Landform fengshui: W Residences Marina View 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.
Fengshui Formation: W Residences Marina View in District 1 (D1)
Located in Marina View, W Residences Marina View 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 W Residences Marina View will be built on 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 View 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 feng shui 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 51-storey tall, W Residences Marina View offers higher floor units with 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.
Its prime location at Marina View, near to Shenton Way MRT station, offers convenience and vibrance but residents can expect higher traffic and noises. Due to its proximity to the Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE), residents will be susceptible to constant vehicle movements that indicate Sound Sha [声煞]. This is something to consider when choosing the stacks, especially for those who prefer a quieter living environment.
Also, some stacks at W Residences Marina View are bound to get blocked views due to the high urban density of the city centre. 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.
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 W Residences Marina View, 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.

Did you know?
A headboard represents stability and support in your life, especially your romantic relationships. Hence, a solid and smooth headboard (without perforations) made of natural materials is recommended.
It is also best to leave these electronic devices out of your bedroom or hide them as best you can. If you already want to have a television in your room, you may want to consider placing it in an armoire or cover it neatly with a cloth when not in use.
For optimal fengshui benefits, it is best to align your bed position with your Bazi needs and ensure you have a clear vantage of the doorway (while not being in direct alignment). If in doubt, consider consulting a fengshui practitioner for a fengshui review.
