Demolished and preserved: the new old house printed

Nothing outstanding. Undistinguished old houses. They are painted: the only window in the wall so the roof of a triangle with the stack. The only - zdanitse why it is behind a glass wall, if located in an aquarium. You guessed it, why not? Because of the white house - does not exist.



Venue is Australia: old margin area of Melbourne, street name Tyson. Around one tiny cottages nondescript appearance, however, the area is considered a historical heritage and to be protected by the city council. That is stuck in the street Tyson 300-meter skyscraper can no Australian Gazprom.

And once one of the houses has changed the owner - the structure, together with land purchased non-poor family. The structure of the time completely dilapidated. However, the new owner initially planned to demolish houses and build in its place a normal modern 2-storey mansion, which was entrusted with the design of Melbourne architects of the Bureau of Jackson Clements Burrows Architects.



The customer immediately said that he does not want any trials with the guardians of historic heritage. They, in turn, agreed that the house is not a monument of architecture, or anything like that.

But city authorities have stated that the building makes a significant contribution to the urban landscape "and that new home should be in form, scale and detail in harmony with the surrounding buildings - exactly the same tiny one.



Of course, caught between the hammer and the anvil napryaglis architects. But, you must give them the dilemma resolved brilliant "unreal" a compromise that satisfies everyone. The project was simple title "The Old House."

There are no tricks with the reorientation of the image to create the illusion when viewed from different sides there. Projection here and do not smell. "The right kind of" new-old house has only one point - if you stand to face it, the top of eucalyptus with photographs coincide with a live tree.



The point is that the old house before the demolition, along with the neighboring wall, trees and sky, photographed. Then the photo printed at a scale of 1:1, set exactly at the place of razed buildings, closing the glass wall as a showcase.

Behind the wall of glass, of course, hides the wall normal. And it is a 2-storied posh mansion. Moreover, the glass facade - practical thing, it is hidden the gate garage for two cars.

Front door hardly disguised, but it is not too striking. But the mailbox in front of her disguise - and he out a piece of siding photographed.

"This project - our reaction to the difficulties in establishing the architecture on the sites of historic heritage. We wanted to show what problems arise in the process of approval - is spoken in Jackson Clements Burrows Architects. - In addition, it is our derisive gesture, which may give new impetus to the debate on the design of protected areas. "

My Old House architects nominated for the contest Premier's Design Awards 2006 (on the interior is also a good job) and even joined the short list, but ultimately did not receive anything.

And feelings, and mind

Comfortable space, filled with beautiful things ... How many were able to accommodate the nuances of the definition! Indeed, the authors found surprising and strong solutions, and taking into account the tastes of the owners, and the difficult conditions of the project.



The owners of the apartment - a couple of middle age. The work in the real estate business and leisure travel and sports take up almost all their time. The main desire, which made the hosts - the creation of a large living room, integrated with the dining room. Required to make a convenient system for storing things, accessory utility rooms and a separate room.


And feelings, and mind
From the kitchen in the bar under the tabletop made shelf-niches for storing bottles of wine

Design of apartments built on a contrasting color combinations: black and white, dark brown, wenge and white oak vybelenny, gray and bright red. Matching colors, the designer usually complicates their task. It is important to avoid excessive rigidity and a sense of drama in the interior (if the author of the project is not specifically set itself this goal). But that might say, living space - not a scene, where every play requires a certain entourage. The script of life sometimes changing very rapidly, but the decoration of the apartment can not be upgraded as quickly as theatrical scenery. Here, the architects managed to reach a happy medium between the tranquility and activity, feelings and mind, the black and white.

Our tour of the apartment we begin, as usual, with the hallway. The door to sketch the sponsors met the Russian master. Door cloth decorated veneer wenge and platband produced from an array of the same timber.





