Some residents of the 47-storey SkyResidence @ Dawson estate have complained about theNot only will flower pots get blown from one end of the corridor to another, but shoe cabinets and any furniture placed outside doors will also get wet from the rain, they said.One 55-year-old resident living on the 41st floor of Blk 34 Margaret Drive told the Chinese daily how she'd noticed that it was especially windy after moving into her flat less than a year ago.
Despite being located four to five metres away from the opening, Tian claimed that tables and chairs she placed outside her door would inevitably topple over from the wind. Flower pots would also get blown to the other end of the corridor, and the floor would be wet whenever it rained, said Tian. One other neighbour suggested that the building's design could have exacerbated the effects of the wind.
Another resident, surnamed Jiang, shared that her metal gate had rusted as a result of the rain-bearing winds. She also noted that a "small prayer altar" along the corridor could topple over when there's strong winds, posing a fire hazard.
