For example Block 33 stacks 25 & 28. Wasted that it should have been that the facing directions of these two stacks face a "mountain". But instead, it faces water or swimming pool. Thus, a pity that from a macro Feng Shui point of view; this two stacks could not activate the auspicious Pearl String effect. SE1. For SE1 facing, ideally, water position to be at the frontage. Thus Block 35 stacks 29 and 32 even if it does not face real water position. There is still the Bright Hall or Ming Tang at it's frontage = virtual water. (Virtual water is yin water and represents clear space. Imagine a bird can fly freely at the front of the unit.)

Oops! I can see the upstairs unit STINK! I mean SINK!

I would share my secret recipe with you, but then I would be compelled to kill you. It is no surprise that food is far more enjoyable when one's cooking appliance is situated directly beneath a waste pipe...

I am not going to go through the Feng Shui portion. But, below is sufficient pure common sense will be enough to pursuade one not to... In my opinion, although the current position is less than ideal (akin to the deep blue sea). It is still much better than your proposed change:- Look at it this way: "The devil or the deep blue sea." The current position is like the deep blue sea.. while.... Three (3) reasons below are akin to a combined: "The Devil" :- 1. DID YOU CONSIDER DRAINAGE PIPES ABOVE THE CURRENT SINK? = "The Devil" 1.1 Unless the unit is at the highest floor; the current location where there is a wash basin always inadvertently have a waste pipe or a "U' pipe for drainage. 1.2 Thus, in Feng Shui; what could be worse? The current location which is after all not so bad (with the exception of the highest floor or penthouse). 1.3 Or placing the stove at the new location where the stove is directly BELOW the waste pipe? 1.4 As mentioned, above, nothing to fear if your unit is the highest or top most unit. But if yours is lower; do open the square "hole" in the kitchen ceiling; shine a torch light and you will see this waste pipe... above your potential stove. 2. STOVE NEXT TO A WINDOW AND DANGER OF FLAME OUT & WIND VORTEX? 2.1 Based on common sense, a stove close to the windows means that one should preferably close the window(s) when cooking to avoid either flame-out or if windy, hopefully the fire/heat does not blow towards the person when cooking. 3. IF IT IS A FRONT LOADING WASHING MACHINE & FACING THE NEW LOCATION OF STOVE 3.1 If the circular glass window of a front loading washing machine faces the stove; this is less than ideal. But a top loading washing machine is okay.

Common sense and Feng Shui. Actually, it is simply pure common sense and nothing else.. not even Feng Shui... but in the name of?

Resource on Can or cannot buy this home: http://geomancy.sg

I have no connection with this. But recently two clients brought this to my attention.. something interesting.. https://exhalefans.com.sg/

What does a geomancy means when he says "This home's Qi sucks?" It simply means that the home has poor Shapes and Forms Feng Shui

Under the Five Elements concept: Seven (7) represent metal element (weak metal) Black represents water element. And one is suppose to place 1 black gold fish. Here, under the Five elements concept: Metal supports or fuels water. In general, there is a higher probability of one of the 7 fishes dying. Thus even if left with Six (6) gold fishes; this is traditionally considered fine or ok.. As Six (6) still represents metal element. And (big metal). Thus, some geomancers instead recommend Six (6) gold fishes with One (1) black fish is still OKAY

Period 8 = 2004 to 2023. Expires on 2023. Next, Period 9...

As the title of this thread says "Layout planning of landed properties & common sense" Feng Shui is not everything. Thus the clue of this title is simply pure "common sense". Just because it is common sense and posted in a geomancy forum does not mean that this is Feng Shui. Many Feng Shui concepts are based on common sense. For example; there is a higher probability of a fire starting in a kitchen then elsewhere. The clue is: fire rises upwards. You wrote: "What can be done in such case?" There is nothing magical or mysterious abot what can or cannot be done. The best is to avoid a bedroom not directly above the kitchen - IF possible. Logically, perhaps one can add a smoke detector attached to an alarm panel etc...

