some fengshui problem

[myfs_75057]

Hi Cecil,
I have some fengshui problems as follow:
1. My house is a corner unit, front door facing a long corridor. All my neighbour are gardener, there are a lot of plant at the corridor all the way from the lift to my doorstep. In addition there is a metal stand (150cm long), hanging on the corridor wall, quite near my doorstep.Is it good, if not how to cure?
2. All my window seem to face sharp angle,some near some far. How to cure beside using curtain? Closing curtain can be hot and no vertilation.
3. My living and dining room is a long narrow rectangle. I have placed my furniture in a way that when you walk in, the low tv bench is on the left and the window on the right forming a small corridor (size slightly wider than the door). Is it good, due fengshui say door should be open to a wide space.
Very trouble by the above mentioned.
Thanks.

Last month, while doing a house audit, I noticed that my client also stayed at a long corridor.
In addition to this, my client's house is also at a long corridor.
Please refer to the attached illustration file. In this file you can notice that from inside the house, one can see a neighbour's directional sign (with an arrowhead) slicing thru the main door. This is indeed a threat to my client's house.
With such a threat, one has no choice but to use a Ba Gua mirror to neutralise such a threat. Unless, one can speak nicely to the neighbour and hopefully, they take down this threat. Else, one needs to neutralise it.
In public housing, unfortunately, it is difficult to request for the removal or reduction of plants along the corridor(s) unless they really pose a nusiance. Or other valid reasons e.g. if the corridor is too narrow for say a disabled using wheel chair etc...
As mentioned earlier, if one stands inside the main entrance door facing outwards, and if you can see protrusions or objects that slice thru the main door, this is indeed a threat to the home. There is really not much one can do unless one remove or request to (kindly) remove the threat.

You need to fully evaluate whether they are or not threats. Since sometimes, they may seem to be threats but actually not aimed at your house thru the window.
Anyway, one can apply the concept: If one can no longer see it; it no longer becomes a threat. Simple solutions include e.g. using day curtains or blinds.

Sorry, I am not able to fully visualise what you mean. But, for the main door, one has to be careful about leaks. A leak usually occurs if your main entrance opens directly towards an open area e.g. balcony or window. Where Qi flows in and out directly in a straight line.
