Is this a good feng shui house?
Recently
there is an article in the Toronto star newspaper that caught my attention. In
the article, they are showing a rebuilt luxury home in Rosedale, the upscale
area of Toronto. It is a 3-storey mansion with total area over 5000 square
feet, and the asking price is $6,495,000.
Well, for
any non-feng shui believers, this appears to be a nice and luxurious house with
ample amenities like swimming pool and many upgrades features. However, as a consultant
who practice the traditional Chinese feng shui, I have seen some major
inauspicious features or “luan tao”
which will render it is not a good feng shui house and definitely I will not recommend to my
clients!
Looking at
the photo, we can see that there is a double garage built-in into the ground
floor, and the main floors are raised 3-storey above the garage. This basically
means that vehicles can drive through the underside of the main floors. In feng
shui, we refer this type of design or “luan
tao” as “ground empty house” [地空屋] and
“ground moving house” [地动屋].
This will cause
poor concentration in making important decisions and study for the children in
the house. The main culprit is this will caused unsteady and fluctuating fortune
and house luck.
In many cases, we will advise our clients not to use the rooms
above the garage as study or bedroom as feng shui remedies or even move to
other houses. Unfortunately, apparently this is not possible in this particular home
because as shown in the photo, the built-in garage is right under the main
entrance and there are important rooms like the living room etc. on top of the
garage.
Based on the
above, I predict whoever buy this house will not live long in this house and
very soon it will be up for sale again!
