HACIENDA HEIGHTS, Calif. — A McDonald's restaurant in Hacienda Heights, Calif., recently unveiled a feng shui-inspired design, blending classic architecture with modern feng shui aspects including water elements, earth tones, red accents and exotic fauna.
Feng shui is the practice of placement and arrangement of space to achieve harmony with the environment. The five elements of fire, earth, wood, water and metal play an important role in the practice of feng shui in that the placement of these elements effects how energy is manifested.
The restaurant combines elements of water located on the exterior of the dining area, symbolizing life and relaxation, with elements of fire and red accents throughout the dining area to symbolize good luck, laughter and light. The dining area also features symmetrically balanced seating arrangements in earth-tone shades, pendant lights to warm up the interior, an elevated PlayPlace and three plasma televisions. The unique design was created by feng shui grand master Dr. Chi-Jean Liu and Long Beach design firm JBI Industries Inc.
