Feng Shu i to harmonize the environment.
The customer took the time to find an ideal location with extensive views of water to

or dwelling unit is set to the lowest level and as such
has the protection of the black turtle back.
The initial design proposed by architects had some problems FENG SHUI .
The kitchen and the bathroom are located in the center of the unit is in the center of the housing . This is considered unfavorable due to the presence of the water element, and the center is the earth element (water destroys earth). The fire element of the kitchen in the center also creates "fire in the heart" (Xinhua ). The fire of anger and rage hidden heart, then if attacked is manifested in its occupants. addition, this center creates a small entry in the future by reducing the free flow of Qi , or energy around the unit.
So would the kitchen with Feng Shui
On the other hand, had to relocate
beds and removed from under the windows, with results undesirable position of insecurity. Note The draft
from vision feng shui were associated with poor health. However, the situation is resolved
moving the beds against a solid wall where the occupants controlled the doors and windows.
Initially the design was a column near the center of the table where they dined. Apart from the overhead that generated the placement of the column is accurately cut the table in dos.Inicialmente also had additionally exposed perpendicular beam supporting a column. The Sha Qi of exposed beams divided the area into four segments, effectively cutting the heart of the home into four pieces. This was a wrong approach in bad Feng Shui .

But we progress when they explain not were attacking their design, but simply were looking at the situation from a perspective different. When the architects understood our concerns, We provide alternatives that satisfy customer needs, from the aesthetic sense of the Architects and the requirements of Feng Shui at the same time.

conclusions drawn from case study analyzed by the architect Choy:
1. The bathroom (element of water) is located in the center of the unit (earth element). Since water weakens the soil (representing stability) is an arrangement undesirable.
2. The entrance is too narrow and small. A mouth of Qi `restricted 'sheng restrict the flow of qi `' (life giving energy) in the unit.
3. The beds are located below the windows. It is undesirable not only from a standpoint of security, since it also means that the dream of the residents will be 'attacked' by the wind (Sha Qi).
4. The beds are also located in an unfavorable direction for the owner (GUI wu 'or five ghosts). So it's best to put against the north wall (nian yan 'or longeivity) and against the south wall (fu wei' or life).
5. Sitting around a column and create a beam exposed on Sha Qi favorble dineros.Se necessary to reorient the table to lead the qi to the vision out of the water.
