How to determine the orientation of rural self-built houses

Choosing a good orientation is good for home life, so how to determine the orientation of rural self-built houses?

The main orientation of the house is slightly different from each space, so the house will be divided into two parts.

First, the main direction of the house

The main direction of the house mentioned by Fusu here refers to the side where the main lighting or gate of the whole house is located.

How to determine the main orientation of the house?

The determination of the main orientation of the house can be determined by integrating the following four points:

1, lighting conditions:

Judging by whether it can be lit or not and whether the lighting surface is good or bad.

When designing, the lighting surface is given priority as the main orientation of the house.

If you can light many surfaces, you need to judge them according to the quality of the lighting surface. Among them, the lighting in the south is the best, followed by the east, the west is the west sun, and the lighting in the north is relatively poor (general museums and other buildings give priority to the northern lighting).

2. Surrounding buildings:

Observe the surrounding buildings and the distance between the buildings and the homestead, and observe whether the buildings will affect the opening of the door and block the lighting.

3. Surrounding roads:

In order to get in and out conveniently, sometimes the main direction of the house will choose the side near the road.

4, feng shui taboo situation

Some people believe in geomantic omen, and will give priority to the taboo of geomantic omen, and use geomantic omen to decide the direction of their owners.

Second, spatial positioning.

The orientation of each space generally refers to the side of the functional space such as bedroom and living room where windows are opened for lighting.

To determine the direction of each space, you usually need to consider the following factors:

1, lighting surface:

Whether lighting can be done or not, the quality of lighting surface affects the direction of each space.

Most self-built houses in rural areas are lighted on two or three sides. At this time, we will give priority to the lighting of the main space, and then consider the lighting of the secondary space.

When lighting on both sides, the main space such as bedroom and living room should be placed on the side with good lighting as far as possible, and the secondary space such as kitchen and stairwell can be placed on the side with poor lighting to get a more reasonable layout.

When lighting on three sides, the room position should be arranged reasonably according to the orientation.
