Hi Master Peter,
Hope you are doing well. I have a question.
My condo door directly facing an elevator (lift). I often feel uncomfortable not sure what is the reason. Is this bad? What is the remedy?
Thank you in advance.

In Feng Shui, if your main door faces a lift (elevator) directly, it's generally considered unfavorable — though the severity depends on distance, layout, and energy flow.
Here's a breakdown
You must understand why it’s considered bad Feng Shui.
1. First, with Rushing Qi (energy), the lift opens and closes frequently, causing inconsistent and fast-moving Qi to rush toward your main door, which can create instability in health, wealth, and relationships.
2. Then the energy disruption. The lift shaft is a void or "yin" structure that can pull energy away from your home. When it faces your door, it can symbolically "suck out" good fortune.
3. From a practical standpoint, people exiting the lift face your door directly, which may lead to loss of privacy or increased stress.
It’s not as severe as a staircase directly facing the door or a T-junction, but still considered a minor to moderate Feng Shui flaw, especially
1. When the lift is very close to your door
2. Your apartment is small or enclosed corridor
3. There's no buffer or shielding in between
Here is what you can do.
1. Place a plant or screen inside your door to slow down rushing Qi.
2. Use a convex Ba Gua mirror (八卦镜) above your door to reflect disruptive energy — use cautiously and with proper intention
3. Install a thicker or double-layered door curtain inside to block external energy
4. Use a welcome mat with grounding energy (earth tones or lucky symbols)
5. Ensure your hallway lighting is soft and not harsh, to calm the Qi
Hope this can help.
Warmest regards