Hall is quite spacious, so it was impossible to ignore, is not designed every detail. Previously, the right of the entrance was located uncomfortable and plain wardrobe for electricians. He closed the passageway large mirrored panels on wheels. All this construction is a "pencil" a depth of 12 cm, inside of which are attached hooks for small items. Thus, otodvinuv panel, you can not only get access to the cabinet with electrical, but also hang bags or umbrellas. Next put a leather gazetnitsu. Here, in the lobby, there is a large cabinet to the ceiling. It provides convenient compartments for various things (including a separate space set aside for each pair of shoes many housewives).

Opposite the entrance to the apartment - otkatnye doors of frosted glass, covering stirochnuyu and storage. In addition to washing machines, sinks and cabinets are available convenient shelving system, constructed by the architects drawings.



Dominant living room - a red panel with backlight, which is attached to the TV. At the opposite end of the room, the dining area, an alcove under the open shelves for the collection of glassware. Its rear wall is made of wenge wood deep chocolate color. Before the shelves are placed a dining table, covered with veneer wenge and chairs with a semi-gunny back. Next to the table-transformer - Two sofa: one of them specially selected asymmetric back "a la the rivers, not to peregorazhivat passage in the kitchen.

The windows in the dining room and living room are decorated with natural fabrics - silk tight. Window sills are made of marble sand-beige color. Cornices for curtains hidden behind the ceiling peak of plasterboard, built around the perimeter of the living room and dining room.






The most secluded room in the apartment - a bedroom. It would create a cozy atmosphere of quiet relaxation, did not retreat from the overall aesthetics of the rest of the interior. Color has become a unifying principle: in the decoration and in the selection of furniture were of the same range as in the front area, including white, gray, beige and dark brown. They contrasted only red lacquered box, reminiscent of the "red box" in the living room. A variety of textures gives the bedroom a special charm. Lacquered doors wardrobe at the far end of the room reflect light. Besides, by the window - wicker chair with rattan. The main "environmental" focus - wall okleennaya wallpaper bamboo. It adjoins the bed bed, made of glass with illumination. Tsarga finished veneer wenge, like doors, and a chest of drawers with a floor mirror, and an alcove next to the cupboard. The same color and Skirting boards. Asked a quiet rhythm lights: three strong lights over the bed provides a soft light over a chest of drawers - four ceiling spotlights a simple cylindrical shape. The predominance of horizontal lines adjusts to rest. There are no open technical details - in the bedroom they were inappropriate. So, for example, over a window built "decorative" cornice with two echelon: in fact it is hidden ventkanal, which receives fresh air from the street.




L-shaped arrangement of kitchen furniture traditionally for such facilities: at the bottom - six modules in width 0,6 m and above - three cabinet on 1.2 m (one hidden drawing, and in another - for drying dishes). Tabletop is covered with durable laminate, her face is trimmed with oak veneer. Fronts Kitchen processed glossy varnish. In a corner of the furniture placed songs built refrigerator and high sliding closet to kitchen utensils. For the plasterboard ceiling lining hidden vent communication.



The same ceiling, keep the pipe, and arranged in the cabinet. Gray-beige varnished cabinet to the ceiling with embedded lights. On form, they follow the central square lamp VIBIA (Spain). Diwan down, turning into a spacious bed. Table cabinet picked the easy and simple: all the working information is stored in the owner on your laptop and boxes of papers he was not needed.

Bedroom separated from the rest of the premises. From it we get in the bathroom. She finished raznofakturnoy white tiles. Bathroom is equipped with glass curtains, covers only the area of the soul. In a corner of the room at the podium is a separate shower compartment. This room especially like the mistress. And the owner of more than impressed with the guest bathroom with a corner shower and brown floor tiles.

Sliding home the second changes the mood of the walls

We have a case where the exterior is deceptive. Look at this building from afar - I just shed some. Windows-loopholes, nekrashenye logs, and in general - a primitive form. But should you click, and exposes the secret to the audience filling: split into several parts of the cozy and bright home with large living room, conservatory.






