Nature inspires life, always has, and forever will. And the same is true for various aspects of human life including construction and real estate. Wood, fire, earth, metal, and water make up the five elements of nature and each represents different aspects of nature. The goal is to seek to establish harmonies between these elements so that our building maintains a healthy, positive, and constant flow of energy. Let us explore each element and its significance in real estate and construction.
Wood
What makes wood what it is? It is strong, flexible, lively, natural, and a symbol of lifelong growth for it grows lifelong in nature as the tree. We extensively use wood in construction in the form of all the furniture you see around your home and workplace. It brings a classy and welcoming vibe and adds to the overall looks of a property. Whether it’s wooden floors, ceilings, or furniture, they all bring a touch of natural charm and create a harmonious atmosphere in any space.
Fire
Fire transforms. It changes the shape, form, and state of things it comes in contact with. It melts, cleanses, vaporizes, and changes the properties of things it heats. It also represents the passion with its intensity and vitality with its inherent energy. It’s visible all around us in our houses and workplace in the form of lighting, heating, electrical and electronic systems. All of them generate and work with heat.
Well-placed Lighting can make a place attractive, visible, inviting, sophisticated, and swanky. In colder locations, fireplaces serve as a mini meeting point you share your plans, experiences, and ideas at. Think of all your favorite foods; can you have them without the heating system installed in your modular kitchen? The answer I am sure is a resounding yes.
Earth
What does come to your mind when you think of the earth? Nourishment, Stability, and Strength; right..? Earth gives grounding to your building making it stable. Earth is represented in the building materials we use such as sand, clay, cement, bricks, stones, and so on. And all of these provide strength. Speaking of nourishment, the earth nourishes you with water and food that is found on or under it.
You can bring earthy vibes into your living space by adding landscaping, gardens, and green spaces to it. This creates a nice connection between man-made structures and the natural world giving our existence balance and harmony.
Metal
Metal is all about strength, durability, and efficiency. We see it all around in real estate and construction in the form of frameworks, reinforcements, and appliances. Metal makes buildings last longer and keeps them safe. When metal is used in architecture, it gives a modern and stylish look to a property, making it look more sophisticated.”
Water
Water represents movement, life, grace, abundance, and calmness. It also boasts of cleansing and moderation properties keeping our household fresh, clean, green, and harmonious.
No construction can happen sans water. Water is what turns a powder called cement into a rock-like strong concrete. We see water in real estate in utilities such as Kitchen and Washroom; and as decoration in the form of fountains, pools, or ponds.
These water features make a property more beautiful and create a peaceful environment. Including water elements in your property brings a sense of harmony and serenity to the space, promoting well-being and relaxation
Parting Thought
Every construction has these 5 elements of nature. However, the art is to balance these elements to get the best of everything. Having one too much or another too less creates disharmony and disorder in the lives of occupants. Please avoid this!
On the other hand, having a fine balance between the existence of these 5 elements impact your physical and emotional well-being, promotes sustainable practices, and improves the overall quality of life. In case your home or workplace lacks balance, you can develop and decorate the property by adding elements that are less than required.
