BTO Project Fengshui Review - Kovan Wellspring

Kovan Wellspring BTO

​With HDB releasing various new BTO projects bi-monthly, questions related to fengshui aspect of these new project are inevitable. While the houses are not built, we can use the available information to make fengshui analysis.

When it comes to fengshui aspect of property, are you aware of any areas to look at when selecting? (e.g. internal, external?) How would you select?

For a start, some of info needed include: age of property, orientation facing, property layout, surrounding aspect of property.

This can get quite mind boggling for someone new to fengshui. Today, we delve in to look at some of the analysis insights.

Kovan Wellspring Siteplan

​New BTO - Kovan Wellspring’s surrouding
​
Situated right next to the Kovan MRT and Kovan Hawker Center, this can be considered a prime area in Hougang. A good piece of news is this BTO project is mainly North South facing. Generally, a favourable direction in a property's orientation. 

​Surrounding this BTO project, it faces the Tampines Road and partially to Upper Serangoon Road.

A quick view of the stacks surrounding...

Block 215A and 216A would be facing Stars of Kovan on the opposite side of Tampines Road and or the low-lying areas of shop houses along Upper Serangoon Road. Generally, there do not seem to present any significant external structure that may cause feng shui issues. However, this is also dependent on any new construction activity.

These 2 blocks would encounter 声煞 with the noise generated from the main road. This is especailly for stack 142 and 144 that faces the busy cross junction at Upper Serangoon Road. Home owners may enjoy less peaceful rest resulting from this. 

Remember, as part of good fengshui, we look at all factors to ensure home owners enjoy good rest and time at home.

​Units that may not face North South

Take note, out of all stacks, 4 stacks may not be North South facing. These are stacks 142, 144, 162 and 164. (turquoise arrow, per below image)

Basing on the site plan, these 4 stacks are near the border of the North South facing sector. (Basing on the 24 mountains) As such, some of units may in actual be facing North East (for stack 142 and 144). Likewise, some may face North West (for stack 162 and 164).

In a fengshui analysis, each degree matters. Likewise, facing a different direction (North or North West) would mean a different fengshui for the property.

This would have an effect on the property’s luck. Fortunately, some of the North West facing units may still enjoy good fengshui.

​In the event if you do have a fengshui analysis for your property, your fengshui practitioner would be able to advice you.

​Inner units may be a better pick but some potential external environment risk

It seems that it maybe more peaceful with stacks in the inner facing. Of course, that is an assumption based on site plan. Units would least have a roof top garden which acts as a 明堂 (albeit not widely spaced) rather than busy roads.

There would be a community club built right next to 214A and 215A. (red arrow, per above image)

With that, those picking stack 136 and 140 should note of potential risk depending on the building structure of the community club. It is best to avoid odd or sharp structure that points to the stacks.

There also may be external fengshui risk caused by "wall knife". (dotted red arrow, per above image)

The good news.. or rather the good stacks....

Generally, there are possibly four stacks that enjoys the best fengshui among the 40 stacks. It fulfils most of the fengshui analysis principles and also the 玄空六发 system.

​For clients/potential buyer who have done the "Property Selection Fengshui Audit" for this BTO, you would have been notified of this in your report if this was the stack chosen.

Conclusion

All in all, I have highlighted some of the potential pros and cons of this BTO project. Of course, the areas discussed is non-exhaustive. However, I hope this allows you to have some insights in your selection.

Good luck and may you discover your choice units with good fengshui!
