real point is that the average client walking into this flat would be likely to have the same emotions. People can be put off by some pretty minor things, even if they could easily afford to change them, it's one reason why staging is normally so neutral.
I only saw 50k worth of furniture
My house is 80 k worth of furniture
This is 120 k worth of furniture
The rooms are tiny. If this person is really rich he would knock some walls down. Yeah I know it’s an expensive apartment but it’s too practical in look. I’m surprised it’s not a duplex up on the top. Really feels cramped. My furniture also is like a ballerina because it’s so light because it’s ikea.
They couldn’t pick a better day to film. The weather looks like China smog.
Talk so much go and get that money you lazy prick
z is that one like from yourself
its VERY bad. First of all this isnt actually the penthouse unit(it's actually James Dyson's $53M apartment)
Second of all this land is on lease(99 years just like a HDB)
The view of the straights is also not that impressive, u can easily get such a view if you buy a seaside apartment in Singapore.
For almost half the per square foot price, u can buy a condo in Singapore in a much more prestigious location such as Orchard Road,which won't be worth $0 at the end of 99 years(because they are freehold) and prob has a better view(aka the Singapore skyline)
No wonder none of these 4 "penthouse" units have been sold yet
This is not the penthouse unit lah. Dyson’s one is the penthouse. This is the neighbor’s.
@@avijeet1670 Wallich Residences is the top property loser of 2020 by price sold by sellers base on how much they paid. Go google. Lol.
"we selected the furniture to preserve the view"
.....Doesn't show the view
Its to keep it for the person who bought it for 14 million
Agree
That’s why I never bought any Dyson products. Same as this apartment. It’s Overpriced.
10 seats attached to the dinning table? I don't think 10 people can even fit into this apartment. Too small!
Kinda disappointed with the space and layout of the house lmao was expecting super grand things like maybe a dining area separate frm the kitchen or like at least a walk in wardrobe?
The dining room table legs is troublesome as it blocks the person sitting adjacent from it
you pay the premium so that you can always a door away from repairing your dyson for free..
Lol but the truth is James Dyson will actually never meet you if you lived there, he's not on the same floor(idk why they call this penthouse because this apartment isn't on the top floor)
His house was listed for S$108million while this one is just S$17 million
Only the rich have adult children still growing up. For the rest of us, we have children adults that are already grown up and trying to meet ends meet.
Be an entrepreneur then lol. Have some courage will you?
Yeah normal Singaporean
99% of us chao sinkies wont even get to half this luxury in life and it’s our own city view. F.
same for all of us, the kids can’t afford to buy a home any more
your insightful comment wins
This kind of stuff so not important...in today's world having mountain/forest/sea as view is the true luxury n having nature as neighbour is most valuable
New York penthouses have better designs n furnitures..and High ceilings
It’s too busy and cluttered seems they had to many ideas and couldn’t control themselves. And for 14m the ceiling is too low.
Peter Pan yes, ceiling not high. I was surprised
Look at the view...
Dozens and dozens of cargo ships😂
that is very overpriced. In New York City, you can buy a penthouse that is 5 times bigger than this for 14 million dollars
$14mil can buy u 11,666,666.666 wonton noodles from a hawker store, take ur pick (my area sells for $1.20)
Must have been hard for ikea to carry all the furniture up to this house......
"its quite spacious" as they bump into each other walking through the doorway
C'mon you can get way more for the same amount in a luxury NYC apartment. -_-
4:22 bromance like that is quite rare
In reality, according to survey, more than half singaporeans will migrate to other countries IF they have the chance. This says it all. Google it. You will find the video on youtube.
what is their prefer country to migrate if they have the chance to migrate?
@@hammerfall6666 anywhere except singapore. DUH! Lmao.
Design is relative. if it makes the customer happy then it is what it is.
A 10 seat dining table in a penthouse? That owner must be hosting alot of private parties. But honestly is it worth $14mil US to have a MBS Skypark type of view every day?
The designer can act as the Asian version of Kingpin
US 14M is SGD 20M is way too expensive for this penthouse.
i have to be honest. this view,is lovely but the designers didnt go a good with the place. Nothing outstanding all. some Hdb interiors look much more elegantly done up than.this complete Ikea standard and design concept let down. Find a new designer
If that's what the client wants then i say the designer have completed the task. Its all about the brief.
Should change “Living At The Top” (0:29) to “Living Near The Top”.
if i had 14 million, i would buy my own piece of land, design and build a real house using the best designer from Europe or something, and that will prolly only cost me 4-5 million. and i'd still have 10 million to invest somewhere else
Is this a 14 million Dollar Pent House or a Terrace House Show Room? Who's the interior designer?
This is the role model example of what Singapore often is about.
Marketing burp.
Peter Kroll true
My initial thought was that this was just staging furniture, simply a means to show something other than an empty shell but, to be honest, it doesn't really have that look and it somehow contrives to make the flat look worse rather than better.
what was film from the start and what was shown was very disappointing. 14million for a meh apartment and meh furniture, better off investing/ starting a business / getting a Sentosa cove on you ic instead :D
Imagine if the lift breaks down
While the locals can only afford small and expensive HDB.
