1. Some Feng Shui practitioners a have "rigid thinking" which they felt that any apartment BLOCK on "stilts" or standing on legs are no good. Here, some Feng Shui practitioners felt that the entire block is at risk of "loss of wealth".

 

 

For example, to these Feng Shui practitioners, so long as any property is not on land or on the ground and supported even by levels of car park are considered not good.

 

 

2. In Singapore, the Ritz Carlton hotel was "Feng Shuied" and was built on such a column "or void".

 

 

3. Again, in Singapore, approximately 80 to 90 percent of Singaporeans live in a Housing Board (HDB apartment). And as you had mentioned, many of such blocks have a "void deck".

 

 

4. From past experience, I personally find that most of the time there is no major issue especially for those living in a HDB apartment be it on the 2nd floor or higher level.

 

 

5. The main rationale why it was (or is) considered inauspicious to have a void below one's home was due especially to the idea that it is especially no good to have a bedroom above a garage or a car park.

 

 

For example, if the garage happen to contain flameable substances or if the unlikelyhood that a parked car burns, fire may rise upwards to the upper floors.

 

 

Since most Singapore HDB void decks are clean and no major combustible items are stored there, then it is fine.

Another example is formerly close to Chapel Road / Tembling Road / East Coast Rd, there was a petrol station below some shop house: because of the government's review, it was found that for security reasons and safety such petrol station(s) should not be together in the same commercial building.

 

The former petrol station:-
