office unit located @ road junction

[myfs_96612]

Dear Master Lee
We found an office unit which we feel is very ideal for our business (events mgt). Its on the ground floor complete with back door for delivery and loading of props and things.
Unfortunately it is located at the road junction. The address is 150 neil road. This unit has 2 entrances : 1 is at the road junction while the other is along cantonment road. We intend to make the cantonment road entrance as the main entrance and the other entrance will likely only be an emergeny exit.
The interior of the unit is kind of divided into 3 levels. First level squarish with 1 big meeting room. about 4 to 5 steps down leads to an open space and another smaller meeting room. Another 4 to 5 steps down leads to toilets and pantry area. The back door is located at the pantry area.
Your advise on the location and layout of this unit and what can we do to counter / improve on its location / layout would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much and hope to hear from you soon.

Dear Annie,
1. Reference location map:
http://www.streetdirectory.com.sg/map.jsp?x=28803.82&y=28968.79&level=7&postal=088879&star=1&xyfile=&oldX=28803.82&oldY=28968.79&heading=150+NEIL+ROAD%2C+BUKIT+PASOH+CONSERVATION+AREA+%28088879%29
2. Yes, in my opinion, the Cantonment entrance is better.
3. Nowadays, with air-conditioning, there is no issue with road noise.
4. Given that often, one cannot directly affect the external environment; from a Feng Shui perspective; the most Feng Shui can do here are:
4.1 Examine the main entrance facing - and harmonizing the signage to fit the `facing' direction of the unit. For example, the direction will be affected by the height, and if possible the type of colours used. Often, if possible, a three coloured signage is preferred against a two coloured signage. (Three colours signify progress).
4.2 For the signage, it is best to adopt "Yin and Yang" dimensions. For example if the length of the signage is 58 cm (even) then the width should be odd no. such as 39, 41 cm etc..
5. As mentioned, given the external is often uncontrolable, for favourable Feng Shui; the best location (internal layout) to be optimised for: reception, meeting room and especially the CEO, Manager's sitting positions.
6. Where possible, do check that the doors for each floor opens inwards. For example, if the upper floors have a door opening outwards, it is better to have a second eg. glass door that opens inwards.
This is considered the Key success factor in Feng Shui. Other than this, Feng Shui (stops here).
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
