Published: 6 Sep 2024

East side, better side? Well, Tampines GreenView that was awarded the Conquas Star rating  – the highest possible accolade for construction and workmanship quality – reaches its 5-year minimum occupation period (MOP) this year. If you are looking for a resale public housing flat with longer lease, you may want to check out this MOP resale flat in District 18.

Built in 2019, Tampines GreenView reflects its namesake with picturesque views of surrounding lush greenery from various vantage points within the development. Unobstructed views are considered a plus in fengshui, but is it really possible to get a good view in our dense urban living spaces? Let’s find out!

Read on for our detailed fengshui review of Tampines GreenView.

Tampines GreenView: Landform Fengshui  

Bounded by Tampines North Drive 1 and Tampines Avenue 11, Tampines GreenView resides on the Eastern Dragon within a fengshui land formation known as the “Talented Scholar and Ravishing Beauty”. This is an ideal residential area for those in the creative industry. As there is a high potential of cultivating talent here, young families will benefit greatly from the auspicious energies of this formation.

Tampines is also situated near the head of the Eastern Dragon, a majestic creature capable of helping inhabitants within its land to soar to greater heights. Nevertheless, those staying here are reminded to stay humble and down-to-earth. Greater effort must be made to maintain harmonious relationships, for without that, a breakthrough will be difficult to achieve.

External 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 resale flat.

Tampines GreenView sits across the road from Tampines North Hub (currently under construction) that promises amenities and convenience in this new town. This public housing estate also boasts picturesque views of surrounding lush greenery from various vantage points within the development. This is made possible with greening and landscaping around the project.

However, potential resale unit buyers are reminded to refrain from selecting a unit that is close to trees and plants. Plants may be a symbol of vitality and growth, but it can also introduce unwanted pests into our homes if they are too close to entrances. Besides that, trees can also deflect incoming auspicious energies.

The density at Tampines GreenView is pretty high, with the blocks built quite near to one another. Hence, keep an eye for conflicting forces from neighbouring blocks. Some units are likely to encounter the Sharp Edge Sha (尖角煞). This typically occurs when the door or window of your unit faces the corner of a nearby building.

Such negative energies can result in increased anxiety and inability to concentrate, which may affect career and academic development. If in doubt, it is best to consult a professional fengshui practitioner.

Also, some units are located near the lift or staircases, stay mindful mindful as this may respectively result in unstable magnetic field or unfavourable energies at home. Such situations could lead to household disharmony and health issues.

Some lower floor units (stack 228, 256, 258,262, 264, 266, 274, 276, 288) that face the multi-storey car park (MSCP) would be affected by light and noises from vehicles. Sound insulation such as heavy curtains could be an affordable option to reduce noise disturbances from the external environment.

Surrounded by high-rise industrial and residential buildings, potential buyers and residents of Tampines GreenView should also watch out for sharp edges pointed towards your potential home. These could be conflict points that are not ideal for homeowners.

High-rise buildings in proximity present a potential risk of 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. Displaying a pair of guardian lions or Six Emperor Coins emblem can ward off the negative energies.

As Tampines North is in the midst of transforming into a new Tampines Town Hub, stay mindful of the potential fengshui impacts of ongoing and future high rise developments. This may affect the harmony and health of household members, and proper measures should be taken into consideration.

Internal fengshui considerations

Did you know that the main orientation of your house 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.

Tampines GreenView comprises 6 residential blocks of 714 units of 3-, 4-, and 5-room flats. These blocks stand at 15 storeys in height. Based on fengshui analysis, North and South are the most auspicious directions in these upcoming periods, followed by Northwest and Southeast. We have identified the Period 9 Auspicious Homes below. Do you live in any of these units?

Warning Sign: These are on the boundary between 2 sectors of directions. Therefore, it is suggested to seek advice from a professional fengshui  consultation for guidance.

While there is no fixed lucky direction that caters to everyone, those residing in a unit that faces Northeast or Southwest or at the borderline of these directions may want to consider a fengshui  consultation as these directions are not as favourable in the upcoming fengshui periods.

Most units at Tampines GreenView face North/South or Northwest/Southeast, which is ideal in terms of home fengshui in Period 9 and Period 1 (years 2024 – 2063). To further enhance one’s luck cycle during these periods, homeowners can consider displaying emblems with the Water element, such as a water feature to “cool” your home. Take note to avoid Fire-related designs.

Also, if your main door faces your neighbour’s main door, do display a round light in between the two doors, or hang a Super 5 Shield at the top of your door frame. 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?

When it comes to positioning your bed for fengshui, always ensure that the bed should never be pointed with its feet towards the door. This is known as the “coffin position”, which can drain your energy if you sleep in it.

Also, make sure that your door is not parallel to any part of the bed. Way fengshui master explains that this helps to prevent energy from flowing to your bed too quickly, which can be unsettling and disruptive to your sleep. A good rule of thumb is to place the bed diagonally from the bedroom door.

Adding living green plants into your room can also add vibrant energy. This is because plants invite restorative energy and growth in all areas of your life. Nonetheless, do choose an indoor plant that works with the amount of natural light available in your room.

Avoid placing cacti or other sharp plants in the bedroom as they may lead to unnecessary conflicts. Artificial plants should also be avoided, as they do not bring any life to your living space.
