Published: 3 Mar 2025
Being 2025’s first new launch, The Orie at Toa Payoh drew over 8,000 visitors to its sales gallery during the preview weekend. Located a 5-minute walk from Braddell MRT, the location of this 99-year leasehold condominium promises easy accessibility, and a range of amenities and services within a mature estate.
Wondering if The Orie could be your ideal fengshui home? Read on for an in-depth fengshui review and see what this new development has to offer beyond its convenient location.
Landform Fengshui of The Orie
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 Orie is nestled in the back half of the Southern Dragon, a fengshui position symbolising stability, support, and steady growth. This location benefits from the Southern Dragon’s vibrant energy while offering a more grounded and nurturing environment. In fengshui, the back half of the dragon represents sustained prosperity and long-term success, making it ideal for those seeking security and gradual advancement. However, as the energy here is slower and less dynamic than at the Dragon Head or Dragon Heart, activating qi flow through fengshui enhancements can help maximise opportunities. With a balanced flow of qi, The Orie provides a harmonious living space where residents can thrive with both stability and opportunity.
Fengshui Formation of The Orie
Located at Lorong 1 Toa Payoh, The Orie sits on the Southern Dragon, and belongs to the fengshui formation of the “Land of the Lotus Flower”, which is conducive for self-cultivation. Residents are advised to stay down-to-earth and hold firm to their values.
To complement the “lotus flowers” formation, it is believed that more water features and elements of “green” for all developments within the Toa Payoh district can bring sustainable prosperity.
To further enhance home fengshui, residents can consider incorporating water features at home and applying the colour green.
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 mature estate of Toa Payoh, near to Braddell MRT station and major expressways, The Orie’s location is one of its best-selling points. Its proximity to various amenities including respected schools across different age groups make it very family-friendly.
Standing at 40-storey tall, both towers offer units with unblocked views on the higher floors. In landscape fengshui, unblocked views are favoured 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.
On the other hand, if your main door faces the balcony directly, there could be challenges to accumulating auspicious energies. Some units at The Orie face this issue. Homeowners are advised to take appropriate fengshui measures to garner and accumulate positive energies.
Additionally, homeowners – especially those on lower floor units – should be mindful of potential conflict points from nearby buildings. In Singapore’s urbanised spaces, high-rise buildings in proximity can harbour conflicts such as corner Sha (角煞) where sharp corners present hidden threats, etc. For appropriate fengshui measures, it is best to consult a professional fengshui master.
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.

The Orie comprises 2 blocks of 775 residential units, ranging from 1-bedroom to 5-bedroom and penthouse units at 40 storeys.
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 The Orie under the Period 9 Auspicious Home Ranking chart, as listed below.
All units at The Orie face the most auspicious direction in the current fengshui Peirod 9. With appropriate fengshui measures, you can optimise your household luck to thrive further.
On the other hand, if your main door faces your neighbour’s main door, you may want to take note of the relationship with your neighbours. From a home fengshui viewpoint, conflicting energies between both households may arise and affect harmony if two main entrances face each other directly.

Did you know?
Events and happenings within a space create energy vibrations that can either be positive or negative. These are not limited to indoor spaces, but could also be infused into the estate that you plan to live in. Hence, it makes sense to understand the history of your to-be neighbourhood, especially recent happenings that could leave traces of remnant energies.
Prior to selecting a property, take a walk in the estate and take note of the features of surrounding buildings that may harbour threats of negative influences or hinder ventilation within your home. The main idea is to garner and ensure the smooth flow of positive Qi (energy) within your new home while avoiding Sha Qi (negative energies).
Sha Qi in the environment surrounding your home can manifest into loss of wealth, accidents, and sickness. If there are sharp edges pointed towards your potential home, then it is best to consider another unit or seek advice from a professional fengshui practitioner.
Also, established residential estates contain stronger ground energies than newer ones. Mixing old and new house developments together will allow newer estates to “absorb” the land’s energies at a faster rate.
The Orie is nestled within the mature estate of Toa Payoh, surrounded by existing HDB flats and across the road from Gem Residences (condo). This spells great potential for this upcoming development to flourish together with its neighbours.
