English term

front of house design

English to French Marketing Business/Commerce (general) design
I think the danger with Feng Shui, ironically, is that a complete adherence to its principles could knock other elements of design out of balance. As clients focus solely on front of house design, they could overlook some of the more challenging practical issues faced by hospitality venues such as space, volume, mass, light, colour, form, context, planning, proportion, etc

My take on this is that "front of house design" is an image to describe the overall impression, as opposed to the nitty-gritty, image/style versus actual substance, if you like.

Given that "front of house" has little meaning in the context (my understanding of feng shui being that is it a way of doing interior design, as opposed to the outsides of houses), this is plausible.

Front of house = first impression / overall impression
