Are you a potential homeowner looking to get a unit at the prime project, Berlayar Residences, during HDB’s October 2025 BTO exercise?

Harbourfront living close to nature could be a dream come true! Berlayar Residences is the first Build-To-Order (BTO) project to be launched in Berlayar estate. Beyond the convenient location and views, remember to consider the fengshui aspects as well! Here’s our in-depth fengshui review on this prime project. Read on!

Landform Fengshui: Berlayar Residences

In Singapore, the Five Dragon Landform Fengshui harnesses “hidden dragons”, which are man-made structures that channel energy flows. From the lens of fengshui, roads act as “dragon veins”, skyscrapers as “mountain dragons” offering stability, and waterways serve as wealth-attracting “water dragons”.

The five auspicious dragons, namely Eastern, Western, Southern, Northern, and Central, along with the Singapore and Kallang Rivers, converge to drive the city’s growth and prosperity, with each dragon influencing a region’s success.

Located between Berlayar Street and Berlayar Drive, Berlayar Residences, Berlayar Residences near Telok Blangah MRT Station is located in the precinct of Bukit Merah and Telok Blangah. This October 2025 BTO project sits near the head of the Western Dragon, where fresh qi tends to be concentrated. While this spells potential for career breakthroughs or visionary pursuits, energy can be intense near a Dragon’s head. Hence, such areas are best suited for those with resilient or ambitious personalities.

Fengshui Formation: Berlayar Residences in Bukit Merah

Based on landform formation, Berlayar Residences is part of the “Land of Buffaloes” formation, housing two buffaloes that have fled from Tiong Bahru due to the nearby formation “Combination of Four Animals”. One is located at Telok Blangah Hill Park and the other at Bukit Merah Central.

Buffaloes are known for their diligence, and this quality is reflected in the residents staying in these areas. In the face of pressure, they would perform better and display strong determination.

Amidst slowing global growth, persistent inflation, and geopolitical uncertainties, life can seem like a struggle, but let’s keep the spirit of the buffaloes in mind! While striving hard, always keep your health in mind. Here are some easy fengshui tips, especially for female homeowners to improve health luck.

Exterior 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 new home.

The Berlayar estate is planned with ample green spaces, promising idyllic and conducive spaces near nature without compromising on accessibility. Sitting alongside two green corridors that provide convenient access to Telok Blangah MRT Station, Berlayar Residences is named and designed to commemorate the area’s maritime legacy.

Its proximity to Berlayer Creek and the southern coastline means that some of the higher floor units (particularly those along Berlayar Drive) may get a seaview from their living room or bedroom.

In landscape fengshui, unblocked views are favoured as it represents the Red Phoenix, symbolising aspirations and a bright future. Such smooth flow of energy in the absence of points of conflict (sha) is essential. This is especially so for developing estates such as the upcoming Berlaya estate.

In fact, there are sites reserved for future high-rise development across the road from Berlayar Residences, hence potential homeowners should choose your unit wisely. Do note that while a higher floor unit definitely reduces the likelihood of encountering negative forces, there could be challenges to accumulating auspicious energies.

It is also believed that a household is considered auspicious and blessed with prosperity and abundance if you can see flowing water from your living room, especially if there is a large door or window that allows an inflow of energy from the river across your home.

However, it is crucial to determine the flow direction to determine if having a seaview is indeed beneficial to one’s household. If in doubt, it is best to seek advice from a professional fengshui practitioner.

Block 206A and 206B will be nearer to the main road, which means easier accessibility. On the flip side, traffic noises can be expected as some of these units overlook the West Coast Highway. Homeowners may consider installing sound-proof windows or curtains and blinds for a more conducive space.

Due to Singapore’s limited land space, there is a prevalence of multi-storey car parks (MSCP) within our local residential estates. This facility provides much convenience to residents, but at the cost of encountering 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.

At Berlayar Residences, those who choose a lower storey unit that faces the 6-storey MSCP directly (i.e. Stack 236, 238, 256, 258) are advised to install a window blind or curtains.

Internal fengshui considerations

When it comes to choosing an ideal unit, keep in mind that the main orientation of a house will directly influence the overall luck of its residents. The house orientation refers to the facing of your house, which can typically be measured from the main entrance where qi flows in.

Berlayar Residences features 4 residential blocks ranging from 19 to 46 storeys. 3 blocks will comprise 880 units of 2-room Flexi, 3-room, and 4-room flats, which will be offered as Prime flats, while the 4th block will house rental flats.

Based on fengshui analysis, North and South are the most auspicious directions in the Period 9 and 1 (years 2024 – 2063), and Northwest and Southeast are the second most auspicious directions. It is recommended to choose a unit that faces either of these directions or lies at the border of these directions to tap on the positive energies.

We have categorised the units at Berlayar Residences under the Period 9 Auspicious Home Ranking chart, as listed below.

All units at Berlayar Residences face the most auspicious directions of the current fengshui period. With appropriate fengshui measures, you can optimise your household luck to thrive further.

On the other hand, conflicting energies between both households may arise and affect harmony if two main entrances face each other directly. Several units at this prime BTO project have this issue, which calls for fengshui remedies.

Way Fengshui provides end-to-end fengshui services from selecting an ideal unit to helping you create a harmonious environment in your new home.

Did you know?

Money is not everything, but without it, you can hardly do anything. For those who are focused on building your wealth, you may want to be more mindful of your wealth position, as well as the shoe shelf, in your home.

The wealth position refers to a place where wealth accumulates. Hence, the space surrounding your wealth position must be kept clean and tidy. There should not be clutter, electrical appliances, or sharp objects around or at your wealth position.

There is heavy Sha (煞气) aka negative energies where the shoe shelf is located. Hence, your wealth luck will be affected if your shoe shelf directly faces your wealth position. Some people unknowingly positioned their shoe shelf at their wealth position. When this happens, their wealth is likely to disperse and one may find that it is difficult to accumulate wealth. Should this happen, it is best to shift the shoe shelf or avoid placing shoes within the rack.

For the uninitiated, the fengshui Period 9 is influenced by a wealth star, indicating growing fortune and propitiousness. However, the Fire element influencing this current period can be unstable. If you are planning to conduct home renovation to tap on the benefitting energies of Period 9, do get in touch for a fengshui consultation.

Which fengshui BTO units to choose in Berlayar Residences?

As with most things in life, getting it right from the start will save you lots of effort. More than just the correct placement of furniture or avoiding certain colours, home fengshui looks into compatibility amongst the homeowners and your living spaces.

In terms of fengshui, Berlayar Residences sits on a favourable fengshui land with all units facing the auspicious directions of Period 9. However, a detailed on-site fengshui consultation would be helpful for homeowners to gain a complete understanding of the unique fengshui footprint of your home and how you can optimise it to your advantage.

So, wait no further! Our masters will evaluate your units based on a four-point method, analysing the luck cycle, direction, Bazi suitability, and missing sector to make your fengshui selection unit a breeze. Learn more here.
