A house facing this way
A north-west-facing house is a good house. The tradition prefers some spots for the main door on every side. That is a detail of the plan, not a judgement on the house.
This part of the house
- Sits well here
- Kitchen, Toilet
- The element
- Air
The air corner: movement, guests and things that do not stay. A guest room fits here, and a toilet, and the kitchen when the south-east is not available.
A house that differs from the ideal is still a good house.
How this is worked out
This direction reads as Air. That is where its placements come from: a room goes where its element goes, which is why the scheme holds together rather than being a list to memorise.
We will not tell you to move a wall, a door, a kitchen or a bathroom. Structural changes cost a great deal, are frequently irreversible, and no page that has never seen your home is in a position to recommend one.
