Well in a one-entry courtyard house in Sanmantou, Luoyang. Kitchen. Where are the toilets?

The name Luoyang Sanmantou is not one I've heard of, but I'm guessing it belongs to the same structural style as the northern courtyard. So I'm going to follow the general direction. If there are any inaccuracies, please bear with me.

Old-timers call the standard courtyard "kanjia xunmen". The kitchen should be placed on the east side of the courtyard, the kitchen enshrines the king of the stove, meaning that at the beginning of the day, the king of the stove in the domination of the family's food and drink, so there is a commander of the East Kitchen said.

And the toilet words are generally in the southwest corner, there are instructions. Southwest of that location to take the East Green Dragon West White Tiger said, so to build toilets, with the dirt to the town of White Tiger.

As for the water well ...... this has not really seen specifically from the relevant books. It is reasonable to say that the location of the water well depends on whether or not there is water underground, will not be planned in accordance with feng shui, or else in some good feng shui location to dig half a day without water, will not not give power? On the relevant information I have read, it seems that water wells are randomly drilled, usually in the compound, some in the central canal, some off the east or west wing. It seems that there is no fixed location, but it is certain that the water well should be drilled in the courtyard.
