What is Feng Shui? Members of our staff recently attended a Feng Shui seminar as to how Feng Shui relates to homebuilding. Very interesting seminar. We are finding some of our customers and prospects are using Feng Shui in the selection of their new Masullo Brothers Builders home. As a Capital Region new homebuilder we are interested in meeting the challenges of building new homes that are designed to offer good Feng Shui. So what is Feng Shui? Really simple question that can be difficult to answer. It is an ancient art and science developed over 3,000 years ago by the Chinese. A complex body of knowledge that is related to the energy and “chi” of the land and the home placed on it. It’s about balancing this energy to assure the health and good fortune of the people living in the space. Feng means wind and Shui means water. In the Chinese culture wind and water are associated with good health, thus good feng shui came to mean good fortune, while bad feng shui means bad luck, or misfortune. Some of the basic aspects are the Yin and Yang theories. There are ways you can design and build a home to keep the energy or “chi” in the proper location to create good feng shui. Many of the current home plans offered by most builders do not take Feng Shui into account or consideration. We are learning and embracing this aspect of homebuilding with our customers who recognize and acknowledge this culture. Like I said, it’s very interesting.
