Published: 29 Oct 2025

Balloting for a unit at the prime project, Bishan Terraces, during HDB’s October 2025 BTO exercise?

Centrally located, within the mature Bishan estate, Bishan Terraces is named for its elevated communal green spaces and a central courtyard at the heart of its precinct. In fengshui, a courtyard is often regarded as positive, as it allows the accumulation and circulation of qi within a property.

Could Bishan Terraces be your ideal fengshui home? Here’s our in-depth fengshui review on this public housing development designed for community living across all ages. Read on!

Landform Fengshui: Bishan Terraces

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.

Bounded by Bishan Street 12 and Guangyang Secondary School, Bishan Terraces is located at the stable torso of the Southern Dragon, also known as the “Wealth Dragon”. Being near the Wealth Dragon’s body indicates stable qi flow, which is ideal for long-term residence or business. This also implies that people staying in this region enjoy central support and nurturing strength.

Fengshui Formation: Bishan Terraces

From a fengshui perspective, Bishan is believed to be a “Monkey Land”. Here, there are two types of monkeys with distinct personalities, each to be found at MacRitchie Reservoir and Peirce Reservoir respectively. The two white monkeys at MacRitchie Reservoir may be fun-loving, but they are capable of protecting the reservoir. This indicates good potential for commercial and technology developments.

At Peirce Reservoir, there are five monkeys that can each be distinguished by the Five Elements (Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth). Their influence is similar to that of the “Five Ghosts Transporting Treasures” formation in Ang Mo Kio. Hence, for potential homeowners who are lucky in balloting a unit at Bishan Terraces, your household members can benefit in the aspect of career and academics if your home faces a favourable direction.

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.

Located in the prime estate of Bishan, residents of Bishan Terraces can be assured of its central location, quick access to major expressways and the presence of reputable schools. In fact, Guangyang Secondary School sits next door, and there are two renowned primary schools within 1 km of this upcoming BTO project.

Aspiring homeowners can expect a relatively quiet neighbourhood in spite of its convenient location, as sits Bishan Terraces in the heart of a residential enclave, surrounded by existing public housing.

Designed with elevated green spaces, Bishan Terraces also features a central courtyard between the two blocks. This is indeed positive in terms of fengshui for its ability to attract and accumulate energy (藏风纳气).

Standing at 38-storey tall, Bishan Terraces rises above its surrounding buildings, promising unblocked views from units on higher floors. 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.

On the other hand, all units are designed in a way where the main door directly faces the ⅔ length windows in the living room. This could pose challenges to accumulating auspicious energies. Thankfully, there are simple remedies to such situations. Don’t hesitate to consult a professional fengshui master for appropriate fengshui measures.

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.

Bishan Terraces comprises 2 residential blocks of 38-storey each, boasting a total of 538 units. Potential homeowners can choose amongst the options of 2-room Flexi, 3-room, and 4-room flats. There will also be 50 rental flats across the 2 blocks.

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 Bishan Terraces under the Period 9 Auspicious Home Ranking chart, as listed below.

All units at Bishan Terraces potentially face the most auspicious directions of the current fengshui period. However, all units lie on the boundary between two directions, indicated with the warning sign. Aspiring homebuyers may want to seek a professional fengshui consultation for guidance.

Did you know?

In fengshui, an ideal home layout should be square or rectangular so that it’s free from missing corners and more well-balanced. This will also ensure the smooth flow of qi within the home, as compared to one with an irregularly-shaped layout, which spells well for most HDB dwellers.

Homeowners should also take note of the centre point of your home, aka the Central Palace. This sector represents emotional stability within the household, and should be a passive sector where qi flow is subtle and peaceful, so as to allow household members to enjoy emotional stability. Note that a kitchen, toilet or stove should not be located in the centre of the property.

While there’s a limit to the modifications that one can carry out within a fixed BTO layout, there are fengshui remedies to counter or minimise the negative impacts. A professional fengshui practitioner can pinpoint these areas of concern and provide solutions to ensure you and your household members stay safe and harmonious in your new home.
