Below the Road!!

What do you think about this building I live in. It's below the road!!

1. If it is strictly based on "superficial" Feng Shui; then of course; it is said that the "odds are against" such a home.

2. This area you mentioned has more to do with Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. And even under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui: there is such thing as "Commonsense or cow-sense" factors.

3. In fact, I know of several areas in Singapore where homes are below a slope. For example, some homes at Holland Road area also have a sloping back. For example, for such homes; you enter the home at a straight level. But there are staircase that brings one down to the family room, guest bedroom etc...

4. Why commonsense? If every other home or site next to your home is firmly "grounded" or solid foundation; then this is a plus point. What is most concerned under this commonsense or cowsense is that in some situations; such as a heavy downpour; erosion or landslide takes place.

5. A home at lower ground especially close to a canal in heavy rain fall countries like Singapore.. means that there is a higher likelyhood that if no proper soil treatment is done.. higher chance of termite infestation.

6. Your photo is not clear. It may even be from what I see that your facing direction is the "other side" of the home. Where the photo taken side may even be considered the back of your home. If so, technically, your "back-side" of the house may even be higher than the frontage. Thus... fulfill one of the Shapes and Forms good condition of having a higher ground behind the home.

7. As from your picture, it looks like the other side seems to face trees or forest area...

8. One cannot direclty discount such a home completely. Other factors include how rain drains out of your property; other factors include: Flying Star Feng Shui etc..

9. Like I mentioned, in Singapore, if we do zero base or start from scratch build a new home; we may consider the living room, activity area on the other side of the photo instead of where you enter the home. If so, the home's sitting with a "mountain support".

1. Further to what I had mentioned; please see attachment.

1.1. Illustration 1: Here, in a zero base or start from scratch building a home; one could have the facing direction of the home as shown in the attachment. While the main door serves merely as an entry into the home.

1.2. In several parts of Singapore: Mount Sinai Rd area, some homes have this type of unique profile. See Illustration 2.

Yes, that is considered the front of the Condo. On the other side are woods, and then it slopes downward and when it rains heavy there forms a little mini river in the back. Which is the front? If you want me to put pictures up tell me.

Many condos enter from the main entrance. But this main entrance may open usually to the "kitchen" area first. While on the opposite end could be the living room.

Often, the living room area ie. standing inside the living room looking out of the windows; could be the facing direction of a home for the purpose of applying say the Flying Star Feng Shui.
