6. Add corner stacker door to Outdoor room, rebated the tracks, and removed post at the corner
7. Add corner butt window looking into front study (to get a hybrid Peninsula and Como facade)
8. Open stringer staircase. Provision to built an in-wall aquarium under the stairs after handover
9. Changed sliding windows to floor to ceiling awning window with no transom (similar to Sovereign 50 at Upper Comera)
