Published: 28 February 2024
Paying tribute to the heritage tree in the vicinity, Tanjong Tree Residences @ Hougang is a new Build-To-Order (BTO) housing project in northeastern Singapore that was recently launched in the HDB’s February 2024 BTO exercise.
While Hougang is considered a non-mature estate, it has the perks of an established neighbourhood, making this new BTO project appealing to those who prefer conveniences in a laid back environment. So, what about its fengshui?
Let’s take an in-depth fengshui review on Tanjong Tree Residences @ Hougang to see how it fares in terms of residential fengshui. Read on!
Tanjong Tree Residences @ Hougang: Landform fengshui

Located along Hougang Street 13, Tanjong Tree Residences @ Hougang is a stone’s throw from Hougang Citrine – a relatively new BTO development. Both projects reside on the Eastern Dragon of Singapore within the fengshui formation of the “Paired Lotus Land”, which represents good luck and happiness and favours females.
A lotus land is considered auspicious in the fengshui context, and having a rare paired lotus with the formation “Mandarin Ducks Frolicking in Water” makes Hougang a truly valuable land. The Paired Lotus Land tends to produce strong-minded yet traditional women, with the potential of making it big.
Tanjong Tree Residences @ Hougang’s proximity to a number of schools also makes it ideal for young families. Aligning to the landform fengshui, young families with daughters can consider this area, as it would be beneficial in terms of study and career prospects.
It could be daunting to select a suitable flat, especially if you are a first-time homeowner. If in doubt, you may like to leave it to the professionals. Way Fengshui provides end-to-end fengshui services from selecting an ideal unit to helping you create a harmonious environment in your new home.
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.
Tanjong Tree Residences @ Hougang comprises 4 residential blocks ranging from 9 to 12 storeys in height. In total, there are 360 units of 2-room Flexi, 3- and 4-room flats.
Based on fengshui analysis, North and South are the most auspicious directions in the upcoming 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 Tanjong Tree Residences @ Hougang under the Period 9 Auspicious Home Ranking chart, as listed below.
Most of the units at Tanjong Tree Residences @ Hougang face either North or South. As both North and South are the most auspicious directions in the upcoming Period 9 and Period 1 (year 2024 – 2063), it is best to select a unit that faces either of these directions to tap on the positive energies.
Note that there is no fixed lucky direction that caters to everyone. If in doubt, you may like to leave it to the professionals. Way Fengshui provides end-to-end fengshui services from selecting an ideal unit to helping you create a harmonious environment in your new home.
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 new home.
Located within a peaceful neighbourhood next to a landed estate, Tanjong Tree Residences @ Hougang offers tranquil living without compromising on daily conveniences. In the neighbouring precinct, there is a preschool, eating house, supermarket, and shop.
There are also several primary schools in the vicinity such as Paya Lebar Methodist Girls’ Primary/Secondary School, Xinghua Primary School, and Yuying Secondary School – making it suitable for families with school-age children.
Taking fengshui into consideration, let’s look at Block 182C and 183C. Certain stacks overlook the private housing estates, which means unblocked views for higher floor units. This is a point to consider as that indicates smoother flow of energy in the absence of points of conflict (sha).
On the other hand, residents can expect noises and heavier traffic during peak hours, especially for the outer stacks of Block 183B and 183C that face the site reserved for a school. To reduce noise disturbances at home, you may consider installing sound-proof windows or curtains and blinds.
At Tanjong Tree Residences @ Hougang, some units are located in close proximity to the lift. Such units are likely to encounter unstable magnetic fields at home, which could lead to household disharmony and health issues. Fortunately, there are fengshui remedies for such situations.
Another point to note would be that units with main doors that face each other will create conflicting energies, which would be unfavourable for both households. In such a situation, homeowners can place a round light in between the two doors, or to hang a Super 5 Shield at the top of your door frame. If in doubt, don’t hesitate to consult a professional fengshui master for appropriate fengshui measures.
Last but not least, do take note of future developments surrounding your home. 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, etc.
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.
As for those who are planning to conduct home renovation or move in, don’t forget to choose an auspicious date before you proceed. The information is readily available at the Way Almanac App – free for all to download!
