Whenever, I see these pictures of some of these views of Caribbean At Keppel Bay, 2 Keppel Bay Drive; it reminds me of a recent converstation with an old client: She was the one that sold her Sentosa Cove home for $36 million to the Chinese person. This topic was the talk of the real estate world and for many in Singapore a few weeks ago. The Caribbean At Keppel Bay, 2 Keppel Bay Drive although cannot equate the views it's neighbouring Sentosa, but; this development is equally popular today as it is just at the fringe of the Sentosa development and Vivo city mega shopping centre. Caribbean At Keppel Bay, 2 Keppel Bay Drive can be considered asthe "poorer" man's = bungalow at the sea (although these are merely units within blocks of apartments)... Maybe, some of the owners are hoping that their units can also be sold for 36 million SGP dollars!

1. Some city scenes and the Tanjong Pagar Estate. 2. The distinctive Pinnacle @ Duxton : conceived from three ideas: computer circuit boards; piano keys and The Matrix show...

This home next to the entrance of Jewel @ Chuan Hoe has lots of triangular shaped roofs pointed in all directions. We call this a "porcupine-roof" house...

Sorry, the resolution is not so clear, but this pair of qi lin on the two front pillars of the gate of this home has one of the widest smiles around. Location: The Tan family resident (next door to) the new development that had just TOP: Jewel @ Chuan Hoe

The idea is that spirits travel in a straight line and a zig zag bridge will certainly confuse the spirits!

A building with such angular corners is not Feng Shui friendly... This block of private apartmentis along Yio Chu Kang Road - just before Phillips Avenue.

Another one of those ba gua with a concave mirror facing a long corridor...

1. The dining room or table facing the main door:- 1.1. As the dining table can be seen immediately from the main door; it is best that the dining table is always neat and tidy - not messy. 1.2. Make sure that seemingly innocent items like a scissor or sharp object on the dining table that can be seen from the main door. 2. Toilet at the frontage, yes, not the best plus the main door seeing the staircase are two other considerations that you had mentioned. 3. Attached please find the centrepoint of the home. This centre-point or center should also be superimposed onto the 2nd storey floor plan.

Frankly, since you got so many issues; best to go search for a geomancer to look at everything for you.

1. In my opinion, this is pretty similar to a walk-in wardrope (without doors). 2. From a Feng Shui point of view; there should not be any major issue; Visually, it may not look nice; only. 3. For exact colour, often it depends on the Flying Star numbers of a sector and in relation to a person's ba zi element. And not based on your description of west.. south... 4. Sometimes, installing beads or curtains.. if not changed or cleaned often may not be "hygenic". For example, if we hang a set of curtains; and don't change it for three or six months; the material may be a hive of germs. And I cannot think that each time we brush our face against this material; germs.. deposit of germs.. goes onto our face.

1. Feng Shui has two major schools: 1.1. Shapes and Forms Feng Shui; 1.2. Compass School Feng Shui: Eight House and Flying Star 2. I can only comment on Para 1.1: this is a general advice forum and not a I do it for you sort of thing: It is so easy to add the compass direction, but there is a lot of work needed for such an evaluation. And often it also has to include the breadwinners date n time of birth. If you can, DIY on your own.

Based strictly on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui alone; in general, the layout looks OK. Except hopefully, from the main door; one should not directly see the stove (and hobs). - I can't clearly see if there is a solid wall, there.

Indeed, the presence of the two towering structures contributes to a rather somber atmosphere in this area, diminishing the previously experienced 'bright hall' effect.

Your loss is MY GAIN! Fools depart with their money!

Someone says: "I want to jump down this building" The officer says: "Go ahead! Make my day!"

1. Thanks for the sketch. 2. If it is still a set of staircase for any block of flats; it is suppose to be a fire escape stairway (area). 3. If so, under Singapore (and most other countries) fire safety code; the staircase door should be closed. 4. Thus, since there is all the more reason for this door to be closed; it should be fine. In this case, you don't need to place those item that you are not in favour of at your main door area.

