Published: 6 Feb 2025
Situated along Northshore Drive and lining the scenic Punggol Northshore seafront, Northshore StraitsView is an award-winning HDB that reaches its minimum occupancy period (MOP) in 2025. Recognised for its strong design identity and architectural features, this 5-year BTO development has many sea-front units hitting million dollar mark.
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 and sea views, could Northshore StraitsView be your ideal fengshui home? Let’s take an in-depth residential fengshui review to find out. Read on!
Northshore StraitsView: Landform Fengshui

Located at Northshore Drive, Northshore StraitsView is located in Punggol Northshore, near to Northshore Residences I and Northshore Residences II. This seafront development sits on the Eastern Dragon in one of Singapore’s crab lands, specifically resembling a ‘hairy crab’. The land formation here is known as the “Crab Suppressed by Rock” formation.
A crab land is symbolic of strength and vigour. Although highly driven to reach the top, the crab is prone to making rash decisions in its unyielding pursuit for success. Fortunately, it is held in place by a big rock. This means that residents in Punggol are controlled in their journey for progress, striking a harmonious balance at all times.
Located in the Northeast region of Singapore, Punggol has developed rapidly over the past two decades, coinciding with the fengshui Period 8 that favours the Northeast. But is it really a coincidence?
Interestingly, as we entered Period 9 last year, development seems to be slowing in this region with Punggol Point Cove (phase 2) seeing further completion delay due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The phase 2 development reached completion recently.
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 resale flat.
Lining the picturesque Punggol Northshore seafront, Northshore Straitsview is designed to have as many units enjoying the seaview as possible. 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. This is also why people favour higher floor units or seafront living, as such options present a higher chance of getting unblocked views. Nevertheless, do note that there may be challenges to accumulating auspicious energies, especially for higher floor units with a main door that faces the balcony directly.
In such situations, household members may find that money comes and goes easily if measures are not made to better contain the positive energies. If in doubt, don’t hesitate to seek advice from a professional fengshui practitioner.
Surrounded by high rise residential developments, residents of Northshore Straitsview should also be mindful of conflicting forces. This is a common disadvantage of high urban density, and a compromise for accessibility in a mature estate.
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. If you encounter such scenarios, you may consider consulting a professional Fengshui Master.
Also, stay mindful of the location and proximity of the Bin Centre or rubbish chute area. For example, the rubbish chute area near the main door of Stack 721, 739, 781, 787, 801, and 803 may affect residents if the chute overflows with rubbish. When the wind starts blowing, the rubbish stench would affect nearby households even if the estate uses the Pneumatic Waste Conveyance System (PWCS).
Located across the road from Northshore Primary School, Northshore Straitsview’s residents with school-age children definitely benefit from the proximity. While this spells convenience for some, it also means a more crowded housing environment, heavier traffic and potential Sha (conflicts), especially during peak hours.
Last but not least, several units at Northshore StraitsView are located near the lift or staircases. Stay mindful if you are in such a unit, as this may respectively result in unstable magnetic fields or unfavourable energies at home. Such situations could also lead to household disharmony and health issues. Do practise greater awareness, and consider getting some professional help.
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.

Northshore StraitsView consists of 1,021 units of 2-room Flexi, 3-, 4-, and 5-room flats across five residential blocks. This highest floor is at 26 storeys. A minimart, an eating house, shops, a Residents’ Committee Centre, and a childcare centre are also located in the development.
Based on fengshui analysis, North and South are the most auspicious directions in Period 9 and Period 1 (years 2024 – 2063), 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.
It is important to note that there is no fixed lucky direction that caters to everyone. While several units are facing the most auspicious directions in the current fengshui period, several units face the least favourable directions.
Also, if your main door faces your neighbour’s main door, this might be something you might want to take note. From a home fengshui viewpoint, conflicting energies between both households may arise and affect harmony if two main doors facing each other directly.
It is never too late to review your Bazi compatibility with your home before making decision to sell or puchase. Way Fengshui provides professional residential fengshui services with the ultimate aim of helping you to create a harmonious environment in your new home.
Did you know?
The positioning of doors within your premises can determine the energy flow and there are various fengshui taboos such as having a bedroom door open up to directly face another bedroom door. Having bedroom doors facing each other can give rise to conflicts and disharmony between the occupants of the rooms afflicted.
Units with the main door facing the balcony directly will also present challenges to accumulating auspicious energies. Unfortunately, Northshore StraitsView comprises some units having such a layout.
Besides that, it is also best to avoid a unit where your bedroom door faces the toilet door, and it’d be worse if your toilet door faces your bed directly! As the toilet is a place with moisture and stinky smell, the negative energy that flows directly into the bedroom due to inappropriate door positions will cause illness on bones and muscles. Over time, it may lead to a more serious illness as well as wealth loss.
The position of your toilet and where it faces is very important. It should not be directly facing your main door, kitchen door, or the bedroom door. As the toilet door is like a large hole releasing negative energy, it can conflict with the beneficial energy that enters via the main entrance, affecting your household members negatively.
Some units at Northshore StraitsView feature a bedroom door facing a toilet door directly. Homeowners may want to consider slight modifications to the layout or to seek advice from a professional fengshui practitioner for fengshui remedies.
Thrive in Period 9 with good home fengshui
The philosophy of Tian (天) Di (地) Ren (人) in fengshui emphasises on choosing the right place, with the right person, at the right time, so as to achieve balance.
Northshore StraitsView in Punggol promises easy accessibility, convenience and vibrance. In terms of fengshui, it resides on a positive landform with several units facing the sea and enjoying unblocked views. Several units face the favourable directions of current fengshui Period 9 too.
Nevertheless, a detailed on-site analysis would be required to determine the house compatibility with homeowner’s Bazi suitability. To ensure you and your household members thrive consistently in Period 9, don’t hesitate to contact Way Fengshui Consultancy for your home fengshui needs.
