Where perhaps what the architect wants to highlight is more prominent when the building is viewed at night.

Related: Which units are lucky at Skyville @ Dawson?

+++

Even if an architect is only paid to design the interior layout; at least; the architect should try to put themselves "in the shoes of home owner".

How true; always that: "We stay there, you don't applies!".

Just take a look at this HDB 4 bedroom flat layout in some of the stacks of Skyville @ Dawson. (See attachment).

A. THE LIVING ROOM

1. Although the living room width is of a generous or rather "too generous" size; instead; the architect should have should have an allowance at marking in red "A" for a reasonable sized dining table, there.

2. As a result of this no brainer layout; placing a small narrow dining table at C is a poor choice. And looks like one has to be "forced" to place the dining table at marking B = no choice!

2.1. Most of the time Chinese don't like especially for privacy issue; place the dining table facing the main door. Even if so, one may have to (and some say "forced to")place a partition .. to screen the dining table from the door.

2.2. In Feng Shui, if a dining table faces the passageway leading into the master bedroom;under symbolism; it is inauspicious if things like a scissor or forks or knifes or any sharp object faces the master bedroom door. Which may result in "accidents" and cuts for those sleeping in that bedroom.

B. THE MASTER BEDROOM

3.1 The master bedroom is equally broad. But it is not feasible to place a full length wardrope at marking in red "F". If so, even if one uses a queen sized bed; the walkway to the master window is pretty tight. Might as well become a crab-and-a side by side crab crawl!

3.2. As there is a need to service the air con thru the window space at D, it is no longer practical to place a full length wardrope at D. Looks like only a wardrope can be placed at marking E. Even so, it cannot be too long. Else, if the corner is not rounded it becomes a poison arrow aimed towards the master bed.

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

In my opinion, I much prefer an artwork that is in the shape of a meaningful "boat ; or boat-house" i.e. not the refugee type of boat is fair enough-?

External Shapes and Forms is at the mercy of the external environment.

Here, the architect of HDB Keat Hong Mirage (under construction) has cleverly placed a buffer i.e. the Multi-storey Car Park MSCP as a sandwich between the development and the nearby petrol station. A plus point, here.

But not so fantastic for the development Sol Acres (under construction).

Finally, after a delay; Boathouse Residences finally TOP recently.

In 2012; the leased showroom at the current Kingsford Waterbay site seems serene and attractive.

But, today, on TOP day; we find Kingford Waterbay site will eventually block the view of some of the units towards the river.

And Heron Bay is on track with the ground area being slowly worked at i.e. it's pool etc..

Boathouse Residence @Upper Serangoon

Good to have ledges to shade and protect from heavy rainfall in case one forgot to fully close the two side windows. (The centre glass is fixed)

.
But this is a double edged sword as the other concern is if birds decide to rest on these ledges and let go their poo...

Boat House condo, Riversails
and even Heron EC; all three
of you; step-aside!
There is now a new kid on the
block!
The new kid is none other than
the soon to be launhed:
"Kingford Waterbay condo".
Kingford Waterbay condo is in
my opinion one of the "few
rare finds" left as this plot
of land is at the fringe of
sungei (river) serangoon.
Close to half of Kingford
Waterbay's stacks are facing
the sungei (river) serangoon.
And these stacks curve to
follow the outline of the
sungei serangoon. As such the
stacks stretch from NE facing
to SE facing directions -
morning sun. What better to
wake-up with the sunlight
(with you). One can't get
better than this. Since, most
of developments that are
facing East/South side have
been built-up.
I pity those that bought some
of the stacks/units in
Boathouse condo. As even
before they could move-in and
enjoy the river view of sungei
Serangoon; this will be
temporary as they may have to
put-up with blocked views
thanks to the stretches of
blocks/stacks belonging to
Kingford Waterway.
At first, the words "Kingford
Waterway" meant nothing to me.
Until I saw where it is
located.
Anyway, even if this is a
"strange" or "misleading"
name; at least it is not as
quirky a name as "Boat house".
And with this development;
"Boat house condo" has totally
lost even it's remote
meaning... as it is situated
"far" inland sandwiched by the
Heron EC and Upper Serangoon
School.
With this new condo: Kingford
Waterbay; we can nearly say
good bye to all the empty
pockets of greenery and land
at the Apex of Upper Serangoon
Road. Thus, this stretch of
land is almost fully built up!
In my opinion; do take note
that to the right - a distance
away is the Paya Lebar
Airbase. And on occasions, one
do hear sounds of passing
military airplanes overhead.
Anyway, Singapore being a tiny
dot; on certain days and
times; even @Meyer/Fort Road;
one also do military planes
flying past heading also to
Paya Lebar Airbase.
As the planes come from the
sea to land, there.
Fortunately, it is not like
the MRT trains that are
scheduled to pass every 2
(peak periods) to 6 minutes
depending on time of day for
developments next to such
raised mrt tracks.

Under symbolism in Feng Shui, this fan's trio (three) blades are considered "too distinctive-sharp".

Thus, ideally, best to avoid such a fan blade design in the bedroom.

