Feng Shui Garden Design: No. 3 Lorikeet Lane Part 2 - Site Assessment and Chi Analysis

Continuing the transformation of Number 3 Lorikeet Lane, this installment focuses on detailed site assessment from the intended primary viewing position—the veranda chair where beneficial Chi should accumulate.

Compass Analysis and Sector Energies

An easterly to north-easterly aspect provides ideal morning sun and summer breezes. The relocated home behind shelters from cold winds, while a planned southern screen will block undesirable views and harsh southerlies.

Identifying Sha Chi (Poison Arrows)

Several detrimental energy sources require remediation:

• Garden shed and electrical sub-box in Mission Brown creating visual and energetic intrusion
• Storm-damaged Eucalyptus and Cocos Palm overhanging the veranda—both safety hazards and Sha Chi sources
• Neighbor's garden shed and relocatable home projecting negative energy
• Concrete drain cutting across lawn—a classic "poison arrow"

Borrowed Scenery (Shakkei)

The view encompasses a tidal estuary, nine-hole golf course with wildlife (including grey kangaroos), and the established gardens of Number 1 Lorikeet Lane—all valuable Chi sources to incorporate into the design.

Next Steps

Removing Sha Chi intrusions takes priority before establishing garden beds and fine-tuning beneficial Chi flow. The veranda chair remains the design anchor for energy harmonization.