Now I see why he needed to buy the second property lol
Sound track interferes with the voice track disturbing and dissatisfying. So sorry. 😢
$14m for total shit. Glad I moved out of sg. For the same amount I paid for a 4rm hdb I'm now getting a semi-detached with a better view than in the video.
In singapore normal cheapest housing is for hdb 4 room is at least 600K and a condo minimum is 1M so that 14M price is actually ok because alot of people in SG is rich haha not me.
Where’s the kitchen?
Not to bash on the designer, but for $14mil everything looks bland, not grand, how he got to his level as a designer is anyone's guess.
The colors, the lightning is a complete mess. I sense no central theme for each room. All the colors, furniture, lighting do not go well with each other at all
There is research that indicates that the lower the class of people, the more they prefer colors/designs that stand out, the gaudier the better, in order to distinguish themselves. As you move higher up the social ladder, preference changes to more mild colors/uniform design/minimalist tastes. Rich people care more about the brand. Poor people care more about appearance.
@@burtonl7239 is not "poor" is middle class. Poor one use the same colour.
@@burtonl7239 Money cannot buy taste. There are many tasteful rich people out there. But at the same time, A tons of tasteless, 'low class' rich people in the world.
It’s the kind of pretentious designer that you pay millions for and says atas bs like ‘furniture touches gently on the floor’ ‘foyer to calms your down’ that commoners like us not meant to understand, not to mention the name dropping
@@shonest8489 Vestibule not foyer as he said in the beginning
$14 mil for a view that you gonna get bored of in a month's time
Tanjong Pagar is too far from my workplace at Jurong and it cost way way more than a condo in Jurong...
As someone who's been in the furniture business for a long time.. those furniture sucks..
awesome, excellent and smooth luxurious interior design...
USD14M is for land value & building location.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Typical singapore interior designer style. Kinda tacky
@demolazy 😅😅😅👍🏻
@demolazy Jesus... hater much, the guy bashed the design you went for his face, inferior complex identified. 😂
And then he sold it for a loss
Nice stonks
Its literally me when I bought a Mac chicken from my friend for $5 as I didn’t know school canteen was close and I didn’t want to leave school to eat lunch as need study for o lvls for that day.
$14m usd can really get a extremely big house in usa
The rooms this size how can people tell guests we live in the penthouse.?
Dyson must have realised he overpaid thus went on to purchase the bungalow to balance out. Not sure how much that view is worth, to most investor, airspace vs land ... hmmm I think the bungalow is a better choice
This looks like a RM700k condo in Malaysia. Basic and tasteless.
With 1m across the border you will live like a king and also, why wasted another 13m here...
*All I can say is, if you like it, that's all that matters. Who am I to pass judgement on taste and value!*
James Dyson super penthouse is so big that he needs to invent an electric car to get around
Us who lives in 10 year old+ hbd flats: 👁👄👁
The show flat Design is like soso ... HaiZz that is so sad... Maybe we set the expectation high by the property price...similar with 1-2 million n my nice home gallery showflat
Ok what his house...practical and not too extravagantly grand, maybe its what he wants. You comment also but still live in HDB only
The interior is basic designing. For 14million only 3 bedrooms cmon guys.
Neh i am good i prefer to buy a 1.8 or 1.5 million penthouse
News published on Thursday , 26 March 2020 , in report - ‘ Singapore Airlines calls for trading halt pending announcement’ - at businesstimes.com.sg reads as follows :-
“ The Businesstimes reported on Tuesday that the flag carrier’s pilots will be placed on compulsory no-pay leave of between four and seven days a month starting April 1. This comes as the airline and its unions work together to save jobs in what has been described as an unprecedented crisis for global aviation amid the novel coronavirus situation”.
In this context , it is apt to refer readers to related predictive alert in this Vedic astrology writer’s article - “ Some glimpses of coming year 2020 for Singapore” - brought to public domain widely in Singapore last year 2019 on 20 and 21 October. The said related predictive alert is reproduced here from the article :-
“Singapore in the first half of the year 2020 appears to be battling with the roadblocks in economic, trading, and national issues. The period from April to June 2020, particularly May-June , are likely to present need to trackle roadblocks in the field of cinema or hotel industry or such products as are aimed at invigorating common health. Some inordinate delay in response or non-cooperative behaviour of some nations can be a cause of worrisome concern. Issues having something to do with sea or sea-products are likely to present worrisome concerns, may even generate or mean heavy expenses. Partnership or co-operative enterprises need some attention. Aviation and tourism sectors may call for more care and appropriate strategy during April to June 2020 in particular. More care may be taken while handling or storing or dealing with fire, gas, chemical, hydro-power, and energy resources during these three months , particularly May-June of the year. Mineral and metals and industry related thereto could present some worries. Some unforeseen worrisome concerns in trading of iron and steel, thermal coal can be likely. Grievances of labour class or workers may engage attention, and could impact trade and industry during said three months. Some worrisome concerns surrounding trade or trade agreements with one or more countries can arise for addressing.”
It may be observed from these documented readings that the predictive alert of this writer , much prior , can be viewed as unique , precise and accurate.

