What door is the 'Front Door' in an apartment

[lberq]

I live in a fourth floor apartment and wondered if the front door is the door I use to enter and leave my apartment. The door to the building. Or my Balcony door that faces the outside. I have a swimming pool across the street that my balcony door faces. I don't know if this is a good thing or not.

Dear Lisa,
This is the " tricky " part in Feng Shui.
Under the Compass School of Feng Shui especially the Flying Star theory, the traditional method is to find or locate the `exact' compass degree of the main entrance.
Once you have determined the exact compass degree, you then relate it to the `birth date' of the house or if a major renovation has been done, relate it to this.
Next, a chart based on the `birth date' of the house and the direction of the main entrance door is drawn based on Flying Star calculations.
You will notice that the above is the first step.
Once all the flying stars have plotted, next you analyse the house based on the locations and any water positions.
Hope you understand that everything is not done `suddenly'. You have to piece the jig-saw at every stage.
The above is based on Feng Shui analysis using the Flying star and later analysing the Shapes and Form.
-- From another angle --
If you are not utilizing the combination of Flying Star and Shapes and Form,
Here, you need to determine the frontage of the house. Once the frontage is determined, check to see if the water position is in front and not the back of the house.
Under the second `method' you then apply the Four Symbolic Animals concept ref: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/four.htm

Warmest Regards,
Cecil

The text explains key steps in Feng Shui Compass School analysis, especially Flying Star theory, involving precise measurement of the main entrance’s direction, linking it to the house’s birth date, and considering water positions and symbolic landscape features.
 

Key Takeaways

- Feng Shui Compass School analysis starts by determining the exact compass degree of the main entrance.
- The entrance direction is related to the house’s birth date or major renovation date to plot the Flying Star chart.
- The analysis proceeds step by step, involving careful review of star placements and water positions.
- Additional analysis includes Shapes and Form, assessing physical features of the property.
- An alternative method focuses on the house’s frontage and checks if the water position is appropriately located in front.
- The Four Symbolic Animals concept can be applied for further environmental assessment.

Is the Sales Brochure Useful?

Introduction: For brand new just launched developments, there is no physical site to visit the completed buildings and apartments. 

1. The only thing we can do is to visit the show room (which often is close-by to the site) as well as obtain a sales brochure and see the mock-up of the development. As well as try to ask questions from the sales agent (if any).

1.1. We must still try to gather as much information as we can.

2. Summary of Case Studies in this article.

If the information is overwhelming. Pick and choose selective articles...

1A & B: Common Rubbish Bin
2A & B: Interior unit Dry Walls
3: Fire at Heaven's Gate
4: Sha Qi or Poison Arrows from Club-house roof-lines
5: 3 Panel Sliding Doors at the Balcony
6: Drainage at the Balcony
7: Air-con Ledges
8: Mixed Developments + Cooling Towers
9: Termite infestations
10: Coffee-shop below or near to unit
11: Water tank at roof-top
12: Lamp Posts, Pillars, Tree Trunks
13: Spice Garden in an EC/condo
14: EC/condo Clubhouse
15A & B: Pneumatic Waste Collection System
16: Look closely at the development's scale model for clues
17: Buying a Mixed development apartment
18: Survey or study facilities surrounding the development
19: Pump Room below a unit
20: Seven Commandments of Stove Placement
21: Is there a potential poison arrow from the neighbours?
22: Should I be concerned with a near-by temple, church, mosque &/or elder care?
23: Is the compass marking on the Sales Brochure accurate?
24: Sites reserved for Schools?
25: Doors face each other? [Main Door/Bedrooms]
26: Unit numbers with 4, 44 or 444 Okay?
27: Stove or sink or WC at the Centre of the house?

3. It is always an excellent idea to spent some time to scrutinise a prospective sales brochure of our potential buy (purchase).

4. Recently, more and more clients have discovered to their shock (horror) that the least expected was the location of the central rubbish bin outside their unit.

5. A year ago; many had purchased a premium unit within the development .. and later shocked to learn that the central rubbish chute (for their entire floor) is just next to their main door!

6. Thus the morale of the story is to check first before signing on the dotted line.

7. In general, most developments have these:-

8.1. A central rubbish collection centre / rubbish bin collection point

8.2. Power Sub-station. Every development usually has one or more of these depending on the size of the development.

8.3. Design of club-house roof-lines / trellis / gazebo / pavilion. Are the designs a "threat" e.g. with spikes or like a razor's edge? Usually these are aimed towards lower storeys.

8.4. Any poison arrows in the form of a sharp corner of another block of neighbouring stack aimed towards one's balcony (hard to cure) or towards one's windows (if any)

8.5. Location of areas like BBQ pits and any impact e.g. the smell from these pits towards a unit.. especially low storeys such as #01  or #02 first or second storeys

8.6. Any tree trunk aimed towards a lower unit e.g. #01 or #02. Unfortunately it may be too late; especially if the development is under construction.

9. There are lots more considerations...  

9.1. Do remember "Read in-between" the lines..
