Dear Yew-Meng,

Thank you for the sketch of your layout plan.

I have marked the centrepoint of the house.

The attached illustration will also show that you should take the compass reading from point A to B.

Please refer to the above. You should be able to find the direction of the main entrance based on the attachment.

From your sketch, it looks like your main door is at the North.

It is a serious flaw if the house has its main door facing a hill.

Ideally, the main door should be a the frontage or many of the windows for the frontage are located here. Sometimes, the main door can be at either side i.e. East or West.

If one purposely built the frontage facing a hill (especially if the back has a hill) this spells calamity for the owners. And death can occur.

Ideally, in your layout plan, although the toilet has one of it's side sharing an external wall, it would be advantages if they are side by side and preferably, at a corner of the house closer to the back.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
