Feng Shui by Plan

Monday, February 8th, 2010

For more than 3,000 years, humans have relied on the art and science of Feng Shui to balance the energies—or Chi—in our living spaces. And now, at Westcott Homes’, we too have employed the principles of Feng Shui to design the homes and neighborhood of Langley Meadows in Renton and Mountain Ridge in Monroe.

Look at some of the top Feng Shui properties of these new homes, and learn more about Feng Shui here.

The Beacon

  • Good definition of the door (The Mouth of Chi) with the pillars on either side.
  • The family room, dining room and kitchen have a good connection to each other
  • The interior stairs are well placed.
  • The foyer is open and welcoming and allows Chi to flow easily and harmoniously
  • Bedrooms #2 & #3 provide great spots for proper bed placement.

The Leschi

  • The Master Bedroom allows for good bed placement.
  • The hallways on the 2nd floor are well laid out and serve to guide Chi optimally to all bedrooms and areas.
  • The rest of the bedrooms – bedrooms #2, #3 and #4 all provide for good bed placement which translates to health and wealth.

The Montlake

  • The excellent kitchen translates into strong finances and good relations between male and female energy (yin/yang) .
  • The stairs are in good position. Energy is not flowing out the door but stays contained in the home.
  • The owner’s suite is well laid out. The bed can be placed with a strong wall of support behind it instead of windows behind.

The Ravenna

  • This home has a good placement for the Owner’s Suite in relation to the rest of the home because it is in the Partnership and Marriage area of the home and is conducive to creating and enhancing strong partnerships and marriages.
  • The bed can be placed using correct Feng Shui (wall behind, window to the side).

Feng Shui at Langley Meadows

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

For more than 3,000 years, humans have relied on the art and science of Feng Shui to balance the energies—or Chi—in our living spaces. And now, at Westcott Homes’ Langley Meadows, we too have employed the principles of Feng Shui to design the homes and neighborhood of this beautiful Renton community.

What is Feng Shui?

The ancient practice, devised in China, focuses on living in harmony with the environment. In English, Feng Shui literally means “wind-water.” In Chinese culture, wind and water are associated with good health.

The ultimate goal of Feng Shui is to assure the health and good fortune for the people living within the space.

Feng Shui and the “Westcott Feel”

Before construction began on the Langley Meadows community in Renton, Westcott Homes turned to Shelley Diamond, an experienced practitioner of feng shui.

Diamond, founder of the Blue Mountain Feng Shui Institute in Seattle, visited the site and carefully reviewed floor plans, offering recommendations and advice on promoting the positive movement of Chi throughout the neighborhood and homes.

Diamond has more than 15 years of experience with feng shui and holds two certifications. She is an expert in the Classical Form School approach which focuses on how the architecture of a home ultimately creates its own energy. The practice is founded on mathematical principles and scientific fields of study, including geology, astronomy, and physics.

Bringing someone like Diamond to the table as we design a community is just one of the many ways we create that “Westcott feel.” We hope you appreciate the level of detail and careful approach we have taken while planning Langley Meadows.
