In a 32-story building, the 16th to 22nd floors are usually considered the preferred choice for intelligent people, while the ground floor, top floor, and equipment floors should be avoided as much as possible. Below, we will analyze in detail the reasons from the perspectives of feng shui and living experience, and share some small tips to improve the living atmosphere.
Which floors are best to buy in a 32-story building?
From the perspective of feng shui's five elements and energy flow theory, the middle to upper part of a 32-story building has an ideal energy field.The 16th to 22nd floors fall within the golden section of the entire building. From an energy perspective, they are neither too low to be disturbed by the messy energy of the ground, nor too high to have scattered energy.
Like the middle jiao (central region) of the human body, which is the key area for the rise and fall of vital energy, these floors can better receive the energy of heaven and earth for the residents, making them feel physically and mentally stable.
For example, people engaged in creative work who live on the 18th floor may find their thinking more active, with continuous inspiration and improved work efficiency; those running businesses who live on the 20th floor may have clearer thinking during commercial negotiations, making it easier to capture business opportunities and promote cooperation, leading to a thriving career.
From the perspective of living experience, these floors have excellent lighting and sufficient sunlight, keeping the indoor space bright and warm, with ample yang energy, in line with the feng shui concept of "facing the sun brings life."
Moreover, the view is broad, reducing the obstruction from surrounding buildings, allowing residents to have a more open mindset, which is beneficial for cultivating positive emotions and expanding interpersonal relationships.
At the same time, this area is less affected by ground noise, with smooth air circulation and good air quality, offering a high level of comfort. For example, the 16th floor enjoys the quietness and openness of a high floor without worrying about issues like strong wind or low water pressure that might occur at higher floors, making daily life convenient and pleasant.
Which floors should be avoided in a 32-story building?
The ground floor, which refers to the first to third floors, is considered to have heavy yin energy from a feng shui perspective. On one hand, being close to the ground makes it prone to dampness and impure energy, similar to how the body's foundation being in a humid environment is detrimental to health and luck.On the other hand, the ground floor is often blocked by surrounding greenery and buildings, resulting in insufficient lighting and difficulty in allowing enough yang energy into the room. Long-term residence may cause feelings of oppression.
From a living experience perspective, the ground floor is noisy, whether it's the sounds of people and vehicles in the community or the noise from surrounding commercial activities, all of which affect the tranquility of life.
Additionally, privacy is poor, as passersby can easily see inside the house. For example, the first floor facing the street is constantly exposed to the sound of traffic, making it difficult to get good rest and significantly reducing the living experience.
The top floor, which is the 32nd floor, has excessively strong and unstable energy in feng shui. The top floor directly endures sunlight and rain, becoming extremely hot in summer and cold in winter, which does not conform to the concept of yin-yang balance.
The top floor is also prone to leakage problems. Once it occurs, repairs are complicated and may disrupt the feng shui layout of the interior. In terms of living experience, the top floor is windy, especially during strong winds, with windows constantly whistling, affecting sleep.
Moreover, it heavily depends on the elevator. If there is an elevator failure or power outage, it becomes very inconvenient to go out. For example, in hot summer, the indoor temperature of the 32nd floor is often several degrees higher than other floors, and even with the air conditioner on, the energy consumption is high, increasing the cost of living.
Equipment floors and adjacent floors should also be carefully chosen. Equipment floors are usually located in the middle floors (such as the 16th and 17th floors), where a large number of heating, power supply, and water supply equipment are concentrated. The noise, vibration, and radiation generated by the operation of these devices can interfere with the living energy field, affecting the physical and mental health of the residents. Adjacent floors will also be affected to some extent. For example, residents living above the equipment floor may often hear the humming sound of the equipment running. Long-term exposure to such an environment may lead to irritability, affecting work and life conditions.
If you have already bought a ground-floor apartment, you can improve the feng shui through interior layout. Place large potted plants, such as the money tree, in the living room. Its broad leaves can absorb impure energy and convert it into a vibrant energy field.
At the same time, use bright lights, especially in areas with insufficient lighting, to increase the yang energy indoors. You can also place a red mat at the entrance, as red belongs to the fire element in the five elements, and has the effect of enhancing yang energy and warding off evil spirits.
If you live on the top floor, you can install reflective and heat-insulating materials on the roof to reduce the indoor temperature and balance the excessive yang energy. Placing a crystal ball indoors can stabilize the energy field, helping to calm the unstable energy field of the top floor.
Additionally, plant some climbing plants, such as pothos, on the balcony to form a natural green barrier, which can block part of the strong light and regulate the energy field.
For residents living near the equipment floor, hang thick curtains on the bedroom windows to reduce the impact of noise and radiation. Place a small humidifier in the corner of the room to increase the air humidity and alleviate the dryness caused by the equipment operation, improving the energy field of the living environment.
