This HDB BTO development in northeastern Singapore, launched in the November 2021 exercise, recently received its Temporary Occupation Permit. Congratulations to homeowners who have collected your keys!

As you settle in, consider how quality fengshui can harmonise your living space to support health, relationships and prosperity. Read on for our in-depth fengshui review on Tanjong Tree Residences @ Hougang.

Landform fengshui: Tanjong Tree Residences @ Hougang in District 19 (D19)

In Singapore, the Five Dragon Landform Fengshui harnesses “hidden dragons”, which are man-made structures that channel energy flow. From the lens of fengshui, roads act as “dragon veins”, skyscrapers as “mountain dragons” offering stability and waterways serve as wealth-attracting “water dragons”.

The five auspicious dragons, namely Eastern, Western, Southern, Northern and Central, along with the Singapore and Kallang Rivers, converge to drive the city’s growth and prosperity, with each dragon influencing a region’s success.

Bounded by Hougang Street 13, Tanjong Tree Residences @ Hougang sits near the mid-section of the Eastern Dragon (aka Wood Dragon). ​​This indicates stable qi flow, which is ideal for long-term residence or business.

In the Hougang precinct, the fengshui formation of the “Paired Lotus Land” 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. To make it big, female residents are advised to tap into their knowledge wisely to ensure holistic development.

With its excellent access to a variety of educational institutions spanning preschools, primary schools, secondary schools, and junior colleges within the immediate vicinity,  Tanjong Tree Residences @ Hougang is ideal for young families. Aligning to the landform fengshui, this would be beneficial to young families, especially those with daughters) in terms of study and career prospects.

Located in a peaceful neighbourhood next to a landed estate, Tanjong Tree Residences @ Hougang (2021 BTO launch) offers tranquil living without compromising on daily conveniences. Within the estate, there is a preschool, an eating house, a supermarket and a shop.

There are also several primary schools in the vicinity, such as Paya Lebar Methodist Girls’ Primary/Secondary School, Xinghua Primary School, and Yuying Secondary School, making it suitable for families with school-age children.

Taking fengshui into consideration, some stacks at Block 181A and 181B overlook the neighbourhood park, which means unblocked views for higher floor units. Unobstructed views are favoured as they represent the Red Phoenix, symbolising aspiration and a bright future. This open flow of energy, free from Sha Qi (conflicting energy), is considered essential for a harmonious living environment.

On the other hand, residents can expect some noise, as the park includes a playground and a multi-purpose court. Beyond the park lies Hong Lai Sze, a Chinese temple. There’s an old fengshui saying about the placement of temples around a home, but it comes from a time when people relied heavily on symbolism to interpret their surroundings.

Temples naturally draw many devotees, which means the area can carry strong, active energy. For some, this may feel overwhelming if they prefer a quieter flow of qi. Traditional beliefs also suggest that places of worship may attract unseen energies, which is why some homeowners feel cautious about living too close.

That said, modern fengshui tends to focus more on how the environment affects your comfort, rest and daily routines. It is also inaccurate to conclude the qi condition based on the place of worship alone. To evaluate the auspiciousness of an area, factors such as the house facing, distance from the temple, luck cycle of the residents, etc., must be considered. An on-site fengshui assessment for each unit is needed to determine the effects of the temple on the dwelling.

Sitting alongside Hougang Street 13 across the road from Tanjong Tree Residences @ Hougang is Lentor Health Nursing Home (Hougang) and Lentor Health Senior Care Centre, slated to open in 2027.

Nursing homes, like hospitals, are “yin” in nature, and the knowledge of staying near such establishments may cause unease to some people, possibly leading to physical and mental fatigue in the long term.

From a practical perspective, nursing homes operate around the clock, implying Sound Sha [声煞] and Light Sha [光煞]. Thankfully, residents need not worry about emergency sirens at all hours since it is not a general hospital.

Last but not least, do take note of future developments surrounding your home. 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. Seek advice from a professional fengshui practitioner if you have doubts.

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.

Tip: Did you know a physical Luopan (fengshui compass) is much more sensitive to the Qi, energy of the house, than a digital compass? Use our Free Way Almanac App to estimate the direction of your house! Also, consider a professional fengshui Master to optimise your home direction.

Did you know?

Period 9 corresponds with the South, representing a strong Fire element. As such, one should be mindful of locating important spaces within one’s 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.

In fengshui, the stove represents “the female owner of the house”. As such, the state of the stove in your house represents the condition of your mother or wife. If your stove happens to face South, you are highly recommended to consult a professional  fengshui  master for appropriate fengshui measures.
