Positive Feng Shui observations:

• The Protected Energy Reserve: MacRitchie nature reserve is protected from future development. Its strong natural energy will continue to nourish the neighbouring estates with essential life vitality for many years to come. The mature trees help to reduce impacts of strong monsoon winds and regulate the temperature. The residents will find that their house is their sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of fast-paced city living. In the long run, residents will enjoy better physical and mental health.

• Higher ground elevation: The terrain features a natural slope and elevated topography characteristic of the Thomson area. According to a well-known Feng Shui principle, if the house sits on higher ground, the higher the chances of success for the offsprings of the owners. The smart design by HDB makes use of the natural landform to create a "cascading" effect signifies 生生不息，更上一层楼..

• Elevated Views: Thanks to the higher base terrain combined with the tall 40-storey blocks, residents on the 20th floor and above facing South are well above the neighboring older HUDC Lakeview Estate buildings, giving them unblocked views of MacRitchie Reservoir and the Central Catchment nature reserve.

·Period 9 (2024–2043): Currently we are during Period 9, the Auspicious Facing Directions in Period 9, where North and South are the most auspicious directions. Choose the stacks that are North-South orientated and the new home owners will have easier access to tap into the positive energies.

Potential Feng Shui pitfalls:

• “Emptiness Line” 空亡线: From the layout (not actual site reading), there is possibility that some stacks will have this phenomenon as the reading sits on the boundary lines between the Feng Shui sectors. This can only be determined when project is completed and on-site Feng Shui reading is possible.

• Reservoir View comes with afternoon sun: This is trade-off especially for those on higher floors. The unforgiving sun can introduce excessive Yang qi which agitates the house energy to be over-stimulated. This leads occupants to feel anxious, restless, and quick-tempered, frequently leading to arguments, disagreements, and irritability among family members. But if you are able to manage the hot weather impact well using available cooling technologies, you can still possibly mitigate the negative effects and enjoy a comfortable living environment.

Individual Bazi compatibility will come into play as you narrow down into which block and which facing is best suited for yourself and your family.
