“OMG” is the first thing that comes to mind upon the launch of One Marina Gardens, with its prestigious location next to Gardens by the Bay. Think waterfront location with unrivalled sea views, and city views of Gardens by the Bay, Marina Barrage, and the downtown cityscape!
Being the first residential project in the reclaimed Marina South, how would One Marina Gardens fare in terms of residential fengshui? Read on for our in-depth fengshui review to find out!
Landform fengshui: One Marina Gardens in District 1 (D1)
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.
One Marina Gardens is strategically positioned near the head of the Central Dragon, a prime fengshui location that radiates powerful and authoritative energy. As the Dragon’s Head represents leadership, vision, and bold momentum, this area is especially suited for individuals with strong destiny charts (bazi) who are ready to take charge and make a lasting impact. The qi here is vibrant and commanding, supporting those with ambition, clarity, and the courage to lead. With its prestigious placement near the Central Dragon’s Head, One Marina Gardens offers an inspiring environment for trailblazers and visionaries to thrive and shape their legacy.
Fengshui Formation of One Marina Gardens
Located at Marina Gardens Lane in Marina South, One Marina Gardens sits on the Central Dragon within the fengshui formation of “Flying Dragon in the Sky”. This is a strategic point where the Western, Southern, and Central Dragons congregate.
As One Marina Gardens will be built upon reclaimed land, some may question whether reclaimed land possesses earth qi (energy), a vital element in fengshui. Such doubts are indeed reasonable. Man-made reclaimed land requires at least 10 to 20 years for earth qi to develop.
Marina South was reclaimed between the 1970s and 1990s with the final reclamation completed in 1994. More than three decades have passed and this land is deemed able to receive qi from the dragon pulse and thus transformed into a fengshui treasure land. Therefore, interested homebuyers can rest assured when considering this 99-year leasehold development.
With careful planning and development, this region harbours great potential for huge achievements. Hence, the flourishing integrated resort, financial centre and attraction, exhibiting the prowess of “Flying Dragon in the Sky” and benefiting those who stay in proximity.
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.
Standing at 30 and 44 storey tall, the two residential towers of One Marina Gardens offer its residents unblocked views of the city and waterfront. In landscape fengshui, 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 water body across your home.
Nevertheless, it is crucial to determine the water flow direction to determine if having a view of the flowing water is indeed beneficial to one’s household. If in doubt, it is best to seek advice from a professional fengshui practitioner.
As the downtown core has been undergoing redevelopment, those planning to purchase a home at One Marina Gardens should stay updated on surrounding future high-rise developments. For example, the u/c Marina Gardens Crescent (a mixed-use development) sits across One Marina Gardens, potentially posing some blockages or conflict points.
High-rise buildings in proximity often 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. Hence, it is important to note potential conflict points, as well as pollution and negative energies (Sha Qi) during and after the construction period. If in doubt, don’t hesitate to consult a professional fengshui master for appropriate fengshui measures.
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 about One Marina Gardens, 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.

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 One Marina Gardens under the Period 9 Auspicious Home Ranking chart, as listed below.
A number of units at One Marina Gardens face the 2nd most auspicious directions in the current fengshui period while the majority lies 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?
The Kun sector, located in the Southwest of your home, is one area that you should not overlook! It represents the mother (matriarch energy), which denotes empathy, harmony and relationships.
The main element of this area is Earth, hence water features are recommended here. To ensure good health and stable emotions, plants should not be placed in this area. Also, this is a sector that should not be in the kitchen, toilet or storeroom.
For those who are scratching your head over where the Southwest sector in your home is, don’t worry! You are just a step from improving your home fengshui and luck. Read this to locate the sectors within your living space.
Besides that, keep a lookout for the South sector / facing as it corresponds with Period 9, and represents a strong Fire element. For example, adjustments are recommended 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. If your stove happens to face South, consider consulting a professional fengshui master for appropriate fengshui measures.
