Fengshui Review: TOP Midtown Modern in Bugis (D7)

Midtown Modern features a 99-year leasehold condominium within a mixed-used development with resort style facilities, connected to Bugis MRT interchange station in Singapore’s District 7 (D7). Despite its premium price, more than 60% of units were sold on its launch weekend.

There is no doubt about the location and convenience of Midtown Modern but is it worth the price? Let’s take an in-depth home fengshui review on this luxury residential development to assess its fengshui qualities beyond its ideal location. Read on!

 
Midtown Modern: Landform Fengshui  
 

Located at Tan Quee Lan Street in the Bugis/Rochor vicinity, the recently TOP-ed Midtown Modern sits on the Southern Dragon with the fengshui formation of  “Land of Golden Ingot”.

In fengshui, gold ingots symbolise wealth, abundance and success. If an ingot-shaped building appears in a “Land of Golden Ingot” formation, that place will flourish. Residents in the area would be rest assured to know that the channelling of the Rochor River to an underground sewer prevents the unnecessary outflow of wealth luck.

This fengshui land formation is also conducive to places of worship and religion-related businesses. Thus, it is unsurprising to see the different religious sites located in the Rochor and Bugis precinct. Additionally, many industries such as medical, electronic, watches and beauty parlours tend to flourish in this area.

Recommended architectural designs include rectangular-shaped buildings, or structures that resemble a temple, Bagua or ingot. Square buildings, as well as green and red colours should be avoided. The most ideal colours are gold, yellow, and white. Homeowners of Midtown Modern may want to consider these colours when decorating your home.

 
External fengshui considerations
 

As one’s external environment accounts for more than interior considerations, it is important to consider features of the surrounding space when selecting a new home.

The prime location of Midtown Modern above the Bugis MRT interchange sees it nestled in an area that is renowned for iconic buildings that are associated with fengshui, such as Parkview Square,  DUO Residences and the Gateway. Did this new mixed-use development take fengshui into consideration as well?

Focusing on sustainable development, water and energy conservation, immersive urban greenery and landscaping, Midtown Modern’s garden homes promise a green sanctuary for its residents. The lush greenery and landscaping can help in reducing the city’s noises and urban heat but one should keep in mind that home fengshui is about maintaining the harmony between man and nature, so as to bring about positive influences in one’s life.

Maintenance will be the key in this environment because while plants may be a symbol of vitality and growth, it can introduce unwanted pests into our homes if they are too close to entrances. Besides that, trees can also deflect incoming auspicious energies. Therefore, residents of Midtown Modern should pay attention if your unit is close to trees and plants.

Standing at 30-storey high,  some units in this 99-year development offer unblocked city views. In fengshui, unblocked views are favoured as it represents the Red Phoenix, symbolising aspirations and a bright future. Such smooth flow of energy in the absence of points of conflict (sha) is essential.

Nevertheless, do note that there may be challenges to accumulating auspicious energies for higher floor units, especially those with a main door that faces the balcony directly. In such situations, household members may find that money comes and goes easily if measures are not made to better contain the positive energies. If in doubt, don’t hesitate to seek advice from a professionalfengshuipractitioner.

As for the outer stacks at North Tower facing North Bridge Road, you may wonder about its proximity to Raffles Hospital. Well, hospitals are Yin in nature and the knowledge of staying in close proximity to a hospital may cause unease to some people, possibly leading them to experience physical and mental fatigue.

From a practical viewpoint, it is a fact that hospitals operate around the clock. Stacks that face or overlook the hospital may encounter Sound Sha [声煞] and Light Sha [光煞]. Luckily, there is some distance between the hospital and Midtown Modern, hence there should not be a problem. Should homeowners or potential resale buyers have concerns, don’t hesitate to consult a professional fengshui practitioner.

Located in the central region of Singapore where there always seems to be new developments, residents should take note of your environment. Note that surrounding sites undergoing construction could pose conflict points, as well as pollution and negative energies (Sha Qi) during the development period.

 
Internal fengshui considerations
 

Homeowners should bear in mind the main orientation of your house, as it will directly influence the overall luck of your household member(s). The house orientation refers to the facing of your house, which can be measured from the main entrance where qi flows in.

Tip: Did you know there’s a Luopan (fengshui compass) in the Way Almanac App? You can download our app for free to measure your home orientation.
