Published: 5 Dec 2024
Lauded for its design concepts and the attention to detail, The Commodore is an award-winning 99-year leasehold condominium located in northern Singapore in District 27 (D27). Completed in 2024, this new private residential project promises resort-style living with a superb location – convenient to many amenities.
Wondering how The Commodore fares in terms of fengshui? Could it be your ideal fengshui home or a worthy investment? Let’s take an in-depth residential fengshui review to find out. Read on!
The Commodore at Canberra: Landform Fengshui
Situated at Canberra Drive near The Watergardens , The Commodore condo sits on the Southern Dragon amidst the fengshui land formation of “Thriving Bamboos”.
Bamboos, being an auspicious symbol in Chinese culture, indicate the potential for growth and progress. This formation promises positive influences for residents in this area. Potential homeowners or residents on this land can tap on the positive energies of the “Land of Thriving Bamboos”, as long as you remain down-to-earth, work hard and take all matters in stride.
Nevertheless, residents of The Commodore, especially those with elderly and young children, should note that this region is susceptible to strong Northeast winds, in particular during the year end monsoon season. As this may cause you or your loved ones to catch a cold easily, do take extra consideration when designing your living space.
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 new home.
Located in the tranquil neighbourhood of Canberra next to The Watergardens, The Commodore is within walking distance to the Canberra MRT station and near several malls and schools. Set along a minor road of private and public residences, noise disturbances will be kept to a minimum as compared to being on the main road facing the MRT station, which is a plus point.
Nevertheless, the six residential blocks are built rather near to one another – a common disadvantage of high urban density, which indicates a greater likelihood of encountering conflicting forces.
Homeowners are advised to watch out for Constriction Sha, which occurs when air currents between two buildings converge to charge at one being sandwiched in between. As residents open the windows for ventilation, inauspicious energies will enter the home, leading to listlessness and pessimism. Should your main door be directly in the line of Constriction Sha, you may consider installing a partition or displaying plants at the entrance to deflect its flow.
Also, if your main door faces the balcony directly, there could be challenges to accumulating auspicious energies. Several units at The Commodore face this issue. Homeowners should take appropriate fengshui measures to garner and accumulate positive energies. If in doubt, it is best to consult a professional fengshui practitioner.
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.

The Commodore comprises 219 units across 6 blocks of 5-storey residential development, ranging between 1- to 5-Bedroom apartments.
Based on fengshui analysis, North and South are the most auspicious directions in the current Period 9 and Period 1 (years 2024 – 2063), followed by Northwest and Southeast. We have categorised the units under the Period 9 Auspicious Home Ranking chart, as listed below.
All units at The Commodore face the most auspicious directions in the current fengshui period. With appropriate fengshui measures, you can optimise your household luck to thrive further.
On the other hand, 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?
Period 9, which corresponds with the South, represents a strong Fire element. Hence, it is crucial to locate important spaces within your premises. For example, it is best to make adjustments if your stove (also of fire element) is facing South, otherwise too much fire energy can cause instability and burnout for members in the household.
Also, you may have come across an ancient Chinese saying, “火烧天门不利主”. This translates literally as “Fire Burning Heaven’s Gate” – a home configuration that is believed to be detrimental to the homeowner in terms of fengshui. This occurs if your kitchen is located in the Northwest sector at home.
In fengshui, the Northwest sector (Qian) represents the Heaven, father or husband of a household. It is also associated with the Metal element. As such, this sector can influence the luck and position of the male homeowner, depending on what the space is used for. Having a kitchen and the stove in the Northwest sector indicates clashes between the Metal and Fire elements, which may in turn affect wealth and health.
In the case of The Commodore condo, some units (type: B2, C1, E2) have their kitchen in the Northwest sector. While this may raise concerns, one should not generalise the adverse effects of the “Fire Burning Heaven’s Gate” formation.
Further analysis, including Bazi compatibility of the homeowner(s), flying stars, etc. is required prior to concluding if having your kitchen in the Northwest sector of your home will indeed affect your household negatively. If in doubt, always consult a professional fengshui master for further analysis and appropriate fengshui measures.
Thrive in Period 9 with good home fengshui
As with most things in life, getting it right from the start will save you lots of effort. More than just the correct placement of furniture or avoiding certain colours, home fengshui looks into compatibility amongst the homeowners and your living spaces.
In terms of fengshui, The Commodore condo sits on a favourable fengshui land with all units facing the most auspicious directions of Period 9. However, the home layout for some units requires further analysis, and an on-site fengshui consultation would be helpful for homeowners to gain a complete understanding of how this new development fares in fengshui.
To ensure you and your household members can thrive consistently in the current Period 9, don’t hesitate to contact Way Fengshui Consultancy for your home fengshui needs. Regardless of whether you are looking for your ideal fengshui home or optimise your home fengshui in the current fengshui period, don’t hesitate to contact Way Fengshui Consultancy.
