Case Study 1: Should I be concerned if my unit faces a school? (Not really). Learn more:-

Case Study 7: Be careful of EMF radiation (if any) from the rear of the TV set at the living room towards bedroom 3.

Case Study 6: A welcoming change of staggered front doors for 2 Bedroom Flexi For unit 114, no issue even if the unit's front door partially faces the staircase door. As by law this door has to be closed at all times.

Case Study 5: Other than some privacy concerns, no issue if front door of unit 104 has a view of the lift lobby & vice-versa.

Case Study 4: A relatively short common corridor thus no major concern for Unit 106

Case Study 4: Any sharp corner (poison arrow[s]) if any aimed towards the front door? 1. Fortunately No. As the sharp corner of the corridor sidewalls are not aimed towards any of the unit's front door. "Heng Ah!" (Lucky Phew!)

Case Study 7: Should I be concerned with my unit facing a school i.e. Hong Wen School? 1. Do study the roof-line of the school and try to envisage that it does not become a poison arrow aimed towards the potential unit's opening especially the living room which is hard to cure. 2. Often, as the school is around 5 to 6 storeys high, safer to purchase a unit much higher than this both to have an obstructed view as well as (in case) of a poison arrow(s) - if any.

Not common but symbolically hope she does not become “dominant” or become a stubborn girl (Don't want her to climb all over us!)

Case Study 6: Kee Chiu! Who does not want a unit facing a Park? (Referring to Stacks 221 and 223) What say you? "I want, I want, I want also!"

Case Study 5: Flying Star Feng Shui of HDB Towner Residences 1. This development's Flying Star charts are borderline cases where for example NE1 may become NE2, SW1 may become SW2 etc...

Case Study 4: Can I adopt an Open Concept Kitchen? 1. From a Feng Shui point of view, a stove, an oven/toaster/microwave should not face a bedroom opening = door. 2. Okay, I understand you are only placing a sink - there! But wait, if there are utensils like washed and for drying = forks, knives, scissors or any other sharp object facing the bedroom door is equally considered "just as bad".

Case Study 3: Controversy of front door opening towards a wall. 1. Many past HDB flats including past and present condos / ECs have such a layout plan. 2. Should I be concerned? 2.1. Some Feng Shui Masters and even some persons felt that it may be inauspicious to have a front door opens towards a wall. 2.2. Perhaps, they felt that it is the same as having "opportunities" slammed against them!. Or some mambo jumbo about the inability of qi coming from the front door been blocked by this "wall". 3. If you buy this argument then you may be joining this group of persons and their concerns. 4. Frankly, this is not a major concern or issue. 4.1. A blessing in disguise is that the front door does not open directly towards the living room windows and some have to make a point of adding a partition between the front door and the living room window(s). 5. One will also notice that the front doors of both 221 and 223 face each other. This is for another "day". 6. Luckily, the front door of stack/unit 221 is not at location marked as "X". Else, it is facing an inauspicious long corridor.

Case Study 2: Potential poison arrow from sharp corner of the Multi-Storey Carpark (MSCP) aimed towards Stack 225 1. This photo does not show clearly the extent of the sharp corner. As there is a notch where the 5th storey roof garden is located. 2. On the safe side, avoid low floors of stack 225. 3. For Stacks 229 and 231 be careful of the roof garden lamp post which may or may not slice towards an opening of these units. Again on the safe side, get higher floor units like at least 7th storeys onwards (if possible).

Case Study 1: What a waste that Stack/unit's front door has a full view of the Common Bin Lobby (CBL). 1. Not great if one has to open one's front door and greeted by the CBL. 2. Stack/unit 225 although cannot see the common bin cute openings but have a view of the top half of the CBL. 3. Stack/unit 219 is not that bad. Unless one has inconsiderate neighbours and especially during durian season where often some would just dump the durian seeds and shells. The smell may just permeate the main bedroom window area. But of course, close them.

Okay

Para 3 is the norm.

1. Sometimes the sharp corner of the cabinet can be a poison arrow aimed towards the front door. 2. Since it is an overlay, it would be slightly higher depending also on the thickness of the vinyl. As be extra careful and touch-wood (tripping) over this level.

1. Based on the Feng Shui ruler so happens that 40cm is an auspicious width. Plus the right size to allow for most locals feet / shoes to be placed comfortably into the cubicle of a shoe cabinet. 2. The best consideration is to place the vinyl tiles parallel with the front door (first) - Given that this is the most used area and or the most visible of the house. Thus no choice if this leads to it at a 90 degrees with the other two bedrooms.

Conservatives: Stand inside the front door looking outwards E1. But please consider below… It is best to follow these guidelines:- https://www.geomancy.net/forums/topic/16637-an-in-depth-understanding-of-the-frontage-of-a-home-is-it-always-the-main-door-who-are-the-conservatives-the-modernist-what-lead-to-the-conservatives-use-of-the-main-door-only/

Case Study 5: 4 and 5 Bedroom Layouts 1. HDB has previously placed a bedroom on the other side of the living room e.g. at some of the newer HDB flats at Punggol Northshore and HDB Skyparc Dawson etc.. 2. What is different in HDB Tampines GreenJade are the Master Toilet and Shared Bathroom positions. 2.1. Here, a plus is that the centrepoint is clear of things like the shared toilet door or it's sink in close proximity of this centrepoint of the house. An added advantage under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. 2.2. In addition, all the unit's waste pipes (other than the kitchen sink/yard) are concentrated together. 3, The only "headache" for the future occupant or buyer is the installation and pipes for an Air-con should it be installed at the lone bedroom on the other side of the living room! 4. Contractor: "No choice, I have to charge you more for the materials and labour to run the ducting at this bedroom! Based on Job-costing! 4.1. Many current owners installed false ceiling for these piping to run directly across the living room. 4.2. While some have considered running along the living room windows - taking a "longer route". 4.3. Common sense says that the drainage pipe follows gravity and there can only be one DROP! towards a toilet. Got it, Get it?

Case Study 4: Should I be concerned with one of my bedrooms sharing the same wall as a Lift shaft with a moving lift? 1. There are a few Feng Shui Masters who felt that moving metal is not good for a home. And felt that a home especially a bedroom should not share the same wall as a lift / lift air well. 2. Should I be concerned? 3. You shouldn't be at all. Instead, it could indeed be a blessing in disguise given that the Lift structure, besides the emergency stairwell are some of the most safe structures in a block. Furthermore, with the household shelter wrapped beside it, this can instead be a plus!

Case Study 3: All stacks facing Sungei Beok are of Flying Star SW1 facing and the water flow is from Right to Left especially for Stacks 100, 110, 106, 148, 156, 158, 162, 164 and166. Under the Water Classics, make a guess whether this flow is auspicious or inauspicious for these stacks? There can only be two outcomes: Yes or No?

Case Study 2: Of temporary unblocked views and future residential construction noise and dusts 1. Stacks especially that of 110, 106, 148, 156, 158, 162, 164, 166 and perhaps also 100 views of Sungei Bedok by a future high rise residential development sandwiched between this development and Sungei Bedok. 2. Nowadays it seems construction works take at least around 3 years or more to complete.
