Projects

I advised on the Feng Shui of this traditional Kung Fu training hall set within a woodland clearing, working with the founders during the early stages of the project.

Together we analysed the surrounding landscape and carefully positioned the foundations within the natural contours of the land. A small fountain was introduced into the pond to strengthen the vitality of the site and create a calm focal point for the training environment.

The project also included a separate wellness centre. Both buildings were carefully oriented using Feng Shui compass analysis so that each aligned with a specific hexagram appropriate to its function — one associated with transformation and healing for the wellness space, and another representing strength and command for the martial arts hall.

The Kung Fu teacher often remarked that he felt particularly centred and in command within the weapons hall, while the sound healer working in the wellness centre noted that visitors frequently commented on the unusually calm and restorative atmosphere of the space. Spaces designed in harmony with Feng Shui principles often appear to have a subtly settling effect on the nervous system, something people tend to notice instinctively when entering such environments.

Together the buildings sit quietly within the woodland, reflecting a careful dialogue between land, architecture and human experience.