The British company dRMM Architecture has spent several years in design and erection of Suffolk unusual cottage, called "Sliding Home". Customer Russell Ross wanted to get something not too fussy, but at the same time, advanced and innovative. To make it convenient, and unusual ecological.

And so it went. Some time ago, a happy new settler entered into a unique construction, and March 3, 2009 Alex de Rijk, chap dRMM, introduced Sliding House in London at the exhibition and conference on "green" architecture Ecobuild.






His colleagues on the shop and told the guests de Rijk, as innovation and creative thought flight can be connected to energy-efficient buildings "small forms". And "green" theme was tied to the Sliding House was not by chance. This cottage of his main sponsors - the Alex, and Gonsalves Joana - thought not for the sake of epatazha. While, admittedly, come home is impressive when you see it in action.

Sliding House deliberately "painted" in the style of local farms and the like from afar because of a shed or barn. In fact, Sliding House - these are three separate buildings, of the total concrete foundation: the main house, outhouse and garage. The first two built in one line (along the roof ridge) and the garage moved sideways so that almost touches the corners of them. Between the three blocks formed a small courtyard.

Zest same house - its outer shell mobile.




In addition to the main walls of the three building blocks of all the additional roof covers the top, combined with additional same walls. They also performed a few openings for windows and doors, only to behold notches are not necessarily tied to these doors and windows. After all, this "cap Pena" can move along the main axis of the building to many meters, with the ability to stop in any position.

Effectively. The owner may, at its taste, according to the weather, mood, time of day or year, change the degree of openness of the house. To make it to the castle, preserving heat, or substitute the same living room, conservatories (which is associated with a greenhouse because of the full glass walls and roof), under the rays.



The main story of this entire design - bars of larch. The basic structure of the walls are painted red and black, and the wooden walls of the external "Pena" is left of their natural hue. So the motion of the shell and even changing the prevailing color at home.

In a simplified form of the transformation of the premises, or treatment from a private home in the open we have already seen (for example, you can remember the home-bayan, rusty fort and a house without windows). But the idea of sliding Sliding House external designs brought to its logical finale: the connection of aesthetics to benefit.



Use the shell of his cottage, Russell changes the parameters of heat the sun, and - heat exchange with air, thereby reducing the cost of heating or air conditioning.

Wood, which de Rijk calls "the new concrete," is playing here is not the last role. British architect implies that a return to the wide application of wood in construction (new technologies) will help make homes more efficient.

"Opening" It sounds strange to the inhabitants of those settlements, where "all the way from the tree house and built. But, remembering the stylish and the British high-tech tower Timber tower, for example: it is indeed a new approach. Sam de Rijk (in collaboration with the architect company Helen & Hard) wants to build near the Norwegian Stavanger (Stavanger) modern wooden apartment complex with "original" name of Timber towers, consisting of three buildings (in total - to 114 apartments). The largest of them rises to 18 floors and will, according to the architects, the highest wooden structure in the world.

Since the degree of application of concrete, the authors of the draft has not yet been determined. Perhaps it will leave, but only for the central core buildings (elevators, stairs). Although it is possible, de Rijk will be able to build a 100-percent timber houses, then the record will be recorded on the right.





Wooden Sliding House are not so complicated. But no less interesting.

His 20-ton external facade of the roof is moved between the extreme positions within 6 minutes. Electric motors, resulting in the movement of small wheels, hidden in the thick of moving walls.

All four of these engines, as they are fed from the car battery that allows you to place a second wall and roof in place, even when disconnected from the power house. Finally a variety of seals and additional additions Thermal insulation makes this curious construction of habitable zhilische.Ross quite pleased with innovation. Now he can enjoy the scenery from the second floor glass addition, and if necessary to turn it into a darkened indoor room, suitable, for example, to use the home theater. In the case of conventional window would have to shoot multiple blinds, and more - something to do with a transparent roof.

