‘Feng Shui’ when buying, designing a condo

Rockwell Primaries recently held an open house at 53 Benitez to share tips on choosing a home, and what to look out for to attract positive energy with the help of renowned Feng Shui consultant, Dr. Andy Tan.

“Purchasing your own place will always entail a lot of considerations – from the developer, price, location, even to the amenities offered,” said Malou Pineda, senior vice president, Rockwell Primaries. “We work with Dr. Tan to invite more positive energy into each of our developments.”

Keeping the “Chi” in. Going with the flow in this condo unit at 53 Benitez. 

In the year of the Fire Monkey (2016),  Tan believes that the units facing the skyline will bring prosperity and good fortune to homeowners. Units facing southeast and southwest are very auspicious for this year. Tan offered tips to attract positive energy into homes:

Get a southward-facing condo unit for better luck. The Feng Shui element Fire is represented by the south direction.        

Decorate with earth tones. Paint one of the walls brick red, change the sofa’s upholstery to brown, or add accent pieces in yellow to keep your home in harmony with the energy of the year (“Fiery Monkey”).

Brighten up your living space. Replace the warm lights in your home to brighter lights like LED and ZEN lights. 

Stow away those fountains, aquariums until the next few year. Water elements  are a no-no in the year of the Fire Monkey. Replace the cool elements of your home décor with something fiery.

Know how to maximize the Chi Flow. Chi is the energy or the “good vibrations” that flows through a room, bringing harmony and prosperity with it. Before buying a condo unit, make sure there are no doors directly facing verandas, or windows to make sure the chi stays within the home. As the chi freely enters your home, welcome it as you would welcome a guest.

Be mindful of your source of income. True to the Feng Shui elements of the fire and the monkey, this year is predicted to be an erratic and volatile year. But investing in property, particularly for a home, is a promising bet for 2016. 

First things first: do your research, and get a reputable developer. The Feng Shui tips can come later.
