House Hunting

Dear Masters

In hunting for an apartment, is high-rise or low-rise building better? Is there anything to do with qi flow?

In general, higher floors are generally more popular because firstly it gives a good view (usually unblocked by other flats). Also, under flying star above 7th floor onwards, it is always said that your frontage (usually the living room/balcony) contains virtual water (open space). Thus, usually higher floor is more popular.

As for whether which is better in terms of Feng Shui, you have to really check out the environment in relation to the unit to determine which is better. Doesn't mean that lower floor means not as good. Some low floor can be as good depending really on the surrounding.

One cannot just make a sweeping statment that all high rise building is generally better. There will always be good and bad units on low or high rise building. It is the surrounding environment that will ultimately determine the overall feng shui of the home itself.

Hope that helps.
