Published: 3 Oct 2024

Home fengshui is about maintaining the harmony between man and nature, which will then bring about positive influences in one’s life. Surrounded by lush nature, could the resort-style 8@BT be your ideal fengshui home?

Located in the hub of Bukit Timah at District 21, 8@BT is a 99-year leasehold condominium that has just been launched. In fact, it has one of the best showings based on  launch take-up rate of projects in 2024 so far. Described as an exclusive enclave within an inclusive neighbourhood, the central location of 8@BT is certainly appealing, but how does it fare in terms of fengshui?

Read on as we conduct an in-depth fengshui review on this newly launched condo!

8@BT Condo: Landform Fengshui  

Located at Bukit Timah Link and approximately a 2-minute walk from Beauty World MRT, 8@BT sits on the Central Dragon and belongs to the fengshui formation of “Heavenly Horse Galloping Across the Sky”. In the past, one can hear frequent rock blasts coming from the quarry site at Bukit Timah Hill and these are akin to the sounds produced by a galloping horse.

However, the quarry is a thing of the past and the galloping sounds are gone. The “Horse Saddle” sits on a private residential area that shall aid those working in the public sector, but not the businessmen. As this is a “Warrior Horse Saddle”, businessmen would have to work harder with a strong fighting spirit, in order to succeed. Beside the saddle is a “Horse Manger”, which beholds the possibility of miracles.

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.

8@BT condo offers 158 exclusive units across two 20-storey towers of 1- to 4-bedroom units and penthouses.

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 8@BT under the Period 9 Auspicious Home Ranking chart, as listed below.

While all units are facing the most auspicious direction in Period 9, homeowners should take note that several units are facing each other directly.

From a fengshui viewpoint, if your main door faces your neighbour’s main door directly, conflicting energies between both households may arise and affect harmony. As such, homeowners are recommended to place a grey arc-shaped carpet at your front door. Doing so can help you to neutralise negative energies and accumulate wealth.

If in doubt, leave it to the professionals. Way Fengshui provides end-to-end fengshui services with the ultimate aim of helping you to create a harmonious environment in your new 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 at the hub of Bukit Timah – a  tranquil neighbourhood just next to Bukit Timah nature reserve – 8@BT condo offers the best of both worlds; nature and proximity to amenities such as the Beauty World MRT station being just a stone’s throw away. As this is an underground station, residents here can enjoy convenient commuting without worrying about noise or light conflicts in spite of its proximity to the MRT station.

There are several high-rise buildings next to 8@BT, but several units in this 99-year development offer unblocked views of greenery. In 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. Potential home buyers are recommended to visit the site and consider your options carefully prior to purchase.

On the other hand, 8@BT’s proximity to the Pan-island Expressway (PIE) means that residents here may encounter excessive Sound Sha caused by traffic. Those who are more sensitive to noises may want to avoid the stacks facing PIE.

Unavoidable in Singapore’s concrete jungle, Sound Sha can increase stress and blood pressure levels. Worse still, it can even lead to insomnia. To counter this, homeowners can consider soundproofing technology in one’s personal space, especially for bedrooms. Additionally, you can install thick curtains to reduce noise levels. If in doubt, don’t hesitate to seek advice from a professional  fengshui  practitioner.

Surrounded by nature, residents of this upcoming new luxury condo should also 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.

Did you know?

Some people think that it is a fengshui taboo if their windows in the living area are bigger than their main entrance. In fact, these home configurations are increasingly common in new estates, and is one of the features of 8@BT.

Before you start worrying, here’s the good news: while it is not recommended for homes in countries with four distinct seasons, having bigger windows in our tropical climate means better indoor ventilation, which is favourable!

However, it is best to avoid having the big window facing the main door directly. If they are directly aligned, the ability to accumulate wealth luck will be diminished as energy flows in and out easily.

If the features are fixed, you can remedy the situation by installing a room divider or avoid opening both the window and door at the same time. Displaying some plants at the window or having curtains or blinds can help too.

Also, did you know that Period 9 is influenced by a wealth star, indicating growing fortune and propitiousness? If your home faces North or South – the most auspicious directions in this fengshui period, consider seeking a fengshui consultation for your home renovation so you and your household members can better grasp opportunities as well as create wealth.

Which fengshui units to choose in 8@BT?

8@BT offers convenience in terms of location, facilities and amenities in its vicinity. Strategically located at the hub of Bukit Timah, this newly launched condo benefits from favourable orientation and positive landform fengshui amongst all factors.

Nevertheless, fully furnished homes with fixed structures can come with fengshui considerations that require further renovation and changes.
