The situation of a Feng Shui Bungalow
Very often, a bungalow is situated on a large, square, and pleasant plot of land, ideally at the center of the property. In Chinese Yin-Yang Five Elements culture, “Earth” has no specific direction; it comes from the center. The designer of a bungalow places the most important part of the house at the center. This central area should be surrounded by a beautiful landscape that receives good Qi from the environment. As Guo Pu says in << Zang Shu >>: “The first thing is to have water.” Thus, a bungalow always includes some water. Water enters the bungalow through favorable sectors and exits through unfavorable sectors. According to these principles, creating a supportive environment for the residents of a bungalow allows them to benefit from good Feng Shui. This promotes prosperity, healthy and successful children, career success, a noble and long life, and harmonious relationships with others.
During the construction of a house, Feng Shui practitioners aim to place the Dragon Xue on the property. The Dragon Xue is the ideal location to unite the Qi of Heaven with the Qi of Earth for those living in the bungalow, according to Zang Shu. The bungalow is always designed with a mountain at the back and water in front of the house. It should be surrounded by mountains to achieve harmony between Heaven, Earth, and Man.

The Architectural Complex of a Feng Shui Bungalow
The reason is that the entire architectural complex of the bungalow is carefully positioned. Generally, it has doors and windows at the front and back, so that the whole structure resembles a process of production. The house represents paradise. The living area is Yang, while the back of the bungalow—such as the kitchen and dining room—is Yin. According to our definition of Feng Shui, the front is paradise and therefore Yang, while the back is Earth and therefore Yin. Yin and Yang unite in the center of the bungalow, where the Dragon Xue sits at the Jiao Tai spot. According to the Yi Jing, Jiao Tai signifies the union of Heaven and Earth. The front of the bungalow is always beautiful—free of any ugly or inauspicious objects in front of the main door or windows. At the same time, the left side is the Qing Long (Green Dragon), favorable for men. The right side is the Bai Hu (White Tiger), favorable for women. The left side of the bungalow is always higher than the right side. This arrangement clearly defines auspiciousness and favorability. When we consider the Dragon, Mountains, Water, Dragon Xue, and exposure together, the favorable conditions are fully realized.
