Working with Architects

I have formed successful relationships with practicing architects, working with them on behalf of our clients to incorporate the best Feng Shui features into their renovation, restoration, extensions and new-build projects for residential properties, commercial buildings, gardens and urban design.  I have assisted many clients in the UK and overseas with their visions and aspirations in the development of structural work and re-design of interior and exterior space.  Highly experienced in incorporating sound Feng Shui concepts realistically into architectural plans and drawings, I am always keen to work directly with architects teams to participate in their projects.  Having an interior design diploma and  garden design expertise, I am an Affiliate member of both the Royal Institute of British Architects and the Landscape Institute.

Landscape Architecture

The influence of external factors is far more powerful than interior features according to Feng Shui theory. Even when a building cannot be augmented structurally, or only minimal internal Feng Shui adjustments can be made, huge benefit can be gained by applying Feng Shui principles outside, around the entrance and in the grounds. Feng Shui and Landscape Architecture have close similarities, both aiming to ensure that the natural environment is sensitive, nurturing and sustainable.  Both combine aesthetic, social and economic perspectives with ecological design so that people, plants and animals thrive. Landscape architecture features that I may recommend where appropriate include living green walls and roofs, planting and habitats for birds and insects,natural healing environments and recycled water resources.

Urban Design

Urban development design strategies are what make our cities great, or leave much to be desired.  A positive way forward is collaboration between professionals practicing a range of relevant specialisms to successfully shape our present and future built environment. We welcome opportunities to provide our Feng Shui expertise to this end.  My experience notably includes providing Feng Shui landscaping guidelines for London’s Earls Court urban redevelopment master plan and, as a Plymouth Architectural Trust committee member, involvement in the initial urban planning concept for the future regeneration of Plymouth town centre.

Client Feedback

“I was seeking the services of an accredited Feng Shui practitioner when i visited Sylvia’s website.  Being a British trained architect residing in South Africa, i worked with Sylvia on a total re-development of my own home via skype and email.  I was amazed by her in-depth knowledge on the subject matter. The long distance consultations with Sylvia yielded a design that has satisfied everyone in my family and we look forward to totally enhanced energy structure in our re-designed home.”   Reesh Singh  L&R Architects, Durban, South Africa

“I consulted Sylvia for my new house construction project in Dubai. I requested a full architectural design review, environmental survey and energetic land cleansing. During her visit here, and prior to visiting, she helped me to develop the house plan, introducing many improvements to the original drawings largely based on Feng Shui. Sylvia is realistic, reliable and a real expert in her subject. She gave us her full support and brought us just the results we wanted. Her services also reduced the impact of certain negative circumstances regarding the project. My wellbeing and motivation also became stronger. It was an amazing experience for me. I intend to consult her again with the interior design plans.” Seddiqa S.  Dubai. More Clients’ Testimonials
