The gate is in the north, and even the balcony door and window of the living room are in the south. Should we sit south to north or north to south?

Sitting facing south, generally speaking, we are talking about rural houses or villas, whose doors face south, because it is comfortable to be warm in winter and cool in summer. 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. When people face the gate, the direction facing the gate is called azimuth, followed by rear position. Apply the principle of sitting facing south, that is, the door of the house opens in the south direction.

Extended data:

Architectural orientation mainly refers to the facade of the building, or the direction of the main facade of the building. There are two situations here. First, for residential buildings, the main facade refers to the facade where the main room is located; Second, public buildings, the facade or main facade may refer to the most prominent and important facade in the image of the building, or the facade where the main entrances and exits are located.

The so-called house orientation generally refers to the place with the largest lighting surface. Small houses in rural areas of China generally have the largest lighting area at the gate. In urban housing, the main balcony is generally the largest lighting surface of each unit.

It will have a certain impact on the lighting, ventilation, noise and energy saving of buildings. A good orientation will make you warm in winter and cool in summer, while a bad orientation will not only affect the comfort of living, but sometimes even endanger the health of residents because of ventilation and other problems.
