Feng shui

Feng shui didn’t seem to help sell some apartments in Alexandria (although this suburb is known as oversupplied):

“In Alexandria, compliance with the Chinese tradition of feng shui did not ensure success for a development on Botany Road during the week, with only two of the 14 units being auctioned selling under the hammer.”

Here’s a look at one of the apartments (which is pretty cheap, considering the size and the price- new 1-bed apartments in any decent suburb in sydney are usually starting off at around $375k)

Here’s some other ideas for those who want to add the latest technological thing:

“smart-home technology at The Cove penthouse. Among the high-tech gizmos, doors open and close using retina scans, Japanese-designed toilets, costing $14,000 each, determine whether a man or a woman is approaching, and raise or lower the seat accordingly. There are sensors in the master bedroom that detect when someone is getting out of bed at night, automatically bringing up floor lighting on that side of the bed, leading to the toilet. There’s even an iPaq hand-held computer that ensures the bath will never overflow.”
