This is a concept house plan for “Bagua House” by MM Stratton. (3D rendering by Mark Adams of Vegas Today and Tomorrow.) It is designed to be a residence, work space with recording studio, personal spa space, community event space, food-producing formal gardens and guest suites all within the ideal Feng Shui master plan.
“The bagua (Chinese: 八卦; literally “eight symbols”) are eight trigrams used in Taoist cosmology to represent the fundamental principles of reality, seen as a range of eight interrelated concepts. Each consists of three lines, each line either “broken” or “unbroken,” representing yin or yang, respectively. Due to their tripartite structure, they are often referred to as “trigrams” in English.”
The main spaces are designed to be single story, but the main house also includes a subterranean basement and a rooftop garden. The principle living space is oriented around a central open air atrium.
The plan is designed to sit on a square flat acre of land, it includes 4 connected pavillion-style buildings with covered causeways between them. Each pavilion is 50′ x 50′. (Light grey lines indicate 10 foot increments.) Designed to be off-grid with rain cache and vertical wind turbine at the back of the property.
