Sandylim Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Master Cecil, Is it true that main entrance cement flooring must be higher than gate door? Is for man wealth? What happen if i do sloop down from outside to inside? What happen if I do center higher then lower to inside of the house? What happen if I don't remove the hole lock at below?

Staff Cecil Lee Posted February 3, 2023 Staff Share Posted February 3, 2023 Case Study 1: Very true that having a raised flooring parallel to the front door was a common thing in the past 1. If one visits the Forbidden City, whenever one needs to enter one of the many buildings, there is a raised flooring that one must raise one's legs to enter into that premise. 2. Many use this as "an excuse" that: 2.1. It is auspicious to "raise" legs/feet to enter a place. 2.2. Actually, this is often a good idea in case of minor flooding where this raised "flooring plank" becomes some sort of a barrier for low level flooding. 3. In HDB homes, under illustration 1: if there is no raised flooring, one can easily see into the unit. Much so, if the occupants don't want others to know that they are inside the house. 3.1. Or much like those Police SWAT or special forces placing a "snake-eye" camera and insert into this gap to view into the house! Likewise can be bad people doing so! 4, Once this raised flooring is placed as shown under illustration 2: no one can spy into this home. 4.1. Other benefits include prevent roaches or lizards from entering this home! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted February 3, 2023 Staff Share Posted February 3, 2023 Case Study 2: I also can't see into the unit using this grille gate Nowadays, luckily the new gate design has this "privacy" panel below the entire grille gate. Thus once one close / lock this grille gate same thing under above illustration 2: no one can see or peer into the bottom gap of the front wooden door. Modern HDB flats have privacy panels at the bottom area of the door to prevent people to peep into the unit Once this grille gate is closed, no one can peep into the gap below the front wooden door. And as mentioned, this panel (in red)_ acts also to symbolically prevent "loss of wealth" from the front door - if want to add this argument. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted February 3, 2023 Staff Share Posted February 3, 2023 Case Study 3: There are easily at least more than 250,000 HDB flats with this sloping design since the early 2010's. How to claim that if one does not add such a proposed slope, house is unlucky? Frankly, such raised flooring in such a home may inadvertently become a "nuisance". And touch-wood.. hope not someone trip over this area of the home! The bottom grille gate panels also symbolically act to stop wealth flow. So what is the problem, here? One has to move with modern times. Not necessarily be stuck in the past. LOL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
