There is a science and art of aquarium placement. But this is beyond this forum. There are work involved to plot, review and comment on this. Takes effort. You have to in this case, go by your feel.

Actually even with the cremation of human beings, there will always be bone fragments especially some skull and other bones. Cremation is thus considered neutral. No more "physical body". It has more to do with psychology of the concern of seeing bone fragments. This is in my opinon a non-issue.

As for now, with these two photos; most likely the frontage is at A:

Frankly, this has first and foremost to do with common sense. And common sense led to taboos. 1. Upon entering a home, the initial impression is crucial. Therefore, if the dining table is disorganized, it may create a negative impact. 2. In case the family is enjoying a lavish meal and the main door is left open, outsiders may have a glimpse into our personal space, breaching our privacy. 3. It is due to these significant issues that the concept of inauspicious Feng Shui arises. 4. To counteract this, ensure that if the dining table faces the main door, it is kept clean and orderly. 5. If discomfort persists, consider relocating the dining table or installing a partition for privacy.

A dedicated foyer for the two bins: recycling and common. This concept is not new. As CDL had first started this at The Sail condo at Marina Bay. Although well ventilated; but it is beside of the the access gates..,

Majority of the five and four bedroom flats either face NE1 or SW1. While some stacks fact SE1 and NW3.

Another sterling example is that of Tampines Street 44. As far as The Eye can see; there are So many estates here with air well type of configuration Looks like many will not even link these to air well type of development..but it is macro of things a larger collective air well like layout...or profile..considered close-to it.. For example: blocks 498A, 498B etc... really have air wells..

Another newer HDB development: Hougang Parkedge also has a triangular shaped air well. For example: block 473A, B, C and D. Thus air wells are nothing really frightening..Of course, some are not fully enclosed.

The Old House at Upper Serangoon Road was redeveloped with an air well..

Another example of blocks with air well is at Heritage View, Dover. A huge void as shown below:-

Sorry, this period, my hands are tied given that I have to go onsite for many ECs/condos TOP = Sol Acres EC, Wandervale close ;not including PARC Life, The Criterion, Coco Palms..etc.. etc.. including HDBs ..140.. Corporation ... etc.. So.. have to put on hold many reviews... There simply isn’t any time left.. this period..

Frankly, air wells are nothing new. In fact, I can immediately recall this HDB development such as blocks 584, 585, 596 etc... There are many HDB estates with such similar characteristics. Although many don’t even realise this. For example: Eunos Tenaga Ville, Eunos Damai Ville, shows some vague resemblance to such airwells. Eunos Spring also bears this resemble abit a much larger scale: as it involves many blocks instead of one single block: which of course seems more pronounced! For example, please take a look below:- Blocks 132, 135, with 133 and 134 and more pronounced are a combination of 128 with 127, 130 and 131 makes a large “air well like” development. In general, for Eunos Spring and there are lots of these scattered all over the island, air wells surrounded by other air wells... In addition, the architects in the past had done this: such as the prewar closed courtyards. And tightly packed terrace houses with internal airwells etc..

A murder cum suicide at Q Bay Residences. A 35-year-old woman was found dead at block 3 Tampines St 86 (Q Bay Residences) on 1st May 2018. The other also 35 years old: a male person (her Husband) was found injured with multiple stab wounds in their unit. The man later succumbed to his injuried and passed away at Changi General Hospital. They were a married couple, who are believed to be Filipino. The couple’s only child, a 14 year old, reportedly witnessed the fight and was found in the unit. Apparently the woman fell down from her condo unit.

This is just a hypothetical illustration. Taken from One Sims Lane building. Some HDB drop off rooflines are as pronounced as this semi circular arc. It can be come a potential Sha Qi or poison arrow if the “blade” points towards a unit’s living room windows or bedroom windows. Note: this is not found in this estate. I am just giving an illustration, that’s all.

In my opinion, the main road you mentioned is really not a “main road”. But rather this is the estate’s road or commonly referred to as a service road. Often a main road leads to a service road. And as the name suggest; the service road is a means to “service” the estate. Since this is not a main road, there is relatively no concern. Unless the government decides to hold a rally much like the formula one. Then again, this is not plausible in this estate. Low floors especially 1st (void deck?) and 2nd storey should be avoided because of the concern (if any) of poison arrow(s) if any from a pedestrian walkway or even that of the drop-off point. But looking at the siteplan, highly unlikely, here. More likely traffics noise for this stack, may be heard more from the living room / bedroom side. This some might prefer higher floors. Generally 5th storey is in my opinion a fair level. Of course, higher is preferred. Not withstanding more money (costs).

Pool facing unit is generally acceptable. More importantly, you and or family member’s.. feel of the place..

No harm placing close-by to the former stove or if the previous stove space is still a table TOP, can place it at the former stove position. Look at it this way: Many new "owners" of new HDB flats have kitchens with only the flooring done. Here, many have placed these items roughly at a spot in the kitchen which they felt could be the location of a potential stove.
