Semi-D link house

[myfs_139652]

I just bought a semi-d cluster house and people told me the house is NO GOOD there is no end as it link to other semi-d together. Is that true ? How do I overcome this and shall I look for other double storey house which have end. As they told me the 'q' must have in and out and without end and the 'q' can not go out, can i just extend the side land for the kitchen with the windows or door for the 'q' to go out? This will overcome the issue????

Further to what I had mentioned; the Meyer Place conservation bungalow is a TRUE quad-duplex bungalow that houses 4 distinct homes: two on the ground level and two on the 2nd floor = 4 x homes.

Thanks for trying to post..But frankly,
your posting like half-measure or in my
opinon like half-hearted information..
might as well don't post any the
information at all.From your Key
guideline on the far right it seems to
show that your cluster him is marking
"B". But your arrow points to marking
"A". When I try to match the key
guideline to the arrow sign; it stops
short of marking "A".Furthermore,
assuming that if your home is marking B;
nearly half the information is missing!
What can I say?Frankly, it is really
time consuming trying to figure-it-out.
SIGHP.S. In my opinion, the term cluster
housing refers more to townhouses like
Summer Gardens @ Jalan Chempaka Kuning;
where thefront row of townhouses
are not joined to the back. This is
cluster housing. In my opinion, based
onwhat you had mentioned all four
units are joined together; this should
be called: Duplex homes if two are
joined together and Quad-Duplex where
all four share the same common wall. One
example is the Bungalow atThe
Meyer Place where the bungalow was
converted into four houses in a
Quad-duplex arrangement. On

1. In my opinion, the best way to look at the qualities of the internal "air-flow or qi" of various landed properties is to visualise how qi may flow in and out of a home.
2.A terrace house only have two sides or "openings" e.g. the frontage side and the back of the home. The exception is a corner type of terrace house which have three sides.
3.Although a terrace house has only two "openings" i.e. front and back; but the advantage of such a layout is that depending on high and low pressure zones throught the day; much like a drinking straw; the fluid can flow from frontage out to the back or vice-versa. Thus, more likely (other than the layout plan) there is LESS likely of stagnant qi collected in this house.
4. In the quad-joined semi-detached home; although it also has two sides or OPENINGS... but the difference or disadvantage is thateach of the openings are unlike those of the terrace where it id directlyon opposite sides.
5. Here, for this quad-joined semi-detached home;(depending on theinterior layout); if you see the attachment; there is a higher chance that there will always be pockets of STAGNANT Qi.
6. As qi or air won't or can't flow thru to the other side; since it is blocked by the common wall on all four sides of the home. Refer to QI FLOW ILLUSTRATION3.GIF
7.Of course, if one turns onthe aircon daily or blow air via fan to the area marked "A" under QIFLOW ILLUSTRATION3.gif then this is no issue. But come-on; will do do this everyhour?
8. Thusin addition the interior layout has to be further investigated. For example usually a toilet should best share an external wall. And ithas to compete with "living" space. It aint sound to have a toiletwithoutsay any ventliation at all. Unless via air-well sort of thing.
9. Therefore, the quad-joined semi-detach home's stagnant qi would very much depend on the architecture and how much help it can give or rathereven make it worse off!
10. Yeap, good luck in such a home! One needs lots of it... Just imagine... "stagnant" qi is the best way to understand this type of layout erh.. FLOW of air.. be it good or not so good.
11. I would still prefer the traditional terrace house "openings" better!

Further to what I had mentioned:
1. That the terrace house with openings on directly opposite sides: often would not result in as much "stagnant qi" and would most unlikely migrate to "suffocating" and even worse "dead qi".
2. Just imagine; many of us, have opened a store-room or enter a enclosed "bomb-shelter". When we step into it; our lungs try to catch as much of the limited oxygen, there.
3. In a quad-joined semi-detached home; look at this additional simple illustration: air flow or wind; would OFTEN try to take the shortest route or short-cut from an opening to another opening. And in this illustration; unfortunately the two openings are like an "L" shaped profile.
4. Thus, it makes this type of home; more likely to "accumulate" STAGNANT qi. And if stagnant qi is not "cured"; it can lead to the instance of poor qi flow: or the type of suffocating qi or dead qi senario.
5. Even in an apartment; there are some areas where stagnant qi may collect. See attached illustration.

attached another same type of house for your comment, what is the your advice?
is the house good to stay? compare the previous one which is better?

[Cecil Lee]

These are some considerations:
1. Earlier, I have explained under scientific Feng Shui; the qi flow in common types of homes e.g. terrace and in particular this type of layout plan. That seems to look similar to what you had posted earlier: Openings at the front and opening(s) at the side. Thus, you may have to stare at the two layout and look what is similar or dis-similar. But the gist under this qi thing is "commonsense".
2. Feng Shui is not as simplistic as posting a layout plan.
3. Location, location, location.
3.1. There is such a thing as how rain falls to a property and how it drains OUT of the home.
3.2. The exterior landscape, the site, the building etc..
3.3. Flying Star Compass School Feng Shui. Your layout does not even take into consideration the compass direction. For Flying Star and Eight House concept(s).
4. The saying goes: what you have posted is just the "tip of the ice-berg". An ice-berg is often 10 percent above water and what about the 90 percent?
5. Frankly, if you are so concerned or so keen in a property, best to go get any geomancer to do an on-site audit. An on-the-spot assessment of various factors.
5.1. This can't be accurately answered in this forum. Except to say "usecommonsense" with regards to qi flow. And check for sha qi e.g. in the form of poison arrow such as a lamp post(that often cannot be relocated) that slices into the main door or windows.
5.2.There is a limitation to such postings. How does one see thru problems just by looking atnot even full layout plans. Else, cavet emptor...
