A Home In Balance
A sense of tranquility is the common thread running through Union Village. From thoughtfully planned community paths to inviting interiors, every space has been designed to make you feel at home.
For interior plans, layouts have been fine-tuned by international feng shui master, Paul Ng. One of North America’s top ranking experts in the field, Ng has personally approved every plan to ensure conformity to feng shui principles. These curated spaces will help residents enjoy more harmony, happiness and, overall, a better quality of life.
- Options for separated stoves and sinks (to avoid a clash between the energetic elements of fire and water).
- Staircases and entrances are kept a respectful distance apart (so that the main floor remains nourished by good energy).
- Front doors and back doors are offset (so as not to disturb the flow of chi, the vital life force).
- Avoidance of toilets which face a door (to ensure positive energy and wealth are not flushed away).
Live life in balance, in a community where every detail has been considered, and where life’s energy freely flows.
