Landform fengshui: Bloomsbury 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.
Bloomsbury Residences is located near the head of the Western Dragon, a highly auspicious fengshui zone known for its strong, commanding energy. While not directly on the Dragon’s Head, its close proximity still benefits from the powerful qi associated with leadership, ambition, and bold beginnings. This area is especially favorable for those with strong destiny charts (bazi), who can harness the surrounding energy to drive progress, make impactful decisions, and rise with purpose. With this strategic placement near one of the dragon vein’s most dynamic points, Bloomsbury Residences offers a vibrant setting for personal growth, influence, and enduring success.
Fengshui Formation of Bloomsbury Residences
Located along Media Circle in the district of One-north (D5), Bloomsbury Residences sits between two fengshui land formations where the Western Dragon lies.
Being part of the land formation of “Twin Lions Guarding the River” in Pasir Panjang, residents can enjoy peace and prosperity of the area, which includes private landed properties, businesses, and sustainable F&B establishments. For the uninitiated, lions symbolise power and are believed to be prestigious protectors in Chinese culture, hence the land formation spells auspiciousness for developments here.
Nearby, South Buona Vista Road reflects the formation of “Flying Snake Crossing Mountain”. The snake is being chased by the eagle in Holland Road and it would try to counterattack occasionally. This calls for cautiousness, and residents who stay in this area should stay prepared and vigilant in the course of pursuing their goals.
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.
Bloomsbury Residences sits within the One-North district, which is a natural undulating landscape, with hills and valleys. Due to the site’s sloping elevation along Portsdown Road and Media Circle, the three residential towers of Bloomsbury Residences are raised by an average of 5m above street level.
In fengshui, it is believed that a house situated on a hill can produce positive energy if the hill is a gentle slope and is located behind the house. Potential homebuyers may consider seeking a professional fengshui consultation to determine which unit works best for you and your family.
Due to its natural elevation, Bloomsbury Residences also offers unblocked views of Wessex Estate, with the majority of units designed to maximise the scenery. Unblocked views are favoured in fengshui 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.
Last but not least,this new luxury condo is nestled within lush greenery, which is great but do be mindful if your unit is close to trees and plants. While plants may be a symbol of vitality and growth, it can introduce unwanted pests into our homes if they are too close to entrances. Besides that, trees can also deflect incoming auspicious energies.
Be it for residential or investment, choosing a choice fengshui unit can be daunting, especially for first-time homeowners. Way Fengshui provides end-to-end fengshui services from selecting an ideal unit to helping you create a harmonious environment in your new home. So, if you have doubts, don’t hesitate to reach out for a fengshui consultation!
Internal fengshui considerations
Homeowners should bear in mind the main orientation of your house, as it 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.
Tip: Did you know a physical Luopan (fengshui compass) is much more sensitive to the Qi, energy of the house than an digital compass? You can use our Free Way Almanac App to know your rough direction of your house. It is still advisable to get a professional fengshui Master to fix your home direction.

Bloomsbury Residences offers 358 residential units across 3 residential towers, rising 15 to 24 storeys. There is a diverse mix of 2- to 6-bedroom layouts.
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 Bloomsbury Residences under the Period 9 Auspicious Home Ranking chart, as listed below.
Most units at Bloomsbury Residences face the least auspicious directions in the current fengshui period with the exception of some stacks in Block 63. However, do note that these stacks lie on the boundary between two directions. These are indicated with the ⚠️ sign. If your intended unit falls into this category, you may want to consider a professional fengshui consultation for guidance.
As for units with main doors that face each other, be mindful of conflicting energies. If your main door faces your neighbour’s main door directly, you should also consult a professional fengshui practitioner to minimise the negative impacts.

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.
Which fengshui units to choose in Bloomsbury Residences at One-North?
Situated at the junction of Media Circle and Portsdown Road, Bloomsbury Residences offers privacy while being accessible to major roads like Queensway, North Buona Vista Road, and the AYE.
