Feb 2023 BTO: Jurong West Crystal Fengshui Unit Review
Source: HDB
Jurong West Crystal, a housing gem in the making, features crisp vertical lines that resemble the edges of elegant crystals, giving inspiration to the project’s name. This BTO housing project in the West was recently launched in HDB’s February 20232 Build-To-Order (BTO) exercise.
In this article, we will take an in-depth fengshui review on this upcoming BTO estate to assess its fengshui qualities and see whether Jurong West Crystal could be your ideal fengshui home. Read on!
Jurong West Crystal: Landform fengshui
Located along Jurong West Street 93, Jurong West Crystal sits on the Western Dragon in the precinct of Boon Lay and NTU. This area reflects the fengshui land formations of “Mudskipper Crossing the River” and “Roc Spreading its Wings”. Topographically, it is a valley land that was once a swamp, thereby affirming a water source.
As water symbolises prosperity, this region is a good place for conducting business. However, as the active mudskipper seldom stays long in one area, many businessmen tend to shift premises for new opportunities after acquiring success.
Sandwiched between Jurong East and Jurong West, Boon Lay & NTU is represented as a “third party”. This scenario calls for caution from the residents, who must exercise caution in their relationships and avoid becoming the third party themselves. Otherwise, relationship entanglements shall ensue.
The “Roc Spreading its Wings” formation represents the Yunnan Garden campus within NTU. A bright future lies ahead for those who are ambitious.
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 be measured from the main entrance where qi flows in.
Jurong West Crystal comprises 271 units of 3- and 4-room flats across two residential blocks of 18 storeys.
Based on fengshui analysis, North and South are the most auspicious directions in the upcoming Period 9 and Period 1 (years 2024 – 2063), and Northwest and Southeast are the second most auspicious directions.
The good news is, most of the BTO units at Jurong West Crystal face the most favourable directions. Aspiring homeowners planning to get a BTO unit here can consider the following recommendation:
North facing units
Blk 993A – 410, 412, 414
Blk 993B – 420, 422, 424
South facing units
Blk 993A – 400, 402, 416
Blk 993B – 418, 430
It is important to note that there is no fixed lucky direction that caters to everyone. If necessary, you can seek advice from a professional fengshui practitioner to help you create a harmonious environment in your new home.
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. It is always worthwhile to do a physical site visit prior to your property purchase.
Jurong West Crystal has much to offer in terms of nature and fitness, as the BTO development is located very near to Yunnan Park and Jurong West Sport Centre. Within the housing estate, there are fitness stations, a roof garden above the multi-storey car park (MSCP), as well as an eating house, minimart and shops – spelling convenience for those who plan to stay here.
The BTO estate is within walking distance to Pioneer MRT station. While commuting is easily accessible, some stacks (424, 426, 428) facing the MRT lines may be affected by the above ground track noise. Similarly, certain stacks such as 402, 404, 416 and 418, which face the MSCP directly (particularly those on the lower storeys) may be subject to light and noise pollution.
Excessive Light Sha and Sound Sha can increase stress and blood pressure levels. Worse still, it can even lead to insomnia. To counter this, our fengshui masters propose the use of soundproofing technology in one’s personal space, especially for bedrooms. Additionally, homeowners can install thick curtains to reduce noise levels.
Another thing to note is the high-rise residential buildings surrounding Jurong West Crystal. High-rise buildings in proximity typically 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, etc. If in doubt, don’t hesitate to consult a professional fengshui practitioner.
Did you know?
Bedroom fengshui is closely associated with the health and relationship aspects. Optimising your bedroom can help improve your general well-being, as well as harmony within the household.
If you are looking to improve your sleep quality, you may want to relook into the position of your bed. It is best to position your bed against a solid wall, which provides a feeling of support and protection. Arranging your bed to have a clear vantage of the doorway (while not being in direct alignment) is also good. For optimal fengshui benefits, align your bed position with your Bazi needs.
Besides the bed position, a headboard represents stability and support in your life, especially your romantic relationships. A solid and smooth headboard (without perforations) made of natural materials is recommended. Note that it is good practice to always make your bed.
From the fengshui aspect, it is also best to leave electronic devices out of your bedroom or hide them as best you can. If you already want to have a television in your room, you may want to consider placing it in an armoire or cover it neatly with a cloth when not in use.
Which fengshui BTO units to choose in Jurong West Crystal?
With its favourable home orientation and proximity to nature, Jurong West Crystal presents convenience and tranquillity in a self-contained town. In terms of fengshui aspects, it looks pretty positive.
Potential homeowners are advised to bear in mind the importance of selecting a unit that is auspicious in the reigning luck cycle and suitable for your bazi. Selecting a fengshui unit can also help you to create a harmonious home, improve mood and energy, and attract opportunities and benefactors.
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.
