San Francisco architectural firm SpaceFlavor has gone zen for their latest project, a prefab mobile living space that’s designed to correspond with certain principles of  feng shui.

Commissioned by Bay Area feng shui expert, Liu Ming, the eight-foot plywood cube has room to accommodate an office, a bed, storage and a meditation space. The modular design allows Ming to reconfigure his loft while ensuring that his personal space is kept intact.

The cubic form conceal two sliding doors/walls, translucent roller shades, and casters that allow Ming to orient the cube in relation to the Chinese lunar calendar.
