Source: HDB
Hougang Citrine, one of the two Build-To-Order (BTO) flats in Hougang launched in August 2021, was met with great enthusiasm by home seekers. In fact, it received one of the largest number of home applicants for a non-mature estate in recent years! Going in-depth into the property review, here’s the fengshui review on Hougang Citrine and useful tips to select an ideal unit if you are one of the lucky successful applicants. Read on!
Hougang Citrine: Landform fengshui
Located along Hougang Ave 3, Hougang Citrine sits on the Eastern Dragon of Singapore within the fengshui formation of the “Paired Lotus Land”, which represents good luck and happiness and favours females. The Paired Lotus Land tends to produce strong-minded yet traditional women, with the potential of making it big.
Hougang Citrine’s proximity to a number of schools makes it ideal for young families. Aligning to the landform fengshui, Master Goh Guan Leong also recommends young families with daughters to consider this area, as it would be beneficial in terms of study and career prospects.
Note: It could be daunting to select a suitable flat, especially if you are a first-time homeowner. If in doubt, you may like to leave it to the professionals. Way Fengshui provides end-to-end fengshui services from selecting an ideal unit to helping you create a harmonious environment in your new home.
Internal fengshui considerations
Hougang Citrine comprises six residential blocks ranging from 12 to 13 storeys, with choices of 749 units across 2-room Flexi, 3-room, 4-room, and 5-room flats. The warm, orange shades (Fire Element) of the development’s facade is the namesake of the estate.
Most of the units at Hougang Citrine face either North or South. As both North and South are auspicious directions in the upcoming Period 9 and Period 1 (year 2024 – 2063), it is best to select a unit that faces either of these directions to tap on the positive energies.
Units that are located in close proximity to the lift are likely to encounter unstable magnetic fields at home, and this could lead to household disharmony and health issues. While homeseekers should consider this, do note that there are fengshui remedies for such situations.
Another point to note would be that units with main doors that face each other will create conflicting energies, which would be unfavorable for both households. If you plan to select one of such units, it is best to consult a professional fengshui practitioner on how to minimise the negative impacts.
Exterior fengshui considerations
Many people have been comparing Hougang Citrine with Kovan Wellspring, as the latter seems to be more attractive with easier accessibility and more amenities. Nonetheless, the relatively ‘quieter’ location of Hougang Citrine indicates lesser potential points of conflict.
While the South facing units are nearer to the reserved site for the school, those on the higher floors will have unblocked views as they overlook the private housing estates. This is a point to consider as that indicates smoother flow of energy in the absence of points of conflict (sha).
For those who are considering some of the North facing units along Hougang Street 12, it is important to note the site reserved for high-rise residential development, as it poses potential points of conflict (sha).