Does this design reminds one of a ships propeller?

Dear

Frankly, it is often wise
not
to read too many "wrong
books". And often reading too
many may result in "forcing"
us
into following too many
silly
"taboos".
The key fundamental thing
that
all of us must remember that
we are in this earth for a
relatively short period and
too
many of such taboos can
"ruined" our
otherwise
convenient life.
Take
the silly case of the
idea that " we
must not place
a tv set facing our
bed" or
must cover it day in day
out".
In past forum messages, I had
mentioned that if the argument
was that the tv screen is like
a
reflective mirror. Some wise
guy
would say that when we
sleep, our
spirit wake up, see
itself in the
mirror, got a
shock!
But what
happen if our spirit
wakes up, would
like to check
his/her hair or face
before
going off roaming around..
All these have to do with
"tolerance" levels. Some of us
can sleep very well with
mirrors
all round e.g. on the
wardrope etc..
but some of us
feel uncomfortable
(perhaps --
thanks to the thought
put into
their head of the first
story). It is like some of us
can eat very hot chili-peppers
while others cannot.
And if we
look at the new
monitor screens such
as LCD
monitors, we can hardly see
our profile in it!
The key to
Feng Shui is also
about qi flow.
Besides placing
our furniture based
on good
Feng Shui practises, it is
also good to have air
circulating within a room or
home. Thus also has the feel
good factor (cooling) and
often
good for both qi flow
and human luck
factors (feel
comfortable).
How
often do we see a fan
crashing down
on us? Often the
fan is securely
tied to the
ceiling. And rarely if
ever we
hear of one falling down and
"killing" someone. Perhaps,
many
more people would die
ina car
accident rather
than being hit or
injured or
killed by a ceiling fan.
Again, fundamentally, the same
statement applies:YOU STAY
HERE,
WE (Geomancers) DON'T!

Even though the WC shares the same wall as the kitchen stove; so long as both the WC and the stove is not back-to-back with each other is considered good (or safe) enough." From a Feng Shui point of view.

In addition, the large jumbo unit: the 5 Bedroom design:-

This 5 bedroom model no: E1Playout has no major Shapes and Forms concern.

In fact, it is good that for such a large unit; the architect
had thoughtfully cluster all three toilets in a cluster - together

Nowadays, the wall separating the two bedrooms is a "thin" dry wall. Take extra care (if any) if the TV set is mounted close to the bed-head of the bedroom 2. In case of EMF radiation leak.

A few of the other layouts e.g. 3 Bedrooms also may share the same concern.

Feng Shui of Waterbay EC

Unfortunately, here: the WC is back-to-back with the stove. Inauspicious in Feng Shui.

The architect should have mirrored the WC/Bath 2 so that the WC and stove did not share the same wall. "Damage is already - done!"

In a practical world; so long as the design and placement seems to work for you this is acceptable.

As frankly, there is no "bible" or "encyclopedia" to say that a dining table has to be of a certain fixed design.

Like our 2nd Prime Minister's wife used to say: "His (TT Durai's pay of around $600,000) is peanuts.

And this is in Feng Shui considered as "peanuts" if compared to some other considerations.

Dear CecilThanks for your comment.
The design is a mock up idea. The table
will have the size of normal table but
joint to the cabinet. Quality will be
corion top that will be attached
properly to the cabinet and the legs
will be a square type fixed at the end
of the top and also maybe another leg
with better design in the middle.I am
wondering this concept is acceptable?On

not be that stable

that some one may

weakening the

regular usage.6. A dining

every
little thing adds up. Even
just
thinking about it's association
with
one's career can be a
psychological
thing - feel good or
bad factor...7.
Perhaps, just imagine
this scenario: one
invites one's boss
and his/her family
over. And if the
table should collapse
and spill hot
soup onto the boss's
child; don't you
think that the person
will be in HOT
SOUP and may even affect
his
career-On 5/17/2015 12:27:28 AM,

Yes, from a quick glance (eye-ball) view; it looks acceptable.

Frankly, many of the concepts or beliefs in Feng Shui has more to do with common sense than Feng Shui.

Here:

1. Depending on the built quality; if the fixed side is not secured properly or mounted into the cabinet but rather screwed on with L joints; then there is a tendency for it to collapse; be it the constant placement on the table top or someone were to sit on the table top (whether deliberately or by accident).

2. On the other other; having one leg may not be that great an idea. One fine day, if this leg were to give way and the dining table is filled with lots of hot food and even soup; then this is a cause for concern if the hot soup and items should spill onto someone.

3. Such a narrow table should be considered perhaps more of a breakfast niche then say a proper dining table.

4. If the quality of that dining table is poor or due to heavy usage; if it needs to be replaced; more work and maybe some costs to dismantle it etc...

5. Common sense says that if the table as shown in the illustration can be quite long; that single leg may not be that stable after a while given that some one may accidentally kick it, weakening the joint and also if the plank is too thin, the entire table may warp thru regular usage.

6. A dining table may not be a true representation of one's career; but, like that say, every little thing adds up. Even just thinking about it's association with one's career can be a psychological thing - feel good or bad factor...
