Concentrico Va-Va-Voom

So last Sunday the Chief took us to Mont Kiara for a little look-see about the Vogue tower of the Verve Suites. Turns out the Chief received a preview invite from Direct Access and so we went there to take a look (and get freebies).

Was the Chief finally into getting a place to stay?

Would the Closed Door concept soon not matter?

Well, didn't happen that Sunday. But no matter.

The location is pretty. And quiet.

The concept model was pretty.

The concept rooms were pretty. Both of us liked the single-bedroom design of Centro Jazz and the two-bedroom Metro Bliss. Rooms come fully furnished, and the in-built shelves were done in a way that made the, um, 430 sq ft single bedroom units look more spacious. Nevertheless still very pretty rooms.

Interesting thing that the Chief noticed was that in all rooms, asides from the front door, there were no locks or latches. While there may be a swing door to the bedroom, or sliding door to the bath, drawers and such, there's simply no way to lock them. Very Open Door concept - you can't live with strangers here.

Interesting. You don't have to fool around with the motorized blinds to view into the bathroom to watch someone enjoying the sunken tub. You can just walk into the bathroom and join in.

The usage of the rooftops made the Verve Suites very pretty. Each tower has access to all the rooftop places, and there were already 4 swimming pools (normal, heated, kiddie and exercise pool) amongst other facilites set up - theatherette, mini jacuzzi tubs, al-fresco dining setup...

Too bad the rooftop preview was only model scale-size.

We were practically drooling the entire tour. Prettiness called to be acknowledged.

Something else we couldn't help doing was thinking how long the bookings must be for the rooftop amenities. It could be that the theatherette would be booked all the way till the middle of next year.

So we had some fun looking around the rooms and such. Then came the next interesting bit: looking at the prices. And hooo-wee! We're wondering if RM450k would justify the nice furniture and small size of a single bedroom unit, and we're definitely too poor to look at the RM990k two bedroom unit. Not to mention that the better-located rooms were all sold out anyways. Turns out that the letter Chief received was two months late.

Chief says to wait for the next tower next year before we come back next year for another look-see.

Till then we're gonna plan for Showroom Days where we'll go visiting developers and viewing places. :P
