Part 1: Resources - inZ Residence EC @ Choa Chu Kang / Tengah is another new project to be launched early this year.

1. This 99 year leasehold development consisting of 490 units will have nine blocks of up to 15 to 16 storeys high.

2. The most distinctive feature of this development are the generous Reinforced Concrete or RC ledges:-

3. The RC ledges not only gives this development a distinct external outline but follows the 1950's art-deco era of form and function.

4. The function is that it allows each individual unit to have as many windows or openings partially or even fully opened without unduly concerned with the elements such as wind and rain.

5. Allow each home to be airy. That is of course if one does not turn on the air-con 24/7 all the time! 

Part 2: iNz Residence EC @ Choa Chu Kang and Flying Star Feng Shui

1. iNz Residence EC has only two facing directions for the units: Period 8 N3 or SE facing directions:-

1. N3 facing = Stacks 3, 4, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 16, 21, 22, 19, 20, 21, 22, 27, 28. 31, 32, 33, 34.

1.1 These Stacks/Units has the double auspicious #8's wasted at the "back" of the unit. Thus not as favourable.

2. S3 facing = Stacks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 13, 14, 17, 18, 23, 24, 25, 26, 29, 30, 35 & 36.
S3.

2.1 Stacks are the best stacks for a East group person. As both frontage enjoys the double auspicious #8 wealth stars. And furthermore their facing directions has water. Bring great wealth.

3. Attached, please find a sample illustration of a Flying Star Period 8, S3 chart.

3.1. In the attachment: it is advantages for the [8] & [8] which symbolises : Prosperity, good wealth at the frontage of the home. Vs a N3 facing where this good stars are wasted at the "rear" which is usually the kitchen/yard area.

3.2  The only concern for a S3 facing chart is that so often, the kitchen may be located at NW sector. Which in Feng Shui is called: "Fire at Heaven's Gate". And this can affect the male breadwinner's career luck.

4. Thus for a South facing (S3) best to select a unit where the kitchen is either at North or North-east sector is preferred.

Part 3: Type D3 4 - Bedroom Premium with Stacks 15 and 22 with Poor shapes and forms when the stove is sharing the same wall as WC piping

1. Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui it is considered inauspicious when the stove shares the same wall as the WC as shown in this illustration:

2. Nowadays, one of the most over-looked is also the location of the centralised rubbish bin.

2.1 Thus before signing on the dotted line; insist on finding out where exactly is the central rubbish chute.

2.2 Avoid having the common bin next to the main entrance or facing the unit.

2.3 Many often only realise during key collection when they go up to their units:

 

Part 4 - Inz Residence EC and 3-Bedroom Superior and Shapes and Forms Feng Shui

1. Two Air-con ledges 

1.1 Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, it is ideally to avoid purchasing a home with so many air-con ledges.

1.2 A 3-Bedroom Superior layout plan where there is an air-con ledge at the frontage of the unit. The frontage is suppose to be the highest asset of a unit:-

1.3. No issue with an air-con ledge at the rear of the unit. This is was what is suppose to be. And not two air-con ledges: front and back.

1.4 Even with units that has 4 or 5 bedrooms; often their planners still manage to place the air-con compressors at a single ledge.

2. Multiple RC Ledges (sample illustration from another development in Katong):-

2.1 There is a double edged sword with regards to having RC ledges.

Below: iNZ Residence EC with a distinctive frontage full of multiple RC ledges:-

2.2 In my opinion, the pluses outweigh the negatives.

2.2.1 This is because with such ledges, more often will encourage a family to leave the windows open (perhaps not fully) but partial. Making the entire home airy all year round.

2.2.2 Of course, Reinforced concrete or simply called RC ledges is not counted as part of the floor area. And often added by the planners for exterior asthetic purposes.

2.3 Bird Magnet?:

The only dread is that if the RC ledges are not slanted at an angle like much of the RC ledges found in new and old HDB flats; it simply means birds can perch on them and often leave bird-shit droppings. And can or may be a source of bird-flu or other air-borne viruses.

Part 5 - Topic: "Bottom-up or Top-down" and 5-Bedroom maisonettes

1. Maisonettes were very popular in the mid-1970s. And pioneered by HDB. Where these flats still exists. HDB called these flats HDB maisonette flats.

1.1. Illustration shows a typical HDB maisonette flat. And this model is a "Bottom-up" model.

1.2. Bottom-up simply means: The main entrance is at level 1. And all the sleeping quarters are at 2nd storey (2nd level):-

2. The former enbloc-ed HUDC Amberville now Silversea also had HUDC maisonette flats.

3. In fact, all the past generation of HDB & HUDC maisonettes are virtually "BOTTOM-UP" models.

4. What do you mean by "Bottom-up?".

5. This means that when we open the main entrance door, this is LEVEL 1 or 1st storey. And all the bedrooms / study / family area are located 1 floor up or LEVEL 2.

5.1. Bottom-left: shows Level 2 with the main bedroom, bedroom 2 and 3 at this level:-

5.1. Here, it is good to super-impose the Level 1 with Level 2 layout plan:

5.1.1. And make sure that the stove is not directly above a bed and/or
5.1.2. A stove / dining table / an altar (if any) is not below a toilet etc...

