one of NZ’s “power couples”. Tis famous couple led high-profile, public lives in New Zealand, being CEO and Partner of top NZ firms, and both were directors in several public and private boards. On the night of the dinner,

26 FENGSHUIWORLD | JUNE 2014
bout 10 years ago while I was living in New Zealand, my husband Patrick and I were invited to dinner by
lovely and inevitably our conversation moved from politics and art and eventually to the purpose of why they invited us! Andrea* had read my aunt’s
Complete Illustrated Guide to Feng Shui, which Patrick and I gave her as a gift at a corporate dinner 4 years ago! She had been yearning to give their very dated four-storey villa mansion a badly needed upgrade, and wanted some advice to ensure it would harmonize well with good feng shui principles! She was very excited and keen to get started, so we met on the
very next day to go through her house plans!
Here’s what she had in mind: a) Mark and Andrea have four grown children and two of them were about to get married! Their spouses were moving in with them and to cater to their growing family, she needed a larger kitchen, a bigger dining area and more entertainment space to accommodate larger family gatherings. She was determined to tear down their very tired “country- style” kitchen and replace it with a modern “open plan” granite kitchen equipped with a breakfast bar!
b) Mark and Andrea loved holding private parties as they were committee members of some of
the most
prestigious clubs in New Zealand! Andrea wanted her new layout to incorporate good feng shui as well as accommodate groups of 16-30 people comfortably, while showcasing her stunning harbour views, something her old layout did not do very well!
c) Mark and Andrea had always dreamt of a landscaped waterfall and pond for their garden but knew from reading my aunt’s book that it had to be carefully placed or could lead to a serious reversal of fortune. She wanted some advice on whether it would be OK to place it in front of her entrance.
