Nowadays the requests from clients to incorporate continuous floor-to-ceiling glass panels along the villa's façade, are more and more frequent. Here's my takeaway about it from the aspect of Feng-Shui.
Feng-Shui approves large glass panels, because of their connection with the Yang energy, which is the incoming sunlight.
The Yang energy is associated with vitality and is much needed in the communal spaces, so it's a great practice to add glass panels in spaces like the living room, dining area and the office room.
As you see in the photo attached, which is my recent design "Cabin Alcyone", I've placed continuous glass panels along the living room and dining area, allowing the sunlight and the breeze from the sea to flow seamlessly into the house.
Yet, designing such cabin, requires considering some key factors, and let me share them with you...
While the transparent glass panels allow an uninterrupted flow of the energy, they can also allow easy flow of the energy outwards, that in Feng-Shui signifies financial loss.
That's why placing overhangs, curtains and blinds, is a good practice to control the flow of chi and provide a sense of protection when needed.
Incorporating also landscape features like trees, plants or shrubs in front of the glass panels can soften the energy flow and prevent it from escaping too quickly, causing potential financial loss.
So, remember that the glass panels are associated with the Yang energy of vitality and is a good practice to add them in spaces like the living room and dining area, but always consider ways of providing a more softened energy flow.
