Rebuilding the house

[Silky]

HI,
We have been living in a rectangular house with the front door at the western side of the house, not the front. Stairs are directly at the entrance. Since the house is getting too small for the family we want to make it bigger - actually add to it. It would still remain rectangular, entrance would be in front. We would just make it longer and one floor higher with open stairs leading to the upper floor at the side of the house. Is that ok? And if it's not, do you have any suggestions how to annul any problems that might occur?
Thank you.
Best wishes,
Angela

Dear Angela,
In my opinion, it would be best if you want to apply Feng Shui to get a FS practitioner to go thru all the details. As the modification may affect i.e. the Shapes and Form of the home (itself) and Compass School readings.
If you do not want to engage a FS practitioner, you can try to make sure of the following:-
1. Shapes and form Feng Shui.
Here, you made a good point by trying to make sure that the house is as rectangular as possible.
2. Outline of the house.
Does the house resemble any "human body" shape?
If you have not read this article, please go thru it:-

It highlighst an actual case study: House influenced by Feng Shui (Yang Zhai Shi Shu).
This particular case, involved my grandfather who had `chopped' off the head of the house to build an extension. There are two critical - "errors". Not only chopping the head but subsequently, made the head of the house heavy by building a second storey above it.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
