Creating sanctuary with auspicious design

THE SIGNATURE’S centerpiece is the water features that not only contribute to a resort-like ambience but also enhance flow of money and career of the residents.

When Filinvest Premiere presented The Signature to the media Thursday, the company invited as guest feng shui master Hanz Cua, who explained why living in this medium-rise residential enclave will be a positively balanced experience, nurturing family relationships while forming and strengthening business and community ties.

“Thanks to feng shui, the ancient Chinese system of balancing energy to create a healthy and prosperous space, elements of such have been incorporated into this 6,000-square-meter development to beautify it and to encourage positive and lucky energy—a bonus for those looking for a chic condo on A. Bonifacio Avenue (near Scout Emilio Rivera street), Quezon City,” said Cua.

The Signature will feature three towers with a total of 348 units, ranging from two- (price starts at P9 million) to three-bedroom (price starts at P14 million) units with sizes between 75 and 105 square meters.

Cua explained: “The Signature gives a nod to Chinese heritage by incorporating elements of feng shui into common spaces (in fact, the whole green space is patterned after the Summer Palace in Beijing). The water features at The Signature—the Olympic-size lap pool, submerged and kiddie pools, and lounge and pool decks in each tower—not only contribute to a resort-like ambience but also enhance flow of money and career of the residents. Taichi gardens and oriental courtyards imbue the space with the air of serenity, a significant contrast to the lively and busy highway fronting the property.”

According to Cua, future residents of The Signature would be able to take advantage of the so-called Period 8 that starts on Feb. 4, 2004, and will end in 2023. He said: “Land and prices of properties will increase in Period 8 because earth energy is very important. Properties will be the major investment of families and most likely be the best form of money-making opportunity.”

THROUGHOUT the property, there will be “Pi Yao,” symbols that are regarded as a wealth magnet and is helpful for those who are in need of money luck.

As for the units and its owners, he said wearing green, painting the rooms in shades of green, or using green color elements would enhance money and wealth luck, especially in the year 2015.

When asked why feng shui is a big thing in real estate, Filinvest Land Niche Market Management group head Marjorie Siao explained that feng shui penetrates every aspect of property development.

Siao said: “It is used in site selection, landscape planning, architecture and interior design. In real estate marketing, feng shui is used as a selling point for both residential and commercial developments. For instance, there is positive ‘qi’ when roads go straight by the property and bring energy from both directions, just like A. Bonifacio Avenue. Indeed, the truism in real estate about ‘location, location, location’ holds true with feng shui’s emphasis on site selection and land planning.”
