A unit in the capital of Sunrise Cannes in Tseung Kwan O was accused yesterday (27th) of being suspected of removing part of the main wall during the renovation period and rebuilding it into the door of the master house, which caused heated discussions among residents and netizens. Looking at the clip introducing the interior decoration of the unit involved, the female host once mentioned another structural wall in the house, that is, the wall separating the cloakroom and the working room and the sleeping area, "tied to the structural wall, demolished".

The hostess pointed out in the film that the unit involved had a saleable area of 681 square feet and originally had 3 rooms, namely a master suite and two bedrooms. In order to meet the owner's requirement to get out of bed on three sides, the designer opened up the 3 rooms into a large master suite with cloakroom and working room. Netizens questioned the wall that originally sat between one of the bedrooms and the living room, believing that it was the main wall, but the video and the floor plan of the unit in the film show that part of the wall was removed and replaced with a new large master suite door.

The unit was originally designed as a three-bedroom, and the designer opened the three-bedroom corridor and changed it into a large master suite and cloakroom, and the master door was also relocated, so the designer pierced a wall between the living room and the bedroom and changed it to a door.

As for the unit after opening up the 3 rooms, the cloakroom and working room are the location of the master's suite in the original design, and the female host in the film explicitly stated that because the wall separating this room from the sleeping area is "tied to a structural wall, it is demolished", but in terms of innate conditions, it forms a "very favorable environment, making a relatively hidden cloakroom". At the same time, in order to avoid the large window sill that each room has in the original partition, the designer added wooden sills to the window sill in the cloakroom to widen the window sill into a book table.
