Condominium - Auspicious Horseshoe design

[Cecil Lee]

Hi Everyone,
Recently, I had the opportunity to review a new condo development which has good Shapes and Forms based on:
1. The auspicious horseshoe layout design.
2. The site meets the above and has the Dragon-Tiger gate at the south-side.
This concept will be explained in due course.
Do look out for it.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

1. In a horseshoe layout, where the custer of apartment buildings are in a horseshoe semi-circle is considered auspicious.
2. In addition, the `opening' of the horsehoe layout has to be at the south-side.
While the north-side is stimulated by blocks of apartments (forming a solid backing).
At the mouth of the horseshoe layout is called the auspicious Dragon-Tiger Gate. This is where the Dragon embrance the Tiger. With water at the south side...
3. A illstration of the Dragon-Tiger Gate is shown (attached).
4. The Summer Place in China, was built on the above concept. And in China, two cities: Amoy and Canton are both at this Dragon-Tiger Gate.
More about this shortly.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

This link will bring you to the review of a new condominium in Singapore known as The Tropica:-

Please note that for this development known as " The Tropica " I understand that the TOP or Temporary Occupation Permit is expected to be around December 2000.
Thus for this development, it will certainly fall within 1984 to 2003 or Period 7.

Lake Life EC reminds me of "The Tropica" condo at Bedok Reservoir.
Previously The Tropica's blocks are also is in a horseshoe layout. The difference is that the blocks are purposely tilted to form "C" curves.
Such siteplans are Feng Shui friendly as this avoids the dreaded "poison arrow(s)" of neighbouring block's angled corner aimed towards each other and vice versa.
While Lake Life EC's blocks layout are in a row. And only two stacks are purposely tilted so that it does not result in sharp corners aimed towards it's neighbours.
Contrast this to many other horse-shoe shaped block designs that literally form the blocks in a 90 degree angle causing poison arrow(s).

While Lake Life EC's block-stack curves in a Feng Shui friendly manner;
Contrast this with The Caspian and many other of these layout. Please see attachment.
Although The Caspian is considered as wraped in a Horseshoe shape; it is more like a U shape. Where Block 60A is 90 degrees to the other "side" blocks.
Here, Block 60A stack #38 has a sharp corner aimed towards Block 58 stack #34.
Block 50A also has sharp corners. Here, Block 50A's stack #02 has a sharp corner aimed towards the frontage of Block 60A stack #38

Symphony Suites @ Yishun is certainly a neat "production" line block layouts.
Such sites reminds me of tightly packed "road grids". Very sterile and the purpose to pack as many blocks and stacks as possible in a "small space - site".
This site reminds me of the "no brainer" soon to TOP site : " Treasure Trove " in Punggol. Other than a slight cure of Blocks 50, 52 and 54; the rest of the other 12 blocks (Imagine: this development has a total of 15 "point-blocks" sandwiched together.
From a Shapes and Forms point of view; both Symphony suites and Treasure Trove fortunately has a favourable square/rectangular site. Perhaps, this is the only major consolation. And thus, overall, quite a "safe-site".

The plus about Symphony Suites is its no frills 11 "point-block" flats.

Although sterile and the 11 blocks are close to each other; BUT at least there is some gap between one block to another. Good for qi flow around each block.

No frills and minimal balconies unlike most of todays developments that had oversized balconies but smaller bedrooms.
