Located on the former site of Peace Centre and Peace Mansion in Singapore’s District 9, The Collective at One Sophia features two residential blocks within One Sophia – a mixed-use development that also includes a 13-storey commercial tower.
This upcoming 99-year development resembles a ‘City in the Garden’, with its harmonious integration of nature and the built environment. Home fengshui is about maintaining the harmony between man and nature, which will bring positive influences in one’s life.
Could The Collective at One Sophia be your ideal fengshui home? As public sales will commence soon , don’t miss our in-depth fengshui review before making a decision. Read on!
Landform Fengshui of The Collective at One Sophia
In Singapore, the Five Dragon Landform Fengshui harnesses “hidden dragons”, which are man-made structures that channel energy flows. Roads act as “dragon veins,” skyscrapers are “mountain dragons” offering stability, and waterways serve as wealth-attracting “water dragons.” The five auspicious dragons, 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.
The Collective at One Sophia is positioned near the Dragon Head of the Southern Dragon, a location of immense power, symbolising authority, leadership, and status. In fengshui, the Dragon Head is where energy is most dynamic, making it an ideal spot for those seeking influence, ambition, and success. This prime position fosters strong career growth, business opportunities, and social prominence. However, as the Dragon Head is also exposed to external forces like wind and rain, careful planning and energy balancing are essential to fully harness its potential. With its prestigious location, The Collective at One Sophia stands as a beacon of prosperity and distinction in the heart of the city.
Fengshui Formation of The Collective at One Sophia
Located at 1 Sophia Road, The Collective at One Sophia lies in the vicinity of Rochor & Bugis. This centrally located condo development sits on the Southern Dragon with the fengshui formation of “Land of Golden Ingot”.
In fengshui, gold ingots symbolise wealth, abundance and success. If an ingot-shaped building appears in a “Land of Golden Ingot” formation, that place will flourish. Residents in the area would be rest assured to know that the channelling of the Rochor River to an underground sewer prevents the unnecessary outflow of wealth luck.
This fengshui land formation is also conducive to places of worship and religion-related businesses. Thus, it is unsurprising to see the different religious sites located in the Rochor and Bugis precinct. Additionally, many industries such as medical, electronic, watches and beauty parlours tend to flourish in this area.
Recommended architectural designs include rectangular-shaped buildings, or structures that resemble a temple, Bagua or ingot. Square buildings, as well as green and red colours should be avoided. The most ideal colours are gold, yellow, and white. Homeowners of The Collective at One Sophia may want to consider these colours when furnishing your 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.
Located in the central core region of Singapore, The Collective at One Sophia is conveniently near to all amenities and services around the clock. Amidst the bustling city centre, the intentional design of ‘City in the Garden’ with lush landscaping creates an idyllic sanctuary for residents to relax and unwind.
Nevertheless, stay 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.
Also, The Collective at One Sophia is surrounded by private residential and commercial buildings. High-rise buildings in proximity can present 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 you encounter such scenarios, don’t hesitate to consult a professional fengshui master for appropriate fengshui measures.
Last but not least, the city center is constantly undergoing new developments. Homebuyers of The Collective at One Sophia are reminded to monitor the environment. Surrounding sites undergoing construction could pose conflict points, as well as pollution and negative energies (Sha Qi) during the development period.
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.

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. Consider consulting a professional fengshui practitioner 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 practitioner for appropriate fengshui measures.
