        may be Changi Hilton as horizontal bars, so it is still behind bars

            I never had any grills in any of my houses until this one and ironically, this one is on the ground floor so no danger of highrise falling. When we first moved in, we did not have any grills. But after an attempted break in, we put up some grills in the backyard.

              Another thing I find ridiculous about the new designs, be it condo or flats. Windows that cannot be opened. Seems the trend is such that a huge middle portion of the window is a fixed glass panel and only 2 small side panels can be opened.

                I think that's precisely why horizontal grills replace vertical grills since the latter give an impression of prison bars..


                As for the bay windows, some of my friends actually custom made some cushions to be placed on top and their kids can actually sit there, relax and read a book. Another of my friend did a foldable study table since it is near to the windows. Nice concept if you know how to use it. šŸ˜‰