Coverage in other rooms of the cottage also depends on the position of the outer shell, and in one of the places at home and it is open space to all the winds when necessary.

And, of course, one can not but rejoice in the house, which you can choose (to some degree), position and size of windows and doors. What is "shed" on this way?

Fen shui → The value of water in the house

House, which runs next to the creek or river, attracting qi, which means good luck and happiness. Most people like to live near the water, see it in the morning from the window, to relax on the beach, to enjoy its coolness during bathing. Water for the benefit of all elements, especially the mix well, those elements are in the cycle of producing near water - metal and wood. People born under the auspices of these three elements will be able to extract unusually large profits, settled near the water, or arranging your home so that the water came to their house.

Violent water, high waves destroyed the well-being, loss of money, depriving the family wealth, and never have to lie at rest, building a house on the shore of the rapid mountain stream, ocean or sea (especially on a straight line with a sea wall, on which the waves are broken, so broken and Your happiness). Standing, had a bad smell of the water had incurable disease and grief.

Only quietly current water flow creates wealth. It is best if the water (swimming pool, creek, fountain) in front of facade of house: in this case it symbolizes applied for the benefit of the family financial capabilities. The water behind the house - it missed the opportunity to earn: person living in the house will never be able to use it, which will lead to disappointment and empty pockets.

If possible, build a house on the shores of this twisting of the river, which is not re-resyhaet summer, and not bottled spring flooded the neighborhood. Her water should be clean and slow. Be sure to clear all the plant, the river close to home. You make sure that your financial situation improves soon, the state will rapidly increase. Do not build dams, water mills, bar the path of water flow or slowing its movement. A dam on the river - a symbol for money, so the inflow of material in your family (company) may stop. A natural, slowly running water flow at the entrance to the house - this is the ideal, according to Feng Shui, the planning area. But to attract money luck, to achieve financial prosperity, you can install in the lobby of a miniature fountain, arranging on the house next to a pool, a pond with fish, or a small waterfall.

Any construction to create an artificial stream of water only looks good, and most importantly, attracts qi, and bring the money when it has a size in proportion to the area, houses, flats.

The fountain sits in front of the entrance to the house, but no closer than 10 meters from the door. Prior to his device, consider whether you will be able to ensure its uninterrupted work, timely maintenance and proper care. Broken Fountain - a symbol of destruction, financial ruin, bankruptcy. If every day, leaving home and going to work, you'll see a dead fountain, will pass or go past him, you will find yourself at the mercy of the steps. Your thoughts, ideas and actions will cease to generate income, you will be left without means of subsistence.
So, the fountain should be included every day, to work correctly, then your family's financial situation improves.

Swimming pool - a useful thing, but in terms of Feng Shui not so safe.
To effect the availability of the pool near the house or indoors was positive, with its layout and the arrangement must comply with a number of Feng Shui:
- Place the end of the pool or in front of the building facade;
- Carefully calculate the ratio of the water basin planning and the overall ASW-schadi plot in front of the house and the house. Water should not overwhelm the Earth (ie your house), from this you will get no benefit and harm. People of Fire and Earth to better confine ornamental pools or a pond, a large quantity of water would weaken their forces distract luck;
- The best for the basin shape - round, oval or fasolevidnaya. Angles rectangular, square or triangular reservoirs generate steps and direct its flow to the house, leaving its inhabitants being and happiness.

The most effective and universal "water" way to attract money luck - this is a pond or aquarium with fish. The first is good for the garden in front of the house, the second one looks fine and works in any room. In each case, or company party or initiated by a man, he has to take the test, proving that it can cope with a task to verify qualifications. Just stand the regular examination of life, we have an opportunity to advance their careers, develop their ability to continue to grow. Fish through the many obstacles on the way to spawning grounds, - a symbol of growth and success in any endeavor.

