Hi Cecil/Robert

what do you think of the flats at strathmore avenue (queenstown). The orientation of the main doors are mainlynorth andsouth facing. We estimated that our favourable direction is east and we hope to get a unit facing east sunthere in future.

Dear Anon,

1. Please see attachment of the site-plan of Housing Development Board (HDB) Stratmore Avenue.

2. Units that are marked in YELLOW and especially high floors can be bathed by afternoon sun. For examples, unit such as 221, 223, 231, 233 etc..

3. Thus, in my opinion, not the best units to buy, here. Of course, there are other units especially high floors that are at high floors such197, 207 will also get partial afternoon sun.

4. Best if not sure, do visit the units (under appointment) on a sunny hot day at around 5pm.

5. As mentioned, previously, why avoid such units? The issue, here is that in many cases, the interior walls e.g. masterbedroom has soaked in the hot afternoon heat. And even at 7 or 8pm, the heat "releases" into the bedroom ... making sleep or rest unbearable. Thus a simple turn on a fan may not be adequate. Most likely need to turn on the air-con.

6. Under Flying Star Feng Shui, the entire HDB Strathmore should be considered a Period 8 site. Thus, under Period 8, it is more advantages to purchase a Period 8, South 2 (172.5 to 187.4 degrees) facing direction apartment especially at high floors to take advantage of double auspicious #8 stars!

7. Thus generally, North 2 facing does not have as fantastic flying star chart as a Period 8, South 2 facing. (As many of the apartments are either N2 or S2 facing).

8. Generally, east facing apartments are not as bad as west. Since usually the sun rises and bathes heat from 9.30am to 12noon. And afterwards, no issue, in the evening.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
