The Island Residence Renovation & Interior Design

The Island Residence is a condominium in District 4, with a listed address at Keppel Island, off Keppel Bay Vista. Our project file names Keppel Bay Pte Ltd (Keppel Land) as the developer and records an unofficial preview date from an agent site. Because this entry is not officially confirmed — the details were not confirmed on a Keppel page in our file — unit counts, tenure, typologies and any preview or TOP date are left out of the facts below. Conflicting unit counts have been noted in passing in the file; we are not choosing between them. If you are considering a home here, treat the developer’s own documents, when they are in your hands, as the source of truth. This page sets out what is on file and how to plan your The Island Residence renovation.

Planning your The Island Residence interior

Keppel Island sits in a waterfront, harbour-edge part of District 4. That is a distinctive setting, and it is also a reason to be careful with views: we will not assign a harbour, a cable-car or a city outlook to your stack. Plan blinds, glare and any window seating only after you have the key plan and, ideally, a visit at more than one time of day. What we can prepare, once an approved floor plan exists, is the joinery for a long-stay waterfront home: an entry cabinet, a living-room storage wall, full-height wardrobes, and a fitted kitchen that can take proper cooking rather than a temporary set of loose cabinets. Maison specifies built-in carpentry, photographed in the way a professional interior is finished, including closer material shots, not IKEA-style furniture.

No official floor plan is on file, so typologies and room sizes are not listed, and we will not invent a “typical island unit”. Newport Residences, across the bay in District 2, and CanningHill Piers are other Maison pages in the wider central and harbour catchment; they are nearby links, not typologies references.

Until official completion and typologies are on file, this page stays deliberately thin on figures. When you have a plan and a key or purchase timeline in writing, WhatsApp Maison and we can start from those documents. After keys, the usual order still applies: defects, measurement, management approval, then works. A moderate carpentry scope is often planned at six to ten weeks on site after approvals, as an editorial figure only. We are not affiliated with Keppel.

Planning your The Island Residence renovation

Defects check at handover

Your sale and purchase agreement sets the defects liability period, commonly 12 months from vacant possession. Check yours.
Inspect before your contractor starts, so new marks are not blamed on the renovation.
Check floors, walls, doors, windows, balcony glass, sealant, appliances, taps, water heater and air-conditioning.
Submit a list with photos through the developer's defects process and keep a copy.

What the rules allow

Renovation approval comes from the condo's management (the managing agent, then the MCST). Expect a form, a deposit and contractor registration.
Working hours are set by the condo's by-laws and are usually shorter than HDB's. Check them before booking work.
Changes seen from outside, such as balcony screens, grilles and the main door, need approval and must follow the approved design.
Structural changes need a professional engineer and building approvals.

Rules change, so we check the current version for your unit before we quote. Full new condo renovation guide

The Island Residence renovation FAQ

Is the completion or launch date for The Island Residence confirmed?

Not in our project file. This project is not officially confirmed, so unit counts, tenure and dates from third-party listings have been left blank. Use the developer’s documents for your own dates.

Do you have the The Island Residence floor plan?

No official floor-plan or site image is on file for this page, so none is published here. Please send your approved unit plan.

Can I renovate right after keys?

After handover, inspect defects and obtain the management corporation’s renovation approval first. A moderate carpentry scope is often planned at about six to ten weeks on site after access and approvals; that is an editorial allowance, not a guarantee.

What should I send Maison?

Your approved floor plan, unit type if you have it, and a key date if one is already in writing. WhatsApp us at https://wa.me/6593391185.