What kind of fish you settle in the pond, it does not matter. But they should not be too much (you do want to bring good luck, rather than arrange fish farm). In China, a preference decorative fish species: the golden fish, and Japanese carp (hieroglyph denoting word carp, in tune with the words, the translation of which reads as "the possession of wealth"). The number of fish in the pond or aquarium is also symbolic: The number 3 indicates an increase, 6 - wealth 8 - money and prosperity to the family, 9 - longevity. The best place to fish from the reservoir is located in front of the house facade, good for the device is considered and the north, south, east and west directions. Bad Feng Shui - a pond, located on the right hand of the man leaving the house. Such an arrangement can destroy a marriage (it is believed that it was confusing to the righteous path of their husbands). Caring for the pond and the fishes, replace or clean water, it appears that the algae did not razras-talis too much. If the fish are hiding in them, rocky bottom of the reservoir will cease to be visible, the owner of the house awaiting the plot, someone "pletet" intrigues in order to seize his money. Dead fish immediately replace healthy. Loss of fish does not always mean loss of money, sometimes the sign is treated as reserved from home hoodoo.

Fen shui → Money luck

Are riches, money, influence on the happiness of man? It is unlikely that the role of money in human life is so great, but also underestimate their importance, it would be unnatural. Money matters are rights-free, a sufficient number will allow you to do things that you could not with-hands without them.

In Feng Shui, there are many means of attracting wealth and abundance. Perhaps this issue more often concerned not only the usual contemporary Chinese, but their distant ancestors. China is committed to do everything possible to achieve prosperity for their own kind, because the wealth, the welfare of the family - an occasion for pride and the basis for a future happy life descendants. For many people, the wealth - is synonymous with affluence and prosperity of the family.
Not everyone agrees with this view. Many believe that happiness - it is desirable and of determination to be happy: it is possible to live in poverty and be happy. However, if you feel yourself lucky when you do not have the money for sick child care, or you will be unable to repay a loan for a house and lishites roof over your head?

So, whether in money happiness - a controversial issue. If you possess them will make you happy, then necessarily activate the wealth area of your house, apartment or job. To do this, here attract a larger number of qi. You can enhance the lighting or hang a crystal zerka-lo, but more often than not the money "bait" with the help of objects and images that symbolize money.

Currency symbols in this case acts as a mute maxim (maxim - it is a moral rule, saying in a sentence nedopuskayuschego objection, briefly expressed zhenny view), that is a reminder of the important ethical rule that you have become raetes stick in my life activities.

Every time you think falls, for example, "money" tree, Aquarium, which swim eight gold and one black fish, or vazochku with coins, you'll remember that thing to work, for which organized business.

As in Asia, considered a symbol of money? On an aquarium with gold fish, we have already said-Riley, will tell more about other means of Feng Shui to attract money luck.

Any living plant with round leaves symbolizes wealth gains. Such a plant is desirable to acquire and bring into the house is already an adult, well-cared for, that leaves would not vyali not zhelteli not opadali and development have not been suspended. The growth of plants - a symbol of increasing wealth, opadayuschie leaves - a symbol of loss of money, financial setbacks. You have grown seedling - a symbol of financial recovery after bankruptcy.

Items are round, made of metal or painted in gold or sereb-Risto color, attract money luck. Vazochku round with a few coins can be to put in the wealth sector of your desktop, it will always be in the limelight, once again reiterated the need to care about the welfare of families, distract from the selfish plans.
Chinese coins are used as amulets to help bring into the house of money, wealth and abundance. They hang on a red ribbon or silk cord on the wall in the area of wealth bedroom or office, the child's bed (wish newborn rich life). If you do not want someone found you in acquisitiveness, selfishness, asking once again what meaning and what the purpose of these coins, then place them where they will be invisible third-sight. For example, put them under the ornamental flowerpot, which is a pot of "money" tree (a combination of these two characters is especially effective: your wealth will grow as the tree will add to growth).

Some people wrap a few coins in a red cloth or paper and puts in more gatstva, but away from prying eyes, for example in the box desktop or bedside cabinets, TV, at the bottom of boxes with the jewels.

