A former banker, Wilfred Leu found his calling as a FengShui practitioner after a debilitating financial crisis in 2008. What started out as a means to overcome his predicament became a second career. Since then, Wilfred has gained recognition through word-of-mouth from clients ranging from homeowners, to bankers and multinational corporations. He recently had the opportunity to apply his expertise of the Chinese philosophical system to his own home.

At the beginning of the project, Wilfred provided Miki Shi, design consultant at Copper Design Associates, with a detailed catalogue containing photographs and dimensions of all the precious stones, antique vases, paintings, wooden furniture and other auspicious artefacts in his extensive collection, which he wanted to incorporate into his home. Miki admits that it is the first time she has worked on such a FengShui-driven home.

“it was challenging and exciting at the same time. A lot of research and analysis were undertaken before the actual execution. But after understanding Wilfred’s lifestyle and requirements, I had the freedom to propose my design ideas,” she says.

The close working relationship and good communication between Wilfred and the designer resulted in a unique apartment that harmonises FengShui and interior design principles seamlessly.
