What do you say the house faces?

The orientation of the house refers to the direction of the main entrance based on doors and windows. Since ancient times, sitting facing south is the first choice for most family houses, which is also the most common architectural orientation criterion so far. If the house or property at home has been finalized, then we should consider choosing a south-facing apartment. How to judge the orientation of the house? Generally speaking, when people face the door, the orientation facing the door is called orientation, and the back is called back position. Applying the principle of sitting facing south, the door of the house is open in the south direction.

But the present housing environment and conditions are very different from those in ancient times. Modern houses are mostly east-west, and there is little real dialogue between the north and the south, so it is not suitable to determine the orientation of the house by opening the door. So there is a new orientation standard, which is to look at the lighting surface of the room. Generally speaking, if the lighting surface of a room is located in the south, then no matter where the door is opened, it is said that the house faces south. If you are sitting, locate it according to the central axis of the building. Generally, the vertical direction of the back wall of a house is sitting posture. The other end is directional. This is the general way to look at the direction of the house.
