Published: 2 August 2024
Adjacent to West Edge @ Bukit Batok, West Quarry @ Bukit Batok offers yet another resale housing option in the West. Completed in 2019, this idyllic west side housing project reached its 5-year minimum occupation period (MOP) this year.
Beyond the greenery and fresh air of Bukit Batok, West Quarry @ Bukit Batok is near to various amenities such as neighbourhood centres, schools and parks. Let’s take an in-depth fengshui review on this west side MOP housing project to see how it fares in terms of fengshui!
West Quarry @ Bukit Batok: Landform Fengshui
Bounded by Bukit Batok West Avenue 8 and Avenue 9, West Quarry @ Bukit Batok is in District 23 (D23) on the Western Dragon within the fengshui formation of “Strong Dragon Rearing its Head”. This fengshui land formation was created as a result of the dragon’s flight being obstructed by Bukit Panjang Hill and Bukit Timah Hill.
This indicates that this land is suitable for public housing or government offices but not so for industrial estates. People with strong characters may consider residing in Bukit Batok, as you shall be able to prosper along with the ‘strong dragon’. In fact, this is a suitable residential area for young and healthy people who are seeking success.
On the other hand, those who are mentally weak might feel oppressed under the influence of the strong-willed and ambitious dragon. Dark colours and metallic furniture should be avoided in the house, while red and bright colours are recommended.
The scenic landscape in Bukit Batok makes it favourable for those in the arts and literary field, while the dragon’s strong ambitions and outstanding capabilities imply great success.
External fengshui considerations
As one’s external environment accounts for more than interior considerations, it is important to consider features of the surrounding space when selecting a resale flat.
Located within walking distance to various amenities, West Quarry @ Bukit Batok promises convenience to its residents. However, homeowners should be mindful that this district is still undergoing development. This indicates potential conflict points, as well as pollution and negative energies (Sha Qi) during the construction period.
Also, West Quarry @ Bukit Batok is surrounded by high-rise residential buildings and sits behind Dulwich College. Residents should take note as high-rise buildings in proximity present a potential risk of conflicts such as Tian Zhan Sha (home’s frontage facing an opening between two or more building structures that funnel negative energies), corner Sha (角煞) where sharp corners present hidden threats or oppression, etc.
Such negative energies can result in increased anxiety and inability to concentrate, which may affect career and academic development. Homeowners that encounter such scenarios may display a pair of guardian lions or Six Emperor Coins emblem to ward off the negative energies. If in doubt, don’t hesitate to consult a professional fengshui practitioner.
Units that are located in close proximity to the lift are likely to encounter unstable magnetic fields at home, and this could lead to household disharmony and health issues. While homeseekers should consider this, do note that there are fengshui remedies for such situations.
Last but not least, the multi-storey car park (MSCP) at West Quarry @ Bukit Batok is 6/7 storeys tall. There are some stacks (17, 19, 31, 33, 35) that face the MSCP directly. Affected units on the lower storeys may encounter fengshui conflicting forces (煞气) such as noise pollution (噪音) and headlight flashes from moving cars. This could cause disturbances to daily life such as insomnia. To counter this, homeowners can consider installing a window blind or curtains.

Did you know that the main orientation of your house will directly influence the overall luck of your household member(s)? The house orientation refers to the facing of your house, which can be measured from the main entrance where qi flows in.

West Quarry @ Bukit Batok comprises 4 residential blocks of 636 units of 2-room flexi, 3- and 4-room flats. These blocks range from 17 to 19 storeys in height. Based on fengshui analysis, North and South are the most auspicious directions in these upcoming periods, followed by Northwest and Southeast. We have identified the Period 9 Auspicious Homes below. Do you live in any of these units?
Most units at West Quarry @ Bukit Batok face North/South or Northwest/Southeast, which is ideal in terms of home fengshui in Period 9 and Period 1 (years 2024 – 2063). While there is no fixed lucky direction that caters to everyone, those residing in a unit that faces East/West or Northeast/Southwest may want to consider a fengshui consultation as these directions are not as favourable in the current fengshui period.
Also, if your main door faces your neighbour’s main door, do display a round light in between the two doors, or hang a Super 5 Shield at the top of your door frame. From a home fengshui viewpoint, conflicting energies between both households may arise and affect harmony if two main entrances face each other directly.

Did you know?
Period 9 corresponds with the South, representing a strong Fire element. As such, one should be mindful of locating important spaces within your premises. For example, it is best to make adjustments if your stove (also of fire element) is facing South, otherwise too much fire energy can cause instability and burnout for members in the household.
In fengshui, the stove represents “the female owner of the house”. As such, the state of the stove in your house represents the condition of your mother or wife. If your stove happens to face South, you are highly recommended to consult a professional fengshui master for appropriate fengshui measures.
