One can only find such grille patterns around the 1950s to 1960s. Not exactly Tic-tac-toe but somewhere near to it?

The attached window design feature: Casement windows encased by a distinct rectangular `protruding' enclosed brick shape sloping design was popular in the early 1970's. Many semi-detached and bungalow homes both in Singapore and Malaysia feature such an iconic design. Slowly as many owners redesign or do A&A works, such designs are disappearing gradually. As often, such homes are considered relatively "new" i.e. 30 to 40 years old and not worth conserving, yet. From a Feng Shui point of view, it is a stable design as rectangle represents the earth element. While circle designs during that era (1970's are rare and least desirable for large window openings). Often, th…

1. Should I look at where my future parking lot is before I buy erh... that unit? 2. In this private development or condo; car parking lots are numbered and tagged with a specific condo unit. 3. Some lots are covered. While others are in the open. 4. If I am a car lover, I would first check out where my future lot is; before I commit to buying that unit in this development!

The MacDonald House is the last remaining office building withred bricks facade. The building was built 3 years after World War 2. It was and designed by Reginal Eyre of the architectural firm Palmer and Turner. It was one of the 1st high-rise buildings in Orchard Road. During that time, the MacDonald House housed mainly British, American and Australian companies. I remember clearly that the show rooms of British made cars such as the mini-clubman was along this area. On March 1965, in an incident known as the MacDonald House bombing, two Indonesian saboteurs placed a bomb on the mezzanine floor.At the time of the bombing the buildinghoused the Australian High …

It does not take much visualisation to understand that stacks 141 and 147 are at a disadvantage. Just imagine the windows / balcony openings are at A, B and C. And directly opposite these stacks are another stack that juts out; create poison arrow(s) and blocks it's view. How worse can it get?

Surprisingly, although this house has many trees at it's frontage; the trees palm trees are tall and the other trees have branches that are well spaced out. It looks airy and not dim. Favourable for qi flow into the home. Thus a good balance between having no trees or too many trees for others. Note: the tree trunks within the compound of the house does not pose any sha qi or poison arrows (if any) as they are not aimed towards the main entrance door or any windows. Location: Jalan Hajijah , SGP

The existing bamboo pole holders embedded into the external walls of many old HDB flats are danger as they collect water = mosquito breeding. However, these metallic protrusions can be considered as functional yet very ugly / unsightly.

Ref: http://fountain.geomancy.net The photo shows a politically correct or in theory a typical "Feng Shui" type of water feature. In the first photo, it shows clearly that the water feature lacks plants = wood element.
