No. That is exactly the problem. The right option (MP4) was put aside for 4 months but now it is the only option possible. MP3 was chosen ! Well, thanks for your recommendation ! Really a great help. Hadn?t expected such a question to be answered in such a short time !! Cheers. Alex

these were the other options, but the client insisted to follow MP 3 ! well, ...

Dear Cecil Lee, thanks for the frank and clear advice. I feel like being thrown back on a schoolbench ! FLUNKED ! That is cross-cultural educational pain I have to go through. Tough luck. But if it is so obvious, why didn?t they tell me months before ??? I guess round edges could change a bit. But for now I am at least relieved that it is not just an excuse to get out of it. There were designs in Oct last year that led to the decision. I?ll post a few of them. So even if houses are far from each other, porcupines will get them , hugh ? Thanks ! Alex

Dear Forum I have designed a project in Northeast China for Townhouses and Residential Villas as the second phase of an already existing compound development. In order to break to usual pattern of placing houses next to each other and form the well known monotonous rows with no relation to trees, landscape places and view connections I decided to put a cluster of houses with floating greenery in between them. The topography falls from south to north (unfortunately) and the clubhouse in the northeast corner is already built. The lake sits at the lowest point of topography and forms a special area for the high-class villas. After confirming and supporting this layout for the whole planning phase, the client has no had some discussions with the marketing company and an issue came up that might totally change the whole design. It is said that the changing cluster of the houses forms sharp edges that point at each other and thus a major "Feng Shui" problem arises. Nobody could really explain what the problem is and I suspect that is just their insecurity about how to proceed with the project. So I am looking for advice to investigate what really counts into the Feng Shui area and how this issue can be dealt with. Please find the Masterplan attached.
