Critics argue that the "Entertainment Hook-Up" is turning homes into passive consumption caves. But advocates see it as performative architecture. In an era where we consume "property porn" (videos of luxury homes) on Instagram Reels, the home itself must look good within a screen.

"The line has blurred," notes Lisa Huang, a Singapore-based feng shui consultant now specializing in "Digital Flow." "We used to worry about the flow of qi.