Further to what I had mentioned; 1. Many condominiums love to have a circular or semi-circular club house. 2. What is the major concern is that many of the club house have trellise that looks similar to this development: Carabelle condo http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=43&mid=25665&new= 3. If one looks carefully at say your posting of the Waterford Residence, the clubhouse also has a distinctive semi-circular club house. 4. Depending on the height of the roof of the club house and whether does it have such spikey trellis or not; it is best not to purchase unit that has this spikes aimed towards the unit one is considering purchasing.

What you mean? a tree with a lamp-post???

1. Frankly, try not tomistake pool design (flatten area) with built up area (blocks / stacks-units). 2. For example, please refer to our conversation. I believe you had asked me about Stack #6 in the development called One Jervois. 3. The worrying thing or sometimes tell tale sign of "no-take-up" in a new condominium or we say "left over units". 4. It is without a doubt that many buyers always go for the best and often such remainder units have some deficiency or the other. For this instance, the attachment illustration shows clearly a small handgun with "twin" barrels pointed towards the closest stack is #6 and next closest is #5. 5. In this development based on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, stacks #6, #5 and #9 are considered inauspicious. 6. However, one cannot just put two and two = four. This example of One Jervois has more do with a top-view profile of a built-up bricks and mortar "concrete" blocks of flats. 7. It ain't the same as the pool design. A location where a pool passes thru has always to do with a "flat surface" or clear space or unblocked view. 8. This one cannot compare Yin and Yang. For example: Yang could be the block of stacks that resemble a pistol. And yin is the design of the pool water. Anonymous wrote: Under the shapes and forms, would you consider the pool design of this development "damaging" to stack 7,2 and 11? 9. Therefore, contrary to your "thinking" it is a blessing in disguise for this development's stack 7, 2 and 11 that has some clear space thanks to the design of the pool even for ground floor unit upwards. 10. Why? The fundamental quality or at least some good that comes out of a home or apartment is that there should be some "clear space" or "bright hall" or "bright area" that allows qi to "collect". 11. This is why old HDB 5 room point block flats are the best as all four stacks of the block have lots of clear space every where. 12. One good thing about stacks 10 and 12 are that they are not affected by afternoon sun. And the appropriate Flying Star chart can be plotted to check the interior of the plan. 13. Period 8 SE facing apartments in GENERAL only have good qi at the frontage but many of it's other sectors are littered with bad flying star numbers that may need to be disarmed. 14. The key issue here is that one cannot assume the profile of built up area or outline of towers / stacks (yang) and equate this with pool design (yin).

Frankly, it is always easier to give a sketch or a photo. Else, as mentioned in many of the forum messages, can easily misunderstand questions. And I don't have to ponder or visualise and sometimes like this get it wrong. This is very unproductive.

1. In many countries, under the Fire safety requirement; all exit staircase doors must be closed. To ensure that in the unlikely event of a fire; heat and smoke does not get into the stair-case air-well to allow for safe evacuation. 2. Thus, in your case, you have the "right" to have the staircase door closed. 3. Usually, such doors have a fire rating. In Singapore, the stand is around 1/2 hour fire-rated door. 4. Perhaps, your door with a glass fixture is in the past; as nowadays, all new buildings don't have this glass panel. 5. In this case, this is what you had wanted.. and if so, no need for the other "accessories" for your home.

Frankly this is pretty common, and it depends. In Singapore many estates have such a situation e.g. Siglap hill area, Hume Avenue, Yio Chu Kang, River Valley, Dunearn Road, Holland Rd areas. In fact, just about anywhere. Thus, many factors including how the home was built. In general, you are quite correct to say that earth luck (or poor luck) is usually strongest at the ground level.

1. The true nature of what you mentioned or "the statement" has more to do with pure landscape. 2. Where the best landscape is not only the academic sayingof the entrance door where one sees the dragon and ??? where is the tiger? 3.What it really is suppose to be is a good site is where one can see not just the green dragon but a white tiger. And the key ingredient is thatboth are in gentle embrace. 4. This is the key success factorof a good site based on this concept of Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. 5. Thus: to be frank: "so what if thedragon is ... " but where is the tiger? in gentle embrace!
