River Modern Renovation & Interior Design
River Modern is a condominium in District 9, in the Orchard and River Valley catchment. Our project file records a launch in March 2026 from a third-party new-launch list. Because this entry is not officially confirmed, unit counts, tenure and the launch month are left out of the facts below, and no TOP or key date is confirmed. Please use the developer’s sale documents for those figures. We will not treat a listing-site date as official. This page sets out what is on file and how to plan your River Modern renovation.

Planning your River Modern interior
District 9 homes are often bought for their position in the city: close to work, close to the river, close to the Orchard belt. The interior brief that usually follows is compact and exacting. Circulation has to stay clear, storage has to be built in rather than piled, and the kitchen — frequently open or partly open to dining — has to look finished from the sofa. That is why Maison starts with carpentry: an entry cabinet that actually takes shoes and bags, a living-room joinery wall, handleless kitchen cabinets with a tall pantry, and full-height wardrobes in every bedroom that needs one. We do not use loose, flat-pack furniture as the main look. In a city apartment, a close photograph of a counter, a wardrobe interior or a fluted panel is often as useful as a wide corner-to-corner view.
We have no official floor plan on file and will not invent typologies or a typical square footage. River views, city views or a walk to any particular station are marketing claims until you check your own stack, floor and facing on the key plan. Plan blinds, glare control and any window bench around the outlook you actually have, and read the management rules before you change a balcony.
Orchard Sophia, Duet @ Emily, One Leonie Residences and CanningHill Piers are other Maison pages in or next to this district; use them as internal references, not as a substitute for your own plan. When keys are in sight, the sequence is defects, measurement, renovation approval, then works. A moderate carpentry scope is often planned at about six to ten weeks on site after approvals — an editorial allowance, not a promise. WhatsApp Maison with your approved plan when you are ready.
Planning your River Modern 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.

River Modern renovation FAQ
Is the completion or launch date for River Modern 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 River Modern 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.
