Earth Buildings
3 Pins
Earth Buildings / Low, flat, square and rectangular shaped buildings represent the Earth element in Feng Shui. They hug the ground and are often eclipsed by the land and vegetation around them. These regular shapes are favored for their stability and bode well for raising a family or growing an earth-based business.
Wood Buildings
10 Pins
Wood Buildings / Tall columnar shaped buildings are linked to the Wood element in Feng Shui. Like a tree, they 'grow' toward the sky and make great office buildings for multinational businesses. The view from the top is a broad vista - great for expansion to faraway places but too isolated for most people to live.
Fire Buildings
4 Pins
Fire Buildings / Triangle shaped buildings with sharp peaks represent the Fire element in Feng Shui. Like an arrow or flame reaching toward the sky, they create an exciting atmosphere and 'heat up' a snowy mountaintop in winter. Too many angles can overstimulate and cause agitation though so choose your building's location carefully.
Metal Buildings
4 Pins
Metal Buildings / Dome shaped buildings represent the Metal element in Feng Shui. Their high arching ceilings are spiritually uplifting and acoustically sound as we have seen in the grand cathedrals, temples and mosques of the world. But round shapes make it difficult for chi energy to settle, so best not used for living spaces.
Water Buildings
5 Pins
Water Buildings / Water element buildings have fluid lines and irregular shapes. They appear to be in motion and are great for creative spaces such as museums where people can meander and flow - like Water.