You can attract wealth qi to the area if they will keep money or jewelry, any signs of prosperity and abundance. This may be a collection of art, money, or a hundred-rinnyh coins (a collection in itself represents a great value, and also attracts money in your home), gold plated or silver service, a gold (silver) medal, received for successful completion of school or victory in competitive sports, painting, or embroidery, which depicts nine fish, etc.

Area wealth decorate the dining room or kitchen vase with "gold" fruit - oranges or mandarins. This is also a symbol of money, because these fruits are not only round, but golden-orange color - typically "cash."

Ambitious man, who wishes to have a lot of money, Feng Shui offers a lot of opportunities (other than already listed), making the appropriate sector of Bagua. Water flow is associated with a calm course in Feng Shui with the money. Water is life-giving force, it nourishes the land, making it fertile, will die without it all life on earth.

Fen shui → Numbers as a means of achieving success

Since each element of Feng Shui is interlinked with the rest of its components, is a common symbol (nine groups according to the number of sectors of the Magic Square: nine trigrams and their corresponding nine directions, numbers, etc.), the symbol color of nature, trends can be replaced by numbers, the value of which coincides with the interpretation of this symbol.

Numbers, like colors, can be happy and unhappy, bringing good luck or not-happiness. By the way, numerology is extremely popular in Asia. You never sell your house if it is number 24. For the Chinese it is a combination of words omonimichno (ie, consonant, similar to the sound), the phrase "easy death." Road Number 288 ( "easy money, money") will be sold first, because the promise to its owner good luck and wealth.

The numbers are divided into yin or yang. By Yin are all even numbers to Yang - odd. The most happy, odd numbers are considered to be favorable, but they both should be associated presence in equal numbers to maintain a balance of two principles. Well, when the house number, date of birth is an element of yin and yang. Attitudes towards numeral in the nation is determined by word-omonimu. Number 1 sounds like a "win, the honor, therefore, is favorable, and the number 4 sounds like" death ", so is considered bad, Jonah.

Below you'll find a homonym in line with numbers from 1 to 9:

1 (one) is pronounced as "honor, winning";
2 (two) - as "easy";
3 (Three)- as a "growth";
4 (four) - as the "death";
5 (five) - as "nothing";
6 (Six) - as "wealth";
7 (seven) - as "probably";
8 (eight) - as the "prosperity";
9 (nine) - as the "longevity."

The method of interpretation combined figures in Asia differs from the Western tradition. In the West, taken to determine the value of the sum of all digits, reduced to a single digit, while in Asia, each digit is treated separately. Number 58 is set to "no money", 68 - "a lot of money," 18 - "benefit-rannye money." Interestingly, four in some situations is interpreted not as an unhappy number, but rather, bringing good luck, especially in love, sex and education. The combination of 4 and 8 does not sound as "death money, but as a" great wealth ", as well as four have been associated with severe and honest labor. Number 48 - a symbol of wealth, people who work, worked honestly and hard.

The interpretation of numbers in the traditional Chinese numerology is fundamentally different from the above language (popular) method:

1 - a symbol of independence;
2 - a symbol of diplomacy, tact and love relationships;
3 - a symbol of creativity, a happy life;
4 - the symbol of the slow, transcends barriers, but steady progress;
5 - a symbol of change, diversity, including travel;
6 - the symbol of home and family responsibilities;
7 - a symbol of spirituality, wisdom, knowledge;
8 - the symbol of money;
9 - a symbol of love.

When buying a home, you can create a forecast for the family of his number. Suppose that your house number 267, it means that life in this house will be full of love (2), all family members will perform their duties (6), will be wise and to enhance their knowledge (7).

If your workplace is in the room number 75, we can say that in the near future you will be working to improve their professional skills, you will find the trip or other change in their lives. Perhaps this combination of numbers will be heard as a "journey to knowledge and the mean trip for refresher courses.

