bedrooms on 1st floor & livingroom kitchen on 2nd

[myfs_127174]

a friend's house is designed that the arched driveway goes up to the second floor,where their living, dining, & kitchen is located. their bedrooms & a family hall are all located in the ground floor. there is alsoa doorin the ground floor which opens tothe family hall, (directlly below the 2nd floor main door). the design actually looks nice from the street, as the arched driveway and main door is clearly visible.

he reasons that this type of design is more fucnttional as most comfort rooms are in the ground floor(avoid leaks), kitchen on second floor getsbetter ventilation, living & dining room also gets more natural light in the day.

what are the feng shui interpretation on this type of house?

Dear Anon,

Most likely, your friend or friend's family don't have any elderly in need of aid such as wheelchair bound or walking stick!

In addition, some elderly or even those who may have some illness such as diabetes that may need to go toilet often. Tell them to "enjoy" walking up and down the home.

In addition, for us Chinese, we do cook alot : lots of wet ingredients. Tell it to us, to first bring up our marketing items.. hopefully prawns don't leak it's contents on the walkway etc...

Later, need to dispose of it.

Don't get me wrong, I like the "idea".

But. as especially for the Chinese, many of us live with our parents, especially to look after them. Not to "torture" them!

Thus, perhaps, for some cultures, where no elderly stays with them (or even babies that one day will crawl - between 1, 2 to 3 years old).

From another point of view, it is good ifone does not intend to have the elderly interect in the living room.They will be much confined to their four walls!Is this good? Let's imagine!

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
