Perhaps, this water feature tries to identify it's smooth fluid lines with water. But from the photo; it does not seem that nice looking. What some geomancers are concerned is the way it looks or rather portrays. If it seems to portray some unknown "spirits" or ghostly forms etc... then one should be safe and avoid such a water feature totally. Note: for this type of water feature... do watch where the spout finally lands "to"

Perhaps, this type of water feature tries to looks like a cave (Mount or mountain) and a water feature in the middle of it. This variant has the rolling ball effect... It is easy to maintain. Again, it looks like a variant of that "Aliens cocoon" theme...

This is a typical "waterfall" type of water feature. When installing such a water feature... DO WATCH where to water flows TO. We don't want the water to "accidentally" flow into our neighbours or out of our home....

These are additional photos of other types of water feature designs. Which are commonly sold commercially, today... This water feature has a rectangular solid based. Rectangle represents earth. While the circle represents metal. Perhaps, the designer was eyeing the Chinese Luopan when he designed this one. As a Chinese Loupan usually has a "bright red" rectangular earth plate or base; and in the middle is where the circular (metal) plate sits on. The Chinese Luopan also signifies "Heaven" circle centrepiece and "Earth" rectangular plate. This water feature spouts 360 degrees and relatively easy to "maintain" : little or no maintenance required. If one is not sure, what to get, may consider this one. But be careful; if it is placed to close to an open balcony without grilles; a child may inadvertently climb on it and end up becoming a superman or super person and fall off from it.

Usually, the two main components are looked at 6MS vs 9WS. 6 being Strong Metal and 9 being Strong Fire. Under the Five elements concept: http://www.geomancy.net/talknotes/talknotes.htm Under the destructive element or rather in this case, it should be known as "wealth creation": Fire melts metal to create wealth. As one school of thought also says: 3BS represents = Strong Wood; Wood supports fire, which melts Metal. It is acceptable to have YELLOW so that the entire "equation becomes a flow" where: Wood supports Fire, Fire supports Earth; and Earth supports Metal Here, Wood = 3BS; Fire = 9WS; Earth = Yellow and finally Metal = 6MS. The best or optimum flow is to add "water" (blue, black or grey) to make it a full 5 elements "flow". Too much metal given the above "equation" is not advantages as the chiming clock being metal would actually weaken the 9WS. The above is one way of looking at it.

In my opinion, this water feature reminds me of the various cocoon eggs in the movie: The Aliens.... What do you think?

A dragon figurine seats on top of a home's boundary wall.. perhaps to guard it....

No offense intended. If so, might be the first in the name of Fung Sway to do so. No prizes, thou.

You wrote: I am new to fengshui but i like to seek some advice from you about new house. 1. Is it appropriate for a property to have a protruding wall directly outside the bedroom door? If not, what can be done? In my opinion, quite a lot of "issues" has it's origins in common sense then Feng Shui. And because it is common sense, some may not see the association and then proclaim it to be related to (or in the name) of Feng Shui. For example; why common sense? Here, one must use some imagination: How often we see someone running or dashing out of a door (be it a room or even a bedroom). And instead of running into an open h, the child could not stop in time or the floor can be slippery and simply "smash" into or hurt himself/herself against this protruding wall. Because of what I had mentioned, ideally, isn't it better to haveclear space directly after we walkout of a door. In some instances, a protruding wall(depending on how much protrusion may make it more difficult to negotiate bringingin and out furniture e.g. during a move or replacing e.g. a solid frame bed; or for some; may have difficulty in bringing one of those huge massage chair. In Feng Shui; if I don't explain with the above; simply it is considered inauspicious to have a protruding wall, facing a door. and You also wrote: 2. There is a steep sloping road far behind the house . Does it have any implications on the family members? Frankly, for such things, I always feel; only the writer of such short two sentences knows what he/she is talking about. The rest of us is like: ???????????

From a Feng Shui point of view; ideally, it is best to avoid certain colour(s). For example, avoid bright yellow coloured mat. Contrary to some beliefs; some might say to also avoid bright (chilli) red or maroon. But (we being) Chinese should consider this the exception rather than the rule. For a Chinese, it can still be OK to have a red mat.

Hey! I look so adorable!..

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, the top ledge because it is broader, there; is a haven for birds / birds nest. Thus perhaps thanks to such a design, many birds happily started a family there - once upon a time...

Please also note that the pillars holding up the roof : if it slices towards an opening such as a PES balcony sliding door(s) towards the living room or a bedroom; this is also considered as a poison arrow(s).

Two more Feng Shui friendly layouts. Of course, this development Treasure Trove does have a few stacks that have the stove directly opposite the wc.... but they are further apart then some other developments. Please see attachment: odd-one out.jpg

Treasure Trove at Punggol Central/Punggol plus point is that majority of the interior layout plans are Feng Shui friendly. The developer Sim Lian which started off as contractors : main or sub-con has for many years now; become developers themselves. In this example, you will notice that Bath 2's WC shares the wall with the study instead of the kitchen. If the WC did share the same wall; then most likely the WC pipes or WC may be directly on the opposite wall as the stove. Which was not taken into consideration in many of the recent launches by other developers. Here, since the WC shares the same wall as the study, it is highly unlikely that a bed be placed as shown in the illustration. And if so, can easily be corrected by mirroring the bed / add a partition on the opposite site etc...

1228HRS in Cantonese sounds like ?easier to be / get prosperous??

The Hiller condo also has it's fair share of various layout plans where the stove is directly opposite on the same wall as the sink...

In case a bed is placed in this family room; try to avoid placing it as shown in the attachment.

Fortunately, because of the location of the Master Bedroom door; the shared toilet door has to be on the side as shown in the attachment. And fortunately, because of this; the toilet bowl piping does not share the same wall as the kitchen wall. A blessing in disguise!

These are some considerations: 1. Where possible, the stove should not (be directly opposite) sharethe same wall as the toilet bowl.

Some of us in our personal quest to get quick and on the fly answer(s) ASAP; whether it is by yesterday or in one or two days time; All of us must remember to be considerate for others. Others may equally be busy and cannot help as much as they can.... How does it feel to be chased by erh.. equivalent to "loan sharks"..

Contrast, the unfriendly pavilion roof with that of the attached illustrations of the under construction: Foresque Residences more friendly designs.... (see attachments)

Based on the Five Elements concept: Earth supports Metal and Metal supports Water. Thus, your company logo should especially have:- 1. Earth element + Metal element and/or 2. Earth element + Metal element and even can include the Water element. You have to take some effort to review the link, below:- http://talk.geomancy.net As the above link gives you a CLUE as to what colours and associated shapes each element is about. You wrote: "I was told that Logos must be round and not squares, round-shaped better? As in circle or oval?" If you have the time to read the above, link, then what was mentioned by you or told to you is not exactly correct.

Evolution of a nice and meaningful company logo. Please note that I have masked out part of the wordings on the company logo. The masked out area is in a RECTANGLE grey box.

Common sense plays a large part in Feng Shui. For example, in the two examples; it is best to avoid sleeping with the head sharing the same wall with the toilet bowl's piping. In this illustration; these two layouts have one's bed-head sleeping pretty close to the same wall where the plumbing of the toilet bowl(s) are.
