“The success of good product design allows inhabitants an experience of rising profusion of ‘Chi’ or vital breath,” says Salat whose inspiration comes from his own loving zenergy blend of “Implied Feng Shui,” “Wabi Sabi” and “Applied Energy Kinesiology." If our home or work is our sacred place, then living with these spaces is literally our sanctuary". - OC Home and Garden Magazine

The Difference:  ZenArchitects vs. Conventional
Lets start by conversing with our inner human blueprint for living design rather from conventional needs. In working with our clients, traditional verbal exchange may miss important factors in preparation for the program's development that are an essential link for design. To identifying what people really want from their environment can be surprisingly quieter and more expansive--one that allows verbal exchange interactively to include something much deeper than just words. A technique of synergizing "Humans with Environment” as a "Life-energy Design with Human Living" successfully fuses energy with emotion, thus identify our harmonious relation within living spaces. This energy flow harmoniously occurs in the living spaces when the five senses are synchronize positively to the outer environment. This new design process that identifies and uses this rich connection is referred to as "Zenergy". Utilizing this unique interactive style gives the architect total understanding of the client’s stated and unstated-but-sensed needs. This process allows a complete design integration, optimally blending natural states into spaces that offer the birth of personal atmospheres and results far superior to those of any other architectural process.

Revealing Needs
The first step to awaken and synergize humans with their environments is a process known as "Applied Kinesiology” (Syncro-Kinesthetic Design method) to ascertain your energy sensory map. This is a quick and easy procedure of allowing the body to "speak" its natural intelligence of its surroundings. This cognitive mapping of our inner body stores information. All sensory stimuli— visual, tactile, auditory and chemical—are measured differently by every human, which means that any single stimulus will impact each person in a unique way. Within the mechanisms of our musculoskeletal and nervous systems the body gives immediate feedback reflecting this information. By examining this feedback, which can be generated through simple procedures, our services can identify compatibilities and incompatibilities from a list of design program options. In this way the respondents themselves give their own individual insights in determining the best choices for design in regard to materials, styles, and specific products. The results of this real-time empirical processing allow one to ascertain the most effective design, promoting greater health and vitality in the home or work place.

Defining Beauty to Fulfill Aesthetic Desires
Conversing energy into design is applied through Energy Kinesiology as a sensory to defining beauty and the interrelationship of the inner physiological with outer respect to environment. In ZenArchitect the application of Energy Kinesiology reveals information closer to our essential nature, and perpetuates the masculine "yang" and the feminine "yin" balance of energy. ZenArchitect is an intuitive design science that artfully splashes geometric shapes, colors and textures before one’s eyes. Working intimately in this way with clients orchestrates a palatable hierarchy of information, from which one can ascertain the most effective design for aesthetic appeal. In addition to interactive testing methods, intuitive Feng Shui is introduced, streaming the placement of art, space, and architecture, bringing all elements together organically in an energy flow with the environment. Lastly, Wabi Sabi, a philosophical cousin of Zen, derived from ancient Eastern aesthetics, amplifies the simple. A “clean” medium, it expands the soul boundlessly, clothing one's transcending energy with beauty. These in-depth aesthetic systems, all integral parts of zen architecture, pleasantly unit all design elements in concert.

Vitalization - The Goal of Design
Vitalization is the process of restoring and building the positive energies of one's physical, physiological, emotional and natural self. It is an essential element in regard to the design in one's living and working spaces. When the area in which one dwells is a sanctuary, the holistic design integrates, becoming a healing medium that promotes the energy level of the living beings in the environment, thus creating a place that stimulates, energizes, and fulfills the individual, yet grounds him/her in peacefulness. From the very beginning of each project, be it a remodel, a dream home, or a commercial setting, our service unites clients and designer into a unified force, tapping their truest energy flow to influence the design. ZenArchitecture blends a balance of Modern Contemporary Minimalism with Ancient Aesthetic principles. Combining serene landscaping with simple sculptural forms and treasured decor, the ZenArchitect weaves moods and expressions, spatially evolving 3D emotions into a richer and deeper environmental experience. In this way, the ZenArchitect guides the dreamer to merge with the dreams!
