It may not seem like it, but the practices and principles of Feng Shui play a crucial role in architectural designs, both in residential and commercial architecture. This phrase translates to wind-water and is a Chinese practice that consists of positioning buildings and objects in ways that help us in harmonising with spiritual forces. There are aspects of Feng Shui that are commonly found in architecture, as it has had quite the influence on our profession.

To begin with, the quintessential house proportion is square followed by rectangular. These kinds of geometrics make for an incredibly functional relationship between the application of practical construction materials, energy efficient plans, and interior spaces. Commercial architecture can be an array of different geometric shapes but square and rectangular shapes remain very popular.

The front entrance should also be well maintained, unencumbered and clean. The entryway must be devoid of any distractions. The reason why is that this area acts as the face of the property, which is passed by not only yourself, but employees and visitors too. As such, it needs to be somewhere that brings out positive energies that make everyone feel welcome.

Ultimately, the quality of the front door determines the calibre of those energies that enter the property. Ideally, they should be comprised of something solid to give them substance. Typically inwards opening doors are favoured because they are more inviting.

At Coffey Architects we have created a plethora of wonderful and special commercial architectural structures as well as residential properties. Whenever a client comes to us with their specifications, we go through each detail with them and offer our own professional opinions on certain aspects to them.
