 "Feng shui will lead you to spaces imbued with a positive essence."

WELCOME TO OUR HUB

Located on the 7th floor, our space serves as a sanctuary for international students far from home. Respecting and acknowledging the heritage of Haymarket, our study hub draws inspiration from the early Tong buildings, where Chinese migrants would gather for support, community, and cultural connection.

Recognizing that Haymarket is home to diverse Asian communities, we seek to create a common ground that unites everyone, harmonizing like the ancient philosophy of Feng Shui. As you journey through our space, you will experience interiors and exteriors designed with Feng Shui principles, evoking nostalgia and the comfort of home.

RENDERED JOURNEY
Through Elemental Spaces 

Prepare to embark on a transformative journey through spaces that each represent a life sector from the Feng Shui Bagua Map. Each area is meticulously designed with a distinct purpose, utilizing the materiality, color, atmosphere, and form dictated by the five elements of Feng Shui: fire, water, earth, wood, and metal. This creates a series of diverse and immersive experiences, each sector offering its unique energy and ambiance.
