Dear Wilson,
1. For a stove at North (water element sector); it is still acceptable. But do avoid having a water position facing the stove. Here, water may inevitably extinguish the `fire' of the stove.
2. Alternatively, if the stove is at the South (fire element sector); it is acceptable to have the stove facing a water element.
3. It is interesting to note that during the recent (temporary occupation permit) T.O.P. for the Executive Condo at The Eden; many subsidiary proprietors / tenants of this new condo - " cursed and swear " at the developer (it's architect) for placing the wash basin opposite the stove position.
The website of this condo is at: http://www.theeden.net
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Cecil,
When there is no choice but to
place the metal stove in the
North (water sector), is there
any bad effect?
Anyway, is stove consider as
fire or metal element?
Best regards

Further to what I had mentioned; United Overseas Land Limited associated project was this condo - The Eden Executive Condominium.
Name: The Eden
Type: Executive Condominium
Location: TAMPINES ST 34
Total No of Units: 430
TOP Date: May 2003 (in batches)
Tenure: 99 years w.e.f 12/9/2000
In my opinion, this developer is lesser known because it develops fewer residential projects than the Hong Leong Group and it's subsidiary City Developments Limited (CDL) and Far East Organisation put together.
Some of United Overseas Land's recent projects include The Sunshine, Moulmein and Country Park.
The url is as follows:-

In my opinion, UOL's residential property development caters more to the higher end residential market and smaller developments. It is also a developer of commercial and developer of service apartments/retail/hotels...
It's actual website is: http://www.uol.com.sg
Company Logo and The Five Elements Concept
Do look carefully at it's logo. It is green in colour. The colour of `wood element'. And it's logo was derived from it's association with United Overseas Bank i.e. four vertical bars.
In the case of United Overseas Bank at http://www.uob.com.sg one will notice that the bars there are four vertical bars with one horizontal bar right at the middle. To represent the security of a bank.
Currently, it is owned by UOB holdings. But due to government regulations, the bank has to divest it within the dateline given.
While UOL's horizontal bar is `entrenched' to the ground - symbolic of a solid base - much like the foundations of a building. Here, green representing wood element is symbolic of a tree, with it's root firmly anchored to the ground (earth).
Under the destructive sequence of the Five elements: Wood destroys earth to create wealth.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
