Feng Shui

We have overlaid , drawing upon drawing, the geometries , the geomancy and the energetics. These are all coordinating continuity and coherence. It is now time to look at the interior environment. Much of this initial work is a broad overview at this stage to then narrow and focus as the design of the space begins to take shape.


What is Feng Shui ?

Literally translated it means wind and water. It is a Chinese practice that has been established for at least 3000 years. It is a system of arranging our surroundings so that we can live in harmony with them. Where to build a wall, which direction things should face, how to decorate the space, how to arrange the furniture of the space, and how each part of the space is used; which is also referred to in western culture as, space planning , in the realms of Interior Design.

Lana Whittington, is Dakini's expert in Interior Design, the subtle energy involved in the positing of the built form within the space, the layout and use of the rooms, the colour and decoration.

Some of the initial space planning sketches rose out of the our Fung Shui studies that have been completed so far.

There are so many layers to this energetic awareness that need to be addressed and readdressed as the process of designing the space evolves. Take a look at the initial findings and the Intuitive sketches below .