6. "TOP-down" This 5-Bedroom maisonette is less common. Here, to enter the bedroom areas; one needs to walk-down. Thus "from TOP to bottom.. this is where I called this Top-down".

6.1. Where all the bedrooms are at lower level or Level 1. Where the living room / kitchen / dining are at Level 2.

6.2. Here, there is no such thing as sleeping with the stove directly above the bed.

6.3. Fortunately, the toilets at Level 1 is also not directly above any of the bedrooms. This is both a concern (if any) be it a Bottom-down or Top-up layout model.

Fortunately for iNz Residences... minor as compared to The Visionare.

Still some sharp corners ....

Congratulations! Just T.O.P.

Part 9 - Kitchen at NW and the inauspicious Fire @ Heaven's Gate

1. inZ Residence has many stacks that are South facing.

2. South facing stacks often either have the kitchen at North, NW or NE.

3. Only if the kitchen especially if the stove is at NW is particularly inauspicious for the male breadwinner. Plus also often it affects "Heaven" or overall luck for the family.

An indepth understanding of kitchen at NW = Fire at Heaven's Gate. Affect everyone? Find out more under Part 8 of this url:

 

Part 10 - Type CS3bL - Should the TV is mounted sharing the same wall as Bedroom 3, then
be careful of EMF radiation if any from the rear of the TV set.

1. Please note that the living room sofa and TV console has been mirrored in this layout plan:

2. If the TV console is as shown in the original sales brochure, please ignore this.

 

Part 11 - Potential Poison arrow(s) or Sha Qi = concern of neighbouring block's sharp corners or roof-lines/sharp corners from club house roof-lines etc...

1. How do I know if my unit has a poison arrow aimed towards my unit?

1.1. Best to be viewed from within the unit by standing inside the balcony and each windows looking (directly) outwards....

1.2. Often poison arrows can come from sharp corner of neighbouring block/stack as shown by the RED arrow(s).

1.3. Low floors may also be affected by the roof-lines and sharp corners of the club-house. Thus potentially best to try to check that units at stack 10 and #15 is not affected by the club-house roof-line or sharp corner of it.

Part 12:  Reference Resource Bank - inZ residence EC ebrochure

InZ-Residence-EC-Brochure.pdf

Just T.O.P. 

Good that the common area has clean looks..  nothing like that of Visionaire’s obstacle course.

P.S. Sometimes it is better for the developers to concentrate on what they do best than to offer additional packages like smart systems.

As often, these smart technologies become outdated as what some residents found out when they received....And such premium packages costing $7K etc... are not cheap...

Thank you for the very useful and practical advice.

Aside from the location of kitchen stove, how significant and impactful are the missing cavities in the overall unit floor plan against the 8 cardinal direction sectors?  

Has there been any project in your experience that have completely covered the 8 cardinal directions w/o any protrusion or cavities?

1. Please check out this recent posting:-

1.1. Especially the illustrations on why a more squarish and not too narrow retangular home is preferred.

2. In Singapore, not that many but there are still some which ALMOST cover the eight sectors. However for landed properties.. it is more common, here.

3. This is one example of a boutique condo / private apartment which as one can see close to a near rectangle:-

AS WE ENTER PERIOD 9 FLYING STAR FENG SHUI FROM 2024 TILL 2043

IS MY UNIT STILL LUCKY FROM 2024 ONWARDS?
OR CAN OR CANNOT BUY?

Part 1: How is the luck of the Interior Feng Shui of this unit?
Part 2: External Feng Shui luck? + Overall score/luck.
Part 3: How suitable is the unit - Frontage, Kitchen & Main Bedroom?

PART 1

Depends on the Internal Layout & Sectors - How Lucky?

 

 

iNZ Residence EC iNz Residences  at Choa Chu Kang Avenue 5 T.O.P. on 30 April 2019

Expected M.O.P. is in year 2024

Is my Period 8 house still lucky from 2024 till 2043?

1.iNZ Residence EC T.O.P. in 2019 and is considered as born in Period 8.

2. Thus, even if there is a transition or change of period from Period 8 to 9, the Flying Star Chart or Feng Shui birth chart will remain as a Period 8 chart.

2.1. The only difference is that the wealth luck has now changed from #8's to #9's.

3. This development only has two facing directions either: North 3 (N3) or South 3 (S3).

4. From 1st owner's key collection in 2019, there was the very auspicious double #8's at units facing South. 

5. Today, under Flying Star Feng Shui, in general N3 is preferred over S3. However, do take into consideration external Feng Shui of S3 facing units. As well as compatibility and interior layout arrangements. 

+++

Good, Better, Best!

N2 = Better luck under Period 9. From 2024 till 2043.

+++

 

The Rest!

 

S2 = Less lucky under Period 9. As formerly double #8's at it's frontage had now become Past or Gone Luck!

 

 

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

But also need to review/consider the individual Internal Layout Plan 
& this is just part of the many considerations in a home purchase.
However the above does not take into consideration things like:
Kitchen/Stove at Inauspicious Fire @ Heaven's Gate
or Poison arrow aimed towards the unit, proximity to common bin etc..

Sha Qi? Poison Arrow?

Today till 2043, wealth luck has changed due to Flying Star Feng Shui.

Thus in general N3 facing generally have better luck under Period 9. Not so for S3 facing.

a.  how suitable the unit is the main breadwinner &
b. interior unit layout plan.
