I came across this interesting project while researching more about the concepts of vernacular design. It was designed by MOS Architects of Ontario, Canada. This design caught my eye because it uses the concept of blending and harmonizing its structure with the environment which I had discussed earlier in my proposal. It goes into furthur detail on the discussion that I have linked. If you're interested take a quick peek at how they made this house it is really quite fascinating!http://www.archdaily.com/10842/floating-house-mos/

The MOS project is very interesting!
Whenever I hear vernacular design I always think of one of my professors at Dalhousie, Bryan MacKay-Lyons (http://www.mlsarchitects.ca/). He was all about the vernacular. You may not be able to find too much about his work other than a lot of pretty pictures, but you may be able to find some scholarly work by one of his professors, Charles Moore.
Hey Jobina,
Even though sometimes the internet is useful for starting research, your topic looks to be more specific then the general overview the internet gives you. In which case, I think it would be cool if you consulted a Feng Shui expert and/or engineer and then compare the two. It would be a wicked experience. But in the mean time I was able to find a few sites, hope these help!

Thrive: Sun Rivers Resort Community Autumn 2009 has an article on how Sun Rivers is based on Feng Shui techniques and concepts. This may give you a few ideas or at least give you something to refer back to during your research.
Hey Kari, Thanks for the sites they're really informing. The ideas from the Sun Rivers Resort was a great help to my research! Thanks
