A house for an elder father and his son's young family, the parameters for this design were a little unusual.  The father and son are both Feng-Shui experts, but of different schools, and they had very specific requirements ranging from directional spatial alignments to details such as never having an even number of steps.

Taking the stairwell as the axial element, both in plan and also vertically, a design parti was established that lent to the symetrical placement of the master bedroom and the elder father's bedroom on the second floor.

At the same time, to provide more flexibility and privacy, the third floor was developed to provide a more private suite that could be used as either the elder father's private domain or as a future teenagers' hangout.
