The '3-point' turn? or the Three-point view? Cecil Lee Cecil Lee support@geomancy.net
1. Many of us who have taken a driving test would have practised for the `three-point' turn.
2. Hey! This is on Property Review! Not a lesson on driving!
3. Perhaps, you are correct!
4. But have you ever wondered? Whenever, we do a three-point turn, each time our car turns, we have a different view?
5. This is what, we should also `try' to look for in a home!How many points of view does your house have?
6. As mentioned in the earlier message:-
7. "Four-point" views are often reserved for a landed property stand-alone home such as a bungalow.
8. How about "Three-point" views?
Often, for landed properties; these are the semi-detached homes or duplexes.
Sometimes, some Terrace houses have a `three-point' view. For example, one client recently purchased a lovely Terrace house with "Three-point" views in the "Opera Estate" area in Singapore.
Homes like the Singapore HDB 5 room `point' block flats built in the mid 1970's also have three-point views.
9. Where can we find "Two-point" views?
Many Terrace houses often are side-by-side and sandwiched between each other (other than the corner unit). Often, these have air flow at the front and the back. Thus, "two-points" of qi flow.
10. Are there `one-point views'?
Well, often, these are the bedrooms of maids in a landed property.
11. Are there `zero-point views'?
Yes, why not?
But, this is OFTEN BAD NEWS! Why?
Most likely, one most probably end up in a detention cell or a jail room. And if one commits something bad and is punished, one may end up in such a room! A room that is known as an isolation cell. Many of such cells do not have any windows and once the door is closed behind, this solitary room often becomes dark.
Little, wonder why Jails or prisons have such "bad qi".
So remember, the next house you buy should have as many "points" as possible!
Next time, you may want to boast to your friend: I have 4 points! How abut you!
Friend: "Say it again? I don't get you!"
If so, please recommend your friend to visit us (www.geomancy.net) for more information. Cheers!
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

My comments:
1. For high rise living, often, if we are not too sure what shape the blocks should take; the safest shapes are in Singapore, we call this the `point-block' apartments.
2. In Singapore, often, these type of point-blocks were built sometime in the mid-1970's and many are still standing today.
3. Even the former Housing & Urban Development Corporation flats such as: Laguna Park, Laguna View at 5000 Marine Parade Road and Braddell View follow this `point-block' concept. (These blocks were built in the mid-1970's.)
4. If you go thru the description under the Park Avenue, Kowloon, Hong Kong:
"Through the full height glass window of the apartments, residents of Park Avenue can enjoy the unique "three-fold" view composed of the gorgeously landscaped pool view, special theme park view and the breathtaking view of Victoria Harbour."
5. Often, one of the key success factors of many point blocks is this same idea of "three-fold" view.
6. What this means is that like many of the 5 room `point-block' flats, each unit has `THREE VIEWS'. For example the balcony area has ONE view, the Master bedroom has a SECOND view and often, the dinning room has a THRID view.
7. In other words, wind or qi can enter from three diferent directions into the home. Depending on high or low pressure at different times of the day, wind or qi can circulate into the home from these different directions.
8. Another added advantage of the `point-block' (in Singapore we call it as such) and in Hong Kong, it can be called as "three-fold" view. Both are thus identical ideas, but worded differently.
9. A point block thus allows clear space at all directions and at the same time, qi flow around it is in my opinion, much better than `joined' blocks.
10. Often, if one notice carefully, joined blocks; becaused they are often sandwiched together has only "TWO-VIEWs"; sometimes, because in a condo environment, we often close e.g. the main door (leading to the lift area); we are only left with "ONE-VIEW".
11. Here, isn't "THREE-VIEWS" better than "ONE OR TWO VIEWS"?
12. Is there such thing as "FOUR-VIEWS"?
13. Why not? Four-views would imply that we most probably own a bungalow or single/standalone house. Where, all four sides allow us not so much of "FOUR-GOOD-VIEWS" but rather, four good directions where air can circulate into our home.
14. I truly hope that the concept of "ONE-TWO-THREE-FOUR VIEWS", have again gave you another perspective of house-hunting.
15. Again, the morale of this story is: " THE MORE SIDES WITH VIEW OUR HOME HAS; THIS CAN BE QUITE GOOD - ACTUALLY ".
16. It is truly a pity, all those NEW HDB Punggol apartments. I truly pity many who had purchased apartments looking into other neighbour's apartment and vice-versa. And many of these units are `entrapped' with poor air/qi circulation because of the enclosed nature of these pockets of units.
I must say, when the owners of such apartments are able to sell after the mandatory 5 year limit of stay is up; many of these owners will most certainly become `entrapped' or literally stuck with their homes. Else, they have to sell them for a song!
Usually, these apartments are purchased by young couples. What a way to start their life! Instead of getting an asset boosting; they will often find themselves `trapped' with such a poor investment.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
