house at T-junction

[myfs_146704]

Good Day there!!!
Hmm... how should i start? well, there's a lovely house within the price range that i wanted to buy, its near to shop lots and daily necessity needs. Just that one thing that keep my mind wondering and pondering, cause hearing from people talking about how bad it is to have house with road leading straight to it. Considering on so many website that i browse, all saying in detail of particular tiny thing which might be hit and miss on the house that i'm looking at. Easiest to say i've drawn out a sketch for you to look at. its a site plan with a perspective view in the attactment.
Im just curious about it, so will you enlighten me on the issue here? Thanks again!

1. Thanks for the excellent sketch!
2. The key concept behind a home at a "T-junction" is always the rare probability of a "run-away" vehicle travelling in a straight line.
2.1. Most of the time such a run away vehicle is often caused by either an intoxicated driver and rarely a case where the car cannot stop.
2.2. Thus, in past forum messages, I had mentioned; another critical consideration is which country is one ini.e. right hand or left hand drive.
2.3. Next, is we use some imagination to figure out whether a regular car travelling along it's proper land ploughs straight ahead.
2.4. In you illustration; it is good to know that under Para 2.3. the car would instead plough into the front wall of the home. As the opposite arrow is directly away from the main gate of the home. Thus, not so bad.
2.5. What is often worst is to travel a straight-line and meet the gate of the home and subsequently;
2.6. From your picture, it looks like there is a solid wall at the frontage. And hoepfully, this would be able to stop any runaway vehicle and contain it at it's tracks (hopefully). PLUS the HIGH GROUND is an additional good advantage.
3. The above is the chain of effects that lead to the main purpose of why it is (commonsense) to avoid a home at a "T-Junction".
4. Thus other plus factors include; the bigger the compound the better; where is the windows and main door located in relation to the "t-junction".
5. The other factor is sha qi or poison arrow. For example, again it depends on whether is this an estate access road or a busy road. And how long the straight path is towards the home. And even things like whether there is a hump to slow down cars on that road. These are some other factors to be considered.
6. In general, I am sure, some of us have seen worst homes at a "t-junction" than what you had sketched out. Thus if properly "done" and if there are no other homes to consider; then this one is (not the best) but neither is it at the bottom list of a so called home at a "t-junction".

Further to what I had mentioned; earlier we were looking at MICRO Feng Shui or simply a 2 Dimensional look at any threats (a run-away moving object in a straight-line) or opportunities (high ground & surrounding wall).
We must equally apply Shapes and Forms Feng Shui via enviromental scanning using the top-view or helicopter approach.
The Helicopter view; shows three major considerations so far:-
1. A rectangular plot of land. This plot 18 is rectangular thus a plus point.
But be cautious, here. We have not seen any drainage behind the home if any. If so, drainage is another consideration be it behind or for a corner home; beside the home and how it drains out of the home into this larger drain.
2. Profile of the home.
Looks odd shaped (either missing corner(s) or protrusions).
3. Another more critical issue is: Does the corner of the Shopping centre pose a threat in terms of a poison arrow aimed towards plot 18?
3.1 If so, lets "forget" about the runaway car etc.. as this could even be more of a major concern - if so for this plot 18, first! See attachment.
3.2 However, from your illustration, if there is a row of trees that shades or masks the corner of the Shopping centre aimed towards plot 18 or maybe 20; then the issue of such a poison arrow is negated or neutralised.
4. Another consideration is the petrol station.
4.1 Have to be extra careful especially of the fumes and wind that may blow the vapours towards the home. (Cancer causing).
4.2 A petrol station in flames is another REMOTE consideration.

Appended by Cecil: I am crossing my fingers that google does not come after us for interlectual property rights issue. As it is always best to give the source and credit to : Google (in this case their map).

Hi there,
Thanks for your fast response in the information. very good elaboration that you've got there.
Well, i should have just print-image the map view from google in a first place to save my time sketching it. I've attached in this message a plan view. there's also distance indicator on the left hand bottom corner. The shape of the shopping complex which i think the level of the house im looking at is high, near to top of roof of the shopping complex. And also an attached picture of the front of the house itself.
Hope this time these will give a clearer picture, thanks again!
Best Regards,
HauMeng

These are further considerations:-
1. From the google map, the shopping centre is not a threat.
2. From your first picture, it does not shown any external boundary walls if any nor the high ground or high ground with any ditch or drainage that may directly stop a moving object in it's track before, it ploughs into a home. (This is rare but this is fundamentally one of the cornerstones in the concept that a home at a T-junction is inauspicious besides; the sha qi (movement of air/wind) of a house at such a location.
3. I am more concerned about the home very close to the petrol station. More so, about the fumes rising from say the storage tanks below ground and thru topping up the tanks via tankers and even people pumping fuel. If there is a tailwind towards plot 18; sniffing fumes can in a prolonged situation cause sickness and sometimes cancerous.
4. Thus, overall, I am more scared of Para 3 than Para 2, above.

Have taken a closer look at the googlemap:-
1. As there is a curve (in purple) which is good as it helps to slow down any vehicle; while the straight path is also a shorter distance; this is favourable; vs a long straight path where any moving object can accelerate to max speed. In this case, only high performance cars have such a power or force.
2. Furthermore, can really see the wall or boundary of the home.
Thus, in my opinion, the so called House at T-junction issue is not the most important concern.
3. Again, I am more truly concerned about tailwind fumes from the petrol station.

GOOD NEWS!
I have now kicked my addiction to rubber glue. As we have now moved into a new home.
The further excellent news is that the petrol smells so nice! I love this new home!
Let's hope the wind always brings this nice smell into our home!
Ain't it great to live near a petrol station! WE LOVE THIS NEW HOME!

Hi there,
Thanks a lot of the information you've given me, clear and concise i could say. Will be having second thoughts on getting that house, a lot of things to think of.
Very much appreciated with all your help!!!

1. Well all the very best in your house hunting!
2. Franky, most of what I had mentioned has more to do with commonsense. And many of the Feng Shui concepts is based largely on commonsense. Just that many don't link commonsense with FS.
3. In my personal opinion, it is good that you have second thoughts. As originally, on the surface, the main concern is about a simple subject: House at a T-junction.
4. But what really, really worries me is the fumes from the petrol station. IT MAY or may not affect your home. But, can never know how the wind carries the vapours. As petrol is light, it definitely can leak and may be cancerous. While diesel is heavier and less of a concern.
5. Personally, after thorough look, I am rather fearful of living close on the ground level and pretty nearby to the petrol station. As one can never compromise on health - prevention is better than "cure".
