Case Study: Comments on The Verandah Residences strata landed. Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, less than ideal to have a toilet at the centre of the unit. Ideally, a toilet should share one external wall.

The Verandah Residences by Oxley Amber Pte Ltd is a freehold development. This development has Four blocks of 5-storey residential flats with three 2-storey strata landed houses.

Part 8 - Another competitive new launch near-by: The Garden Residences jointly developed by Keppel Land

Part 7 - Case Study: Flying Star Feng Shui of Affinity at Serangoon T.O.P. in 2024 under Period 9 Flying Star Feng Shui +++ Block 24 with stacks either facing N2 or S2. (East Group directions) Block 30 with stacks either facing NE1 and SW1. (West Group directions) Block 18 with stacks either facing NE1 and SW1:- Block 22 with stacks facing NW3 or SE3 and Block 28 with stacks facing N1 or S1 Strata houses number 10 to 16A with flying stars of N1 facing: Block 20 with stacks facing N2 or S2:-

Part 6 - Case Study: Flying Star Feng Shui of Strata houses 32 to 64 House numbers 32 to 65 faces compass direction: 324 degrees or NW3. NW3 Has the auspicious water wealth #8 at it's frontage. Good that most these homes has a water position at it's frontage. Other than this, the rest of the sectors on this home has imbalances. If the master bedroom or a bedroom is located at West sector of the home: be careful of frequent sickness

Part 5 - Case Study: Poison arrow(s) from sharp corner of neighbouring block or from strata landed homes affecting some condo unit's low storeys. I am particularly concerned with Block 22, stacks 21, 22, 23, 24 & 25 and the low storeys of the strata homes from house no. 10 to 16A. As both sides may pose a poison arrow to each other. Block 26 stack 47 does seem to have poison arrows aimed towards Block 18 stack 10. Block 18 stack 06 has a threatening poison arrow from stack 06 aimed towards Block 24 stack 36. Strata house no. 32 may have a poison arrow aimed towards low storeys of Block 30 stack 67. In addition Block 30 does have stacks 65, 66, 67, 68 and 69 may also have poison arrows aimed towards strata homes 32, 32A, 34 and perhaps 34A.

Part 4 - Reading between the lines of the Sales Brochure of Park Colonial 1. One major consideration is: "Where is the external common central rubbish bin(s) on each storey?" 2. For this development, the developer does not show the location of the external central rubbish bin(s). 3. Before signing the dotted line.. do check with the Sales Agent. In many recent past developments like the Hillion at Bukit Panjang and even 100 Palm Residences, many "wise" potential buyers have successfully requested and viewed the exact location of the common central corridor. 4. Don't want to get an unexpected surprise to find the central rubbish bin beside one's main door! Or possible not facing the main door. Both in terms of Feng Shui and may affect future resale value or even resale potential (if any)... 5. There are more considerations like the location of the central rubbish bin collection point(s) the electrical sub-station(s) and even emergency diesel generations etc.... 6. I have complied a useful set of key considerations.. they are not exhaustive but rather.. is good to know...

Part 3 - A close look at Sales Brochure Site plan features and functional areas in the development 1. Personally, I would avoid purchasing a unit directly above the retail shops. Both for privacy, cleanliness and the expected higher foot-traffic. 2. Avoid a unit close to the Bin Centre, Transformer room and Main Distribution Frame Room 3. Tennis Court. 4. BBQ areas, Alfresco Dining and Kitchen areas. 5. Pavilions especially what type of roof designs (If any). As some roof designs can result being poison arrows towards a unit's opening. And equally for privacy issues. 6. And if one does not like noisy areas; this includes proximity to Kids fountain pool, bubble pool, spa and kids play ground, jacuzzi etc.. Others: In my opinion, it is a waste of time for condos to have Spice and Herb Gardens. This is due to the requirement that fogging has to be done weekly at all condominums. Thus the spice and herbs in such gardens are like.. nice to see but "NO TOUCH!". Frankly, iin reality a waste of time.

Part 2 - Golden Ginger and Blocks 24 and 26. Block 26 is directly facing the HDB Golden Ginger apartments. Goldern Ginger is an apartment block for the elderly. Frankly, this is a consideration given that there are some who do not like facing such apartments. Or may affect resale values in the future. The site was formerly HUDC Serangoon Ville: This was how the site (a vacant plot of land) looks like in 1966:-

Part 1 - Introduction Affinity at Serangoon by Oxley Holdings is a large development with 1012 units & 40 strata landed homes. Affinity at Serangoon will be built on former HDB land... To me, the outlines of the blocks with the 40 strata homes looks like a frog. Where block 22 looks like the head with the jaw-line between house numbers 10 to 16A. And the bottom two rows of strata homes looks more like the feet of the frog:-

Parkwood Residences Formerly Togo Green.. collective sale / enbloc

Parkwood Residences is a stone's throw away from the Japanese Cemetry.

Had it not been for the proximity of the Yishun MRT station, Sembawang Road was more prominent prior to the 1980s.

Feng Shui regarding Shapes and Forms does not particularly endorse all yellow highlights: 1. Air-conditioning ledge as illustrated in the attachment 2. Kitchen situated adjacent to or sharing the living room balcony area 3. Master Toilet positioned at the front of the unit.

Case Study: Avoid bed-head (face and nose) sharing the same wall as a WC. As shown in the attached example.

Case Study: Type C1 Layout with Poor Shapes and Forms concerns x3 For those who are looking at purchase of similar type of layouts in the future, try to avoid a layout with: ONE (1.) Bedrooms 2 and 3: Air-con ledges vs the window ventilation area of both bedrooms TWO (2.) Master bedroom does not have proper windows. Sliding panels. THREE (3.) Stove sharing the same wall as the wash basin.

Case Study: Stack 14 affected by missing corner at NW South facing stacks are notorious for either the kitchen at NW or in this case missing corner at NW. NW represents the male head breadwinner. And a major missing corner often affect his career.

In 1966 or pre MRT days, Tre Residences was situated along a road called Lorong Rusa. This area was predominantly a Malay settlement.

Sea Pavilion Residences at Bayshore Developed by Singapore listed developer Oxley Holdings Limited has just 24 units. The site is a narrow strip of rectangular plot of land. T.O.P. Is just one year (2023) before the start of Period 9 Flying Star Feng Shui.

Part 2 - Case Study: History of the plot of land: The Garden Residences In 1966, Serangoon Garden Government High School occupies this plot of land where The Garden Residences occupies today. The Garden Residences will only be occupying the former Serangoon Garden Government High School site. Thus, the school buildings have to be demolished before this development could be built on this land. While the other former site: a vocational school: Lichfield Secondary Vocational School site is today a vacant plot of land. (Note: Vocational Schools were the forerunner of today's ITE. Where not so academic students get to learn tradework such as metallugy and woodworking) In 2007, the above two schools were taken over temporarily by Paya Lebar Methodist Girls Secondary School:- Above, prior to 2007, Serangoon North Avenue 1 was known as Jalan Hwi Yoh. And The Garden Residences may have it's address read as above instead of Serangoon North Ave 1. As you know, today The Garden Residences is currently being built on this former school land. This is why the odd shaped plot of land:- The existing Sri Darma Muneeswaran Temple is right at the apex of the plot of land. And quite a distance away from The Gardens Residences. Most likely this plot will be another development in the near future. Launching soon....

Part 1: Introduction The Garden Residences with 613 units is located in Serangoon North Avenue 1. It is located in the mature Serangoon Gardens enclave.

This development consists of 5 Blocks of 15 Storeys and another 4 Blocks of 14 storeys each with a mix of 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedroom types. (Note: KIV for review)
