Chanced upon this floor plan. A modern education centre designed by a very talented architect. As a commercial entity or even a casino, this setup is interesting. 

As a home, it is probably not a good thing to have such a setup. In Feng Shui, humans utilized typical shapes, colors, numbers and sounds etc to design cures for problematic landscape. e.g. 8 = Huat. As chinese saying goes, 有形就有灵. In this floor plan, a big plant in the middle of the house can be written as 困 = trap. As plants or greenery is a common object to improve energy of Wood element. For a casino or shopping centre, it is probably a good thing to "trap" the human traffic for as long as possible to achieve maximize business. For a home however, the occupants will feel "trap" in their own house, like a poison cell.



In addition, trees provided shade right? Not only it provides shade for humans during the day, it can provide shade for spirits for both day and night! Therefore in the country side where greeneries are aplenty, we sometimes see trees with deep roots originally situated near the house to extend its roots into the house. Such a phenomena is commonly termed as  树大招阴. 

The forbidden forest, the mysterious forest. Experienced trekkers, villagers, medicine man and actually logic, had foretold the dangers of thick jungles after sunset. 

Do they know what they fear or do they fear what they know?
