Feng Shui & Neuroarchitecture
WHAT IF YOUR ENVIRONMENT COULD WORK IN YOUR FAVOUR?
Some spaces simply make us feel good. The question is: why?
FENG SHUI
The spaces where we live and work are much more than the backdrops to our daily lives. They are environments that influence how we feel, rest, think and connect with others. That is why they deserve to be part of the way we care for ourselves, both physically and mentally.
Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice of observing and arranging environments, taking into account orientation, shapes, circulation and the relationships between the different elements within a space.
At ARQAMA, we integrate this approach with Architecture, Interior Architecture and Design, exploring the relationship between space, human behaviour and wellbeing. Research into the built environment helps us understand how factors such as light, colour, materials, acoustics and spatial organisation can influence our perception, comfort and everyday experiences.
We believe that caring for our spaces also means caring for the people who inhabit them. A home can be a sanctuary where we rest, restore our energy and regain a sense of balance. A workspace can support comfort, concentration and more positive relationships.
Our purpose is to create environments that go beyond aesthetics and functionality: spaces that embrace us, respond to the needs of those who use them and contribute to a better quality of life.
Because wellbeing begins, too, in the places where we live. And in the spaces that help us take care of ourselves.
NEUROARCHITECTURE
Neuroarchitecture draws on our understanding of the relationship between the built environment and our experience of the spaces we inhabit. It considers factors such as lighting, acoustics, materials, colours, nature and spatial layout.
At ARQAMA, we bring together Feng Shui, Neuroarchitecture and Interior Architecture to explore the relationship between the environment, people and their everyday experiences. We consider spatial layout, lighting, acoustics, materials and other relevant environmental factors to create spaces that are more comfortable and functional, whether in our homes or in workplaces designed to meet the needs of teams and the objectives of organisations.

Feng Shui for Home
THE HOUSE AS A REFLECTION OF LIFE.
Our home accompanies us through the different stages of life. It is where we rest, connect with others, restore our energy, create, work and build memories. Through Feng Shui, we explore the relationship between your home, the people who live in it and what you want it to support.

Every consultation is tailored to the individual, taking into account their circumstances, the layout of the property and the stage of life they are experiencing.
The aim is not to turn your home into a ‘Feng Shui home’. It is to understand the environment around you and discover how it can become more aligned with who you are and the life you want to lead.
YOUR HOME.
YOUR LIFE.
YOUR ENVIRONMENT.
Feng Shui for Business
WHEN SPACE MEETS PEOPLE.
A workplace is much more than a place where work gets done. It is an environment where people spend a significant part of their lives — thinking, creating, communicating, making decisions and collaborating.
The way a space is designed can influence how we feel, concentrate, interact and experience our working day. Light, acoustics, materials, air quality, spatial organisation and our connection with nature all contribute to the experience of the environments in which we work.
At ARQAMA, we bring together Feng Shui, Architecture and Interior Architecture to explore the relationship between space, people and wellbeing, seeking to understand how working environments can better respond to human needs and the objectives of each organisation.

From a Feng Shui assessment of a space to a broader consideration of its layout, functionality and environmental quality, each approach is tailored to the company, its people and its objectives.
Because the way we design workplaces also matters in how people experience them.