Well, well, this aged well...
Average design for a 14mil apt. May be budget given to designer was low.
Not worth $14M.
lol if I had 14M to waste on a condo i wouldn't be in singapore
So true
Beautiful stunning comments
I worked in factory manufacturing vacuum cleaners for a bloke called Dyson when he decided to shift all of his manufacturing to Malaysia 4 a quarter of the cost he got knighted and with that knighthood and all that extra money purchased vast tracts of land ( A Nice Tax Break )and received taxpayers benefits from the EU we truly are working in a horrible Society today just as it was in the 70s but the tables have turned and now the Greedy are rewarded and honoured and held up as Beacons of achievement oh and by the way he paid a couple of percent up from of minimum redundancy for the people that actually put him where he was the British Workman long live public education without you we wouldn't realise how really low no humanity can go.But I'm glad in a way that we were booted out this really was a class segregated factory whereby you had to wear a dog tag and the colour of the dog tagged told everybody else your pecking order in the factory and would keep door's locked from you so you knew your superiors by the colour of their dog tag. The the one and only factory canteen closed for after telephone and receptionist middle and upper management had gone home , the rest of the factory worked on a 24-hour manufacturing basis and that canteen was placed so far away that in our 12 hour work pattern in the for 15 min we had we could not reach that canteen, Even if it was open. We worked in hot temperatures constantly having wear plugs which caused painful calluses on the inside of the ear drums this really was a disgusting draconian factory going back to the 1940s or beyond god bless James Dyson. If you think this was made up I can supply names and addresses of everybody that worked there , and will tell you the same thing you're 15 minutes revolved around a small all coin dispensing machine that was filled up during the day and was empty on the night shift and then they stopped people from trying to smoke in their cars in the car park stating that it was a danger this truly was a disgusting factory the only difference from here and the 1800s was the age of the employees god bless forward thinking bigots w
Strange I see no dyson vacuum cleaners or dyson fans in it. Hmmmm.....dyson is not using his own products 😄
Im guessing its 13 mil for the apartment location itself, and 1 mil for the interior LOL
No one
Designer : this is my fav room
Cause this will let us charge u another 2 million
In US u could buy a custom made palace
Beautiful!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
For 14 Mill and no man-cave, bowling alley or swimming pool. Just the view?
What am I, a bird?
Get this peasant shack out of my face
I like this house. Close to my uncle's shop in Telok Ayer. 😁
After look at cheaper penthouses and more exp penthouse
I confirm this is a bs deal
Its so small for a 14 million penthouse
A 7.2 million penthouse is as good as this
Singapore is the most beautiful country on the planet. As an American traveler to the country, I fell in love with it.
As a Singaporean I say you are Deluded.
How to make a 14 million penthouse look like a HDB 5 room flat...with a dyson vacuum thrown in would be a better title🤣🤣🖕
Amazing views 👏👏👏👏
Too many hate comments
14 MILLIONS THAT GOES DOWN THE DRAIN IN 60-99YEARS. THE FASTEST WAY TO LOSE YOUR MONEY... BASICALLY ALL SINGAPOORS' PROPERTY DO NOT GENERATE PROFITS LIKE LUCRATIVE HK AND SINGAPOORS' DEVELOPING NEIGHBORS FROM FARM LAND TO CITY LAND THAT CAN BE MARK UP 1000% IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS.
Below James dyson? Good luck with the non stop vacuuming from the floor above
Just give me that 14 million dollar and I would spend rest of my decade travelling around the world.
$14 mil? pfft...lemmie just grab my wallet real quick...
this house worth is only $800k not more
The dining room decor is a hot mess, but the lights above the table are gorgeous. I thought the apartment would feel more expansive, but turns out it's only a couple hundred sqft larger than my own apartment!
The other guy look just wake up, sleepy and forget to comb his hair.
Why on earth is this condo so expensive when it’s at Potong Pasir and it’s only slightly over 1000 sq ft. This is really just agent trying to sell “koyok”! 😜
hmm the rooms and beds are not even fengshui oriented
Uhmm.. that's just a 90-degree view at 1:12. Hmmm..
14 million ways of calling us poor
Not sure if he overpaid for the house... is it freehold though?
Undeniably luxe, certainly modern, but it's cold with a model home feel that makes one think that real people do not live there.
$14m. $0.5m on interior design. $13.5m for the view.
I can get a big villa for 14 million not a flat 🤨
My man wilson fisk
For the people talking smack in the comments
What so wrong about Ikea furniture? It's affordable, but yet great and even offers a borderline classy feel with appropriate combinations and background in homes. The quality isn't bad either
I mean granted, this house sure does look overpriced af, 14 million for viewing cargo ships etc, not to mention it has a lease on it? Yeah definitely doesn't sound worth it
The reason why people might think the design looks off might be attributed to them filming 4 houses and the clips came from the 4 jumbled up, which might come off as messy I guess. The house doesn't look bad, stop shitting on the designers. While they didn't do an over the top job, it's still decent (or at least, should be).
But of course, nth justifies the 14mil price tag tho, that one can't deny