Numbers in Feng-shui relate to the colors, elements and directions. If necessary, one of the symbols can be replaced by another, such as digital color or enhance an important influence in this period of your life direction.

However, its presence in the house or flat dosing carefully, verified and analyzed from the standpoint of preserving the balance of yin and yang. It is a white room is cold, dazzling in its feel as restlessly as a room where all the colors in the color black.

Fen shui → The windows of your apartment

The windows in Feng Shui is called the "eyes" flat. After placing them in natural light penetrates, and therefore the energy of qi. Dust, dirt on the window glass absorbs a considerable portion of the sunlight, become an obstacle in the way of creative energy, a lack which sooner or later affects the welfare of family members and their health. A person will feel tired, weak, unhealthy, and medical examinations did not find any deviations from the norm. A good doctor and an experienced expert on Feng Shui unanimously advise in this situation more ventilated area, wash the windows and open them during the day, the intake into the house more fresh air and sunlight.

The direction in which the "look" unwashed windows, the type of trouble that should be feared. To the east are expected family squabbles and a lack of friends, from the west - conflict with children, from the south - the shame and humiliation, from the north - a lowering of service or dismissal, with the North-west, probably - a bad trip and lost the support of spiritual mentor, with North-East - pro-shafts in examinations, with the south-west - the intimate, spat with a spouse, divorce, from the south-east - the financial collapse, poverty.
Do not risk nothing, do not wait until the activity drops to a quarter-sector ranges, affect your career, personal life or health, and to the extent of pollution wash the windows, car-bottom, empty the exterior visors from dust, fallen leaves and frass, which like a magnet attracts Sha.

Regularly (at least once every one to two years), empty window frames of old paint, sanded the surface, stop all cracks, gaps and paint again, covers a layer of varnish to ensure a reliable protection from the adverse external environment. Liu-bye visible paint defects, cracks in window frames, and even more broken, broken glass becomes a source of Sha La or agents of negative energy aimed at the windows from outside. Therefore, all damage to windows and frames should be immediately removed.
Glass in frames should be reinforced strongly that when a strong gust of wind, the weather, they do not rattle, attracting negative steps. Through them must not penetrate the moisture, creating an excess of water and the yin of the room.
All handles and latches (other locking device) on the windows should be serviceable, easily, quietly opened and closed, and the leaf box - break completely, do not damage the surface of Daya while sill, cornice.

To protect the home from unwanted infiltration from outside the windows increasingly are being established metal lattice.

Technological innovations in recent years - double-glazed windows, frames and windows are tightly linked, are not inconsistent with the principles of Feng Shui, help care for the windows (they do not need to paint, zakleivat for winter), and simultaneously provide the inflow of fresh air and life-giving energy. The only condition: the frame must be made of natural breathing, living, energy-conducting material - wood. And the use of evaporative harmful vapors that violate the balance of yin and yang of plastic, aluminum and other synthetic materials is better to refuse.

Preferably, the sills of the windows in the apartment were large, wooden, and the EU-testvenno, clean, well-groomed, a good prokrashennymi, without dents and cracks. Magiche Volga-box, which in the analysis of the premises of Feng Shui is used to highlight nine areas, may be placed on virtually any plane, whether a human face, arm, foot, land single room in an apartment or a window sill. Thus, imposing a magic square on the surface of a window sill, you can define the area of human life, which is suffering due to improper care, neglect of things, the environment.
Remember that the window sill - this is the wrong place for storage by any: books, crockery, newspapers, children's toys. If you keep things on the windowsill, then this bad habit sosluzhit your service: with time on the road pi formed rubble, impervious to light and positive energy filled with dust and unnecessary, unused items that attract your apartment steps. It is best to keep the sills free to have the opportunity each day, wipe them with the dust, open windows to ventilate the premises. Feng Shui allows for location on the window sill small, do not create shade plants, aquariums with mandatory term of additional illumination, but no more.
