“The success of good product design allows inhabitants an experience 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".

The Difference:
ZenArchitecture vs. Conventional
Traditionally, in conventional architecture, we think of defining clients needs as a verbal exchange exercise. Yet, we may miss important factors in preparation for the program's development making an esential link for success. The goal to identify what people really want from their environment is done expansively through a quieter dialogue that allows verbal exchange to include something much deeper. This makes possible for the energy flow from the outside world with tune to the inside human experience. When this occurs, harmony flows in the living space so the 5 senses can respond positively with the outer environment. This new process that identifies and bridges this opulent connection is referred to as "Zenergy." Utilizing these unique interactive means allows total completion to design integration, optimally blending natural states that offer the birth of personal atmospheres far superior to the results of any other architectural process.

Revealing Needs
The first step in synergizing humans with their environments is a process known as "Applied Kinesiology." This is a quick and easy method of "muscle testing," a procedure that allows the body to "speak" its natural intelligence to it's surroundings. The cognitive mapping of our inner body stores information. All of our sensory influences, such as visual, tactile, and chemical, are measured differently by every human, which means that any one variable will impact each person in a unique way. Within the mechanism of our musculo-skeletal and nervous systems the body conveys immediate feedback reflecting this information. By examining this feedback, which can be generated through simple procedures, the ZenArchitect can identify compatibilities and incompatibilities from a list of design program options. In this way the respondents themselves reveal their own individual insights in determining the best choices for design in regards to materials, style, 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
Energy Kinesiology is the science dealing with the interrelationship of the physiological processes and the anatomy of the human body with respect to movement and environment. In ZenArchitecture the application of Energy Kinesiology reveals information closer to our very nature, and perpetuates the masculine "yang" and the feminine "yin" balance of energy. ZenArchitecture is an intuitive science which artfully splashes geometric shapes, colors and textures before ones very 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 between art, space, and architecture, bridging all elements organically together and connecting energy flow with relationships to environment. Lastly, Wabi Sabi (a philosophy which is cousin to Zen), derived from the Ancient Eastern Aesthetics system, amplifies the simple. Yet as a clean medium, it ignites the soul boundlessly, realizing one's transcending energy with beauty. These in-depth aesthetic systems, all integral parts of ZenArchitecture, pleasantly unite in inviting all design elements in concert..

Vitalization - The Goal of Design
Vitalization is the process of restoring and building the positive energies in one's physical, physiological, emotional and spiritual self. It is an essential element in regards to the design in one's living and working spaces. When the area in which one dwells is a sanctuary, the holistic design integrates as a healing medium that promotes the energy level of the living environment, thus creating a place which stimulates, energizes, and fulfills the individual, yet grounds them 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 as a unified force, enabling people to tap their truest spirit of 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 dreams!.
