Finding balance, good energy in the heart of the metro
At its core, feng shui is about balance, guiding individuals toward auspicious outcomes.
In that sense, Residences at The Galleon is the same. It’s an exciting home in Ortigas Center that wants nothing more for their owner than to feel lucky for their place in the world.
Zoom into the details and you find that certain feng shui principles are expressed in the way the 51-story Residences at The Galleon was curated.
Avoid clutter
This is one of the most memorable axioms of feng shui: Clutter blocks positive energy.
In some instances, it’s hard to comply because, even when you go the Marie Kondo route, the amount of space that’s available simply is not enough.
That problem is virtually nonexistent for homeowners at Residences at The Galleon. With some of the most expansive living spaces on offer throughout condos in the capital, at 69 sqm to 411 sqm, there is enough space to play around with layouts and add those feng shui charms.
Let the light in
Western design conventions say natural light promotes productivity and imagination.
Feng shui is similar, believing natural light promotes positive energy to flow in. It is, thus, important that people’s homes can receive sufficient daylight.
That is an advantage that unit owners at the Residences at The Galleon can gain through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Each unit also has a balcony, an extension of the living space where people can bask in the sunlight throughout the day.
Bring in some nature
Feng shui promotes a mindset of oneness with nature, so it recommends bringing natural elements, such as a vase of flowers or a bowl of fruits, into the home.
Residences at The Galleon, too, has a way of encouraging its dwellers to embrace that philosophy. It is in the details like wood flooring in the bedrooms, as well as. the windows that provide panoramic views of the city and the nature beyond.
It also has pockets of outdoor spaces that help people commune with the cosmos, as well as a host of amenities in the outdoor Active and Quiet Zones, both of which encourage movement and mindful relaxation.
Conserve resources
That communion with nature extends to respecting the resources nature can provide–among the unique offerings of Residences at The Galleon that also make it modern.
You will, indeed, conserve water and electricity in a home that complies with the Green Building Code and that has a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification.
Built into it are technologies that efficiently purify air, use water and save power. Residences at The Galleon also boasts of contactless technology with smart appliances and a specialized app.
Connected to the world
Feng shui is also about proximity to the rest of the world. One does not attain peace only by being close to a forest or open space, but also by being close to a market or a road.
In Western parlance, that is “strategic location.” And, Residences at The Galleon’s location puts it not only in the heart of the Ortigas Center but in the very center of the metropolis.
Isn’t that an auspicious corner of the world?
