Published: 4 Oct 2024
Expected to TOP in 2025, Baywind Residences is a freehold boutique residential development in the much sought after District 15 (D15) of Singapore. This new private housing project has been lauded for its peaceful neighbourhood with excellent accessibility.
Wondering if Baywind Residences could be an ideal fengshui home for you and your family or a worthy investment? Let’s take an in-depth residential fengshui review to find out!
Baywind Residences: Landform Fengshui
Located at Lor N Telok Kurau, Baywind Residences resides in the highly sought after Marine Parade/East Coast precinct. This new development sits on the Eastern Dragon, aka the Wood Dragon, with the fengshui land formation of “Li Bai Ploughing the Field”.
As the Wood Dragon requires a culture-rich setting, Li Bai’s presence here is most apt. Li Bai was a gifted poet and also a great drinker, hence this area is home to many literati and refined individuals who know how to enjoy life. The layout here is akin to plots of farmlands, which happens to coincide with its fengshui formation.
Though the fengshui here is good, one should not take it for granted. Or wealth shall not pass three generations, as depicted in the famous Chinese saying.
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 a sought-after area filled with popular lifestyle attractions including East Coast Park, Baywind Residences is nestled amongst low-rise private residences, promising tranquil living without compromising on accessibility.
With a number of schools located within about 1 km of this development such as Saint Patrick’s School, CHIJ Katong Convent (Primary and Secondary), Tao Nan School, this soon-to-TOP development is very suitable for school age families.
Another point to note is the density in the Telok Kurau estate. Residents of Baywind Residences should keep a lookout for conflicting forces from neighbouring blocks, which may pose threats of 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.
Some people may also have concerns about staying near places of worship. At the time of writing, Baywind Residences sits directly across the Christ Methodist Church.
From a fengshui perspective, places of worship are where devotees gather and pray, hence it will congregate a strong force of energy that may cause a qi imbalance to its surroundings. It is believed that facing the cross of a church directly is unfavourable for long-term dwellers. However, concluding the qi condition based on the place of worship alone is not an inclusive move.
To evaluate the auspiciousness of an area, you need to consider factors like the house facing, distance from the church/temple, luck cycle of the residents etc. Moreover, with so many people staying together within the blocks, the yang energy gathered is strong enough to ward off the yin energy from the place of worship. If in doubt, you may want to consult a fengshui master.
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.

Baywind Residences comprises 24 residential units of 3 to 4 bedroom apartments across five stories.
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.
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.
Of the six stacks at the single block Bay Residences, only two stacks face North/South or Northwest/Southeast, which is the most/2nd most auspicious direction in the current fengshui period. The remaining units face the unfavourable direction in Period 9, hence homeowners should consider carefully or seek advice from a professional fengshui consultant.
Also, homeowners should take note that some units are facing each other directly. E.g. Stack 01 and 04. 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.
In such a scenario, it is 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.
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 Bay Residences.
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.
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, Bay Residences sits on favourable fengshui land but the majority of units face the least auspicious direction in the Period 9. Further analysis is required on-site for a complete understanding of how this new development fares in fengshui.