What are Executive Condominiums (ECs)? Executive Condominiums (ECs) represent a unique blend of public and private housing in Singapore, offering residents the benefits of gated community living alongside access to essential amenities. Since their inception in 1999, ECs have become a popular choice for those seeking a secure and comfortable lifestyle within a vibrant community.

Grandeur Park Residences It is inevitable that whenever the archiitect or designer places a block such as Block 5 as shown, below; there can be a possibility of a poison arrow. The exception is when the layout is in a "smooth" U shaped such as The Tropica in Bedok. Potential poison arrow from Block 5 stack #25 aimed towards Block 3 stack #19 and Block 5 stack #24 aimed towards Block 7 stack #29

Grandeur Park Residences Block 11 stacks = 43, 44, 45, 52 & 53 are W3 facing. Block 11 stacks = 46, 47, 48, 49, 50 & 51 are E3 facing.

Grandeur Park Residences Block 9 stacks = 37, 38, 39 40 also faces Flying stars N1. While Block 9 stacks = 35, 36, 41 & 42 faces S1. Overall, Block 9 thus share the same facing directions of Blocks 1, 3, 5 & 7. The exception is Block 11 which I will share the readings in the next thread.

Does the compass readings from the Grandeur Park Residences match does from the streetdirectory.com ? I was able to exactly match the compass readings of both the sales brochure with streetdirectory map for Blocks 1, 3, 5 & 7. Flying stars Period 8 N1 are:- Block 1 = stacks 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10 & 11 Block 3 = stacks 15, 16, 21 & 22 Block 5 = stacks 25 & 26 Block 7 stacks = 29, 30, 31 & 32 And Flying stars Period 8 S1 are:- Block 1 = stacks 01, 02, 03, 04, 12, 13 & 14 Block 3 = stacks 15, 16, 21 & 22 Block 5 = stacks 23 & 24 Block 7 stacks = 27, 28, 33 & 34 Thus, there is a high confidence that compass readings from either would result in the correct Flying Star compass directions.

Park Place Residences @ Paya Lebar (Integrated development) is another new project just launched 24 hours ago. Will be reviewed once I have more details.

Part 3: Type D3 4 - Bedroom Premium with Stacks 15 and 22 with Poor shapes and forms when the stove is sharing the same wall as WC piping 1. Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui it is considered inauspicious when the stove shares the same wall as the WC as shown in this illustration: 2. Nowadays, one of the most over-looked is also the location of the centralised rubbish bin. 2.1 Thus before signing on the dotted line; insist on finding out where exactly is the central rubbish chute. 2.2 Avoid having the common bin next to the main entrance or facing the unit. 2.3 Many often only realise during key collection when they go up to their units:

Part 2: iNz Residence EC @ Choa Chu Kang and Flying Star Feng Shui 1. iNz Residence EC has only two facing directions for the units: Period 8 N3 or SE facing directions:- 1. N3 facing = Stacks 3, 4, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 16, 21, 22, 19, 20, 21, 22, 27, 28. 31, 32, 33, 34. 1.1 These Stacks/Units has the double auspicious #8's wasted at the "back" of the unit. Thus not as favourable. 2. S3 facing = Stacks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 13, 14, 17, 18, 23, 24, 25, 26, 29, 30, 35 & 36. S3. 2.1 Stacks are the best stacks for a East group person. As both frontage enjoys the double auspicious #8 wealth stars. And furthermore their facing directions has water. Bring great wealth. 3. Attached, please find a sample illustration of a Flying Star Period 8, S3 chart. 3.1. In the attachment: it is advantages for the [8] & [8] which symbolises : Prosperity, good wealth at the frontage of the home. Vs a N3 facing where this good stars are wasted at the "rear" which is usually the kitchen/yard area. 3.2 The only concern for a S3 facing chart is that so often, the kitchen may be located at NW sector. Which in Feng Shui is called: "Fire at Heaven's Gate". And this can affect the male breadwinner's career luck. 4. Thus for a South facing (S3) best to select a unit where the kitchen is either at North or North-east sector is preferred.

Under symbolism; Please see photo:- The 4 grey tiles are considered as a total of four (4) steps. While under symbolism; the single or lone white marble is considered as one (1) step.
