Using the SO Feng Shui Design Second Nature® model, Simone created the Feng Shui Wellness Design guidelines for the Raffles 'Design for Harmony' within the 'Emotional Wellbeing' program, which launched in October 2020. These guidelines are now mandatory for all new Raffles hotels, and the principles of the guidelines are being applied to existing Raffles hotels.

Based on the Feng Shui principles Yin & Yang, the Five Elements of Feng Shui and the Qi energy flow, the guidelines included recommendations on purposeful choices of materials, FF&E, lighting, signage, technology, artwork, layouts and colours. The guidelines addressed the effects of the built environment and how it impacts human health and well-being through the senses of sight, sound, smell, touch, familiarity, comfort and safety. Completing this all-around approach to a total wellness concept are the guidelines on electric radiation, magnetic fields, radiofrequency waves and noise levels.

The Feng Shui Wellness Design guidelines covered general rules applicable to all hotel spaces and areas and specific rules for Raffles Iconic spaces. Second Nature® key benefits and impact ratings, and explanatory imagery have yielded a very practical handbook for the design department and individual hotel management alike.

Simone continues ongoing consultancy partnership with the Raffles Design department.
