Rivervale Crest Condo

[myfs_157648]

Hi,
Understand that you mentioned that Rivervale Crest condo has very unfavourable feng shui, especially those units that face the swimming pool directly.
1) What are the other "ill effects" on the residents besides falling sick easily?
2) Interested to buy a unit facing the pool. Is there any way to avert the unfavourable feng shui ?
3) Is there any unit in Rivervale Crest that has favourable feng shui? If yes, please advise where are the "good" units located? What block or facing which direction?
Thank you very much.

[Cecil Lee]

In my opinion, generally higher floors (above 4th) .....

1. In general, the two major pools in Bellewaters EC is aligned in a East-West (West-East) direction.

2. For example: Pool A is between two "valleys" of rows: On one side starting from stack 14 and ends at stack 25.

2.1 While on the other side of the "valley" starting from stack 9 towards stack 4.

3. Just imagine the sun rises in the East and sets in the West. And since there are no blocks or stacks shielding the pool e.g. Pool A on either side;

3.1. This means that in a sunny day, the pool be it Pool A and/or B is constantly bathed by direct afternoon sun rays.

3.2. And depending on wind conditions or low wind conditions; quite a lot of moisture (dirty water evaporates from the pool) rises.

3.3. And if most units facing this pool particularly stacks 13, 17 and 18 don't open their windows facing pool side;

3.4 And if one frequently opens the windows on sunny days; such moistures may concentrate and flow into the unit especially the lower floor units.

3.5 If one has a young child, he/she may not be used to breathing in excessive evaporated water from the pool. And thus, some child or even adults may have respiratory issues.

4. Fortunately, it does help; here when the space between the two opposite blocks/stacks are quite a distance apart as compared to some other developments which is small and "compact" and further complicated by a "U" design with the "U" opening facing West.

4.1 Here, evaporated pool water may be even more concentrated when compared to the previous review of Rivervale Crest condo.

5. In conclusion, for those living on low floors and pool facing; do take the above into consideration i.e. if majority of your neighbours do not open their windows; and if you do; fingers crossed.

1. Please see attachment of Esparina.

2. The main pool in Esparina is aligned in a SE to NW and vice versa.

3.Block D partially blocks the morning sun rays towards the main pool.

4. While Block G also partially blocks the afternoon sun rays.

5. Thus even if this small development has a "valley" like structure enclosing the pool and yet open on both ends; it is fortunate to have sun rays blocked the majority of the time.

6. Perhaps, the only time most of the main pool has full sun rays is perhaps between 11.30am to 12.30pm.

6.1 Futhermore, there is a further opening as shown in the GREEN arrow and there is an additional opening between block D and Blocks H & I.

7. In addition, the NW and SEpool is very short and therecan be an unlikely built-up (concentration) of evaporated moisture from the main pool.

1. Let's look at Sea Esta Condo in Pasir Ris.

2. The main pool is aligned on an NE to SW alignment.

3. And there is a distinctive "U" shaped layout with Block 30 forming the trout or the bottom /base of the "U-shape layout of the site.

4. There can be a remote possibility of concentrations of evaporated "dirty" pool water especially on a sunny hot day perhaps around 1pm to 2.30pm : if conditions are "right" and some wind blowing from NE to SW.

4.1. There there could be a concentration of evaporated pool water flowing to around stacks 26 / 01 and especially 29.

4.2. Thus if one stays at a low floor say in stack 29; and if no one else buta unit opens their windows/balcony doors; then a higher concentration of evaporated pool water may just "enter" into that unit.

4.3.If fortunately, the winds are stronger; thenmajority of the evaporatedpool vapours could easily flow away between stacks01-30 and 26-29.

5. The reverse is true if the entire site is mirrored. Here, just imagine; it is in the afternoon thatconcentration of vapours could perhaps accumulate, here.

6.The purpose of such write-ups is that when we areconsidering purchasing a condo or executive condo unit facing a pool; do visualise (if any) whether the pool is oriented from East to West and whether one side or both sides are "blocked" such that evaporatedpool water can flow away safely.

What happens if we mirror the site plan of Sea Esta?

If so, and if to the left of the plot is an empty plot of land; and on sunny days and with the "right" wind or low wind conditions; the pool vapour concentrations could/may occur around 4 pm to 5 pm

NOTE: Site map was mirrored - for illustration purposes only. And not real.

1. Please see attachment.

2. As the U-trough of Belysa condo is shallow and there is a large open space at the apex or top of the illustration;

3. And the distance between the lap pool and the blocks/stacks is wide; this type of layout has lesser concern of concentrations of evaporated pool water - very rarely unless wind conditions is "about right".

4. Even if there is a high evaporation rate of pool water; in my opinion I don't see a high enough treat to the stacks/blocks.

In my opinion, Austville condo should have the least concern if any of the "sick building syndrome" or SBS for short.

The six blocks are divided into a row of 3 blocks by 3 blocks. And they are so spaced out.

In addition; both ends are not "covered" by other blocks nor form a U or Square shape to trap evaporated pool water.

Do feel extremely safe about this... i.e. no concern at all of the SBS

[Cecil Lee]

Sea Esta Condo will TOP in a few weeks time.

One of the key selling point is that some stacks not only have pool views but also dual views. The dual view layout could have views (balconies facing both the pool and the sea-view).

Out of the various layouts; two layout plans are of some concern:-

1. Sea Esta Condo Type PH3 (4-bedroom penthouse) with stacks in Block 18 and 20

and

2. Sea Esta Condo Type PH7 (4-bedroom penthouse) with Block 28 #13-23 and #13-27

The concern is shown in the attachments: where the toilet wc shares the same wall as the bed-head.

In my opinion, this development (unfortunately) is a candidate of the "sick building syndrome".

Why is this so?

1. This is because three main pools are enclosed by all four sites

2. The three pools are aligned in a East-West direction which allows for exposure of the pools to sunlight and evaporation.

The only plus point is that blocks 15 and 21 helps in a way to lessen the sunlight or sun rays towards the pool at certain hours.

Thus causing less direct contact of the sun rays to the pool thus hopefully reducing the evaporation of "dirty" pool chemical waters.

3. Depending on wind conditions and time of day; hopefully low floors such as stacks 2, 8 and 5 etc... do not get the brut of the "evaporated vapours".

4. It also depends on "shared responsibility". Thus if say one is living in stack 5, say #1 or #3 and if you are the only one to open the windows/ balcony doors then, may be prone to the "sick building syndrome".

What happens if Block 15 isreplaced by a flat area such as a pool?

 

It could be worse if we imagine that the area occupied by Block 15 is a flat piece of land and the blocks are aligned in a U shape with the opening exactly at West facing

If so, the three pools will get maximum exposure all day long and thus greater rate of evaporation of pool water.
