Best Location for Buddha Altar Cecil Lee Cecil Lee support@geomancy.net
These are some considerations:
1. Generally, Option where the altar is next to the main door is a good choice.
2. As you had mentioned, the stove placement should be based on one's ba zi and is beyond this discussion.
3. There is no issue if one wants to place a shoe cabinet next to the main door. This is pretty common even for many condo unit owners.

Best Location for Buddha Altar Mrs NJY myfs_156693 kovankt@gmail.com
The RC wall (reinforced cOncrete wall) refers to that short thick black line beside your marking Y. Option 2 is to build the altar against this wall instead of at Y. If I choose to go via Option 2, I would like to actually convert the wall at Y into a counter top that can overlook into the kitchen. The purpose of this is more so that when I am in the kitchen, there is an 'opening' thru the wall at Y so that I can see what my kids are doing in the living room. That's why my intention is to place the altar beside Y and hack down part of Y to create an 'opening' and a small counter table top. I suppose there shouldn't be any issue with the altar standing beside a counter top?
For Option 1, what other stove locations are there or the stove location has to be dependent on my Ba Zi? If I go via Option 1, for the shoe cabinet, if I construct it in the space behind the main door on the left, is it considered ok?

Burning of Incense Cecil Lee Cecil Lee support@geomancy.net
Further to what I had mentiOned, please don't get me wrong. I am not anti-praying or anti-worship.
Just do remember, as a test, go into each bedroom; under various circumstances such as main door opened? bedroom window(s) opened and different times of day (high low pressure) and after a month or two, try to smell e.g. pillow cases etc.. in a specific room. If one does smell trace elements of incense material smell; then take extra precaution like reduce the frequency of burning incense. Espeially if family members remain behind the home most of the time.

Burning of Incense Cecil Lee Cecil Lee support@geomancy.net
Further to what I had mentioned earlier, in my opinion, if one is not burning incense it is find to consider any of the "preferred" locations for the altar table. But if one intends to burn incense and with young children staying at home or retired parents; then on the safe side, it is preferred that one should not choose options B, C or Y. As often, these three areas in particular B and C are closest to the passageway corridor leading to all three bedrooms in the attachment. It is one thing being faithful to one's God, deity or Buddha, but it is another thing when one inadvertenly develops cancer when lighting up incense at the altar.

Stove position Cecil Lee Cecil Lee support@geomancy.net
1. These are some considerations or NICE-to have and not a MUST-have.
2. Please note that the attached layout (Option 1 and Option 2) shows another variant layout where the kitchen is narrower. But the advantage is that the stove can be kept away from the kitchen entrance opening for either Option 1 or Option 2.
3. From a common sense approach to Feng Shui, some felt that Option 1 is a better choice.
3.1. As often, when invited guests come into our apartment, "first-impressions count". And more often than not, if there is a kitchen door; most of the time, it is left opened.
3.2. And being a regular home (not a show room); when one steps into the apartment (as shown in the Option 2 purple dotted lines just after entering the main entrance, one can directly see into the kitchen and back yard. Here, if we do hang underwear and other materials, it is in full sight of the visitor(s).
3.3. In addition, under symbolism in Feng Shui, and if Option 2 is selected, it is best not to place knife set close to the visible view of the front door. If we envisage, a thief may come in; see the knife, take it and start threating the household.
3.4. Option 2: is very similar to (and reminds me of) many condominium apartment layout...
4. In Punggol, be it Punggol Sapphire, Punggol Nautilus, Punggol Field etc.. there are lots of variants of similar layouts but various degrees of size / width of kitchen ranging from what is shown in your layout to this sample attachment.

Best Location for Buddha Altar Cecil Lee Cecil Lee support@geomancy.net
Avoid an altar within the GREEN zOne. Please refer to attachment.
In general, the idea is that it is "bad manners" for an altar to "look into" the home i.e. bedrooms /toilets etc...
While earlier marking in RED, Position E can be defined as looking inwards, but as it is placed close to the windows, this implies or hope that the deity should be (more respectful) and look out of the window (implied).

Best Location for Buddha Altar Cecil Lee Cecil Lee support@geomancy.net
These are some cOnsiderations:
1. Not sure what you mean by RC wall?
2. Please refer to attachment:
2.1. In general, from a Chinese custom point of view, it is agreeable that the best altar position is at marking in RED "A". As per your suggested Option 1.
2.2. Other viable locations are:-
2.2.1 Next best locations by ranking are either marking(s) B, Y or C.
2.2.2 But for those who may like to select either marking B or C may have some long term side-effects. As there were some earlier studies where if one were to constantly light joss sticks, the fumes would often flow into the various bedrooms. And if there is an elderly or children in the various bedrooms; long term exposure is not that healthy.
3. Marking Y is if the original wall is not knocked out. And to make sure that behind the altar, there is no oven or stove or any such objects.
4. Stove position if the altar is at Option 1: there are two considerations:
4.1. In common sense Feng Shui, some say that it is not good to let the stove face an opening. One of the reasons is because, our eyes are not at the back, and in some Feng Shui literature, some say that a person could just walk (sneak) up to the person cooking and give a "fright" to the person cooking.
4.2. Symbolism in Feng Shui. Did one see the range highlighted in YELLOW. Only if the study room has been converted into a bedroom. And if the bedroom door faces the stove. It symbolises that the person sleeping in that bedroom may get a fever or have health concerns. If it is not a bedroom, not a concern, here.
5. A last resort for the altar at marking E means that any tv or hifi speakers should not be too close to the altar. Plus, if an altar is at marking E or D; make sure that there is no direct sunlight e.g. the east sun or the west setting sun rays shining towards the altar top.
6. In general, marking in RED "A" is considered as a good choice except that a shoe cabinet should not be constructed at the base or bottom of the altar. If one is prepared to change the kitchen door to marking X. There are some other plus points for the kitchen door at marking in purple "Y"; but this has more to do with common sense which I will not relate, here.

Best Location for Buddha Altar Anonymous
Hi
We are looking into a custom-made altar for worshipping Buddha and Earth God in our new flat. But we are not sure which is the ideal location. Attached are the pics of the various options:
Option 1:
Build the altar against the wall right beside the main door entrance. This would mean we will have to seal up the existing kitchen entrance and re-create the kitchen entrance at the other side. But with this, it will seem that the stove will be in line with the new kitchen entrance and if I'm not wrong, this is not a good stove location right?
Option 2:
Build the altar against the RC wall and we are also looking into using the excess space beside the altar as counter top looking into the kitchen (only the bold line representing the RC wall cannot be hacked, but the remaining wall can be hacked)
Appreciate your advice as to which is a better option, or if none of this works, what other alternatives are there?
