We are in the process of buying a newly built house which seems to have a perfect enviornment. At first, I thought the house
was perfect too. But in trying to do Feng Shui
on it, I have encountered these problems;
The Front door (facing East) opens into a
living room which juts out from the main
body of the house. If you only measure the
living room, it is slightly under 1/2 the
length on the house. If you add the front
porch with the front door in it, the size of
this "addition" becomes larger than 1/2 of
the house. Is this an addition (facing the
North), or is it part of the house with corners missing??
Also, the long wall of the house faces South,
and the lower ground. This would be good except that there is very little ground to both the South and the North of the house as
it is in a "housing development", and so there
are houses in both directions. The front door
faces East, and the street. The house is
pretty much centered on the lot it is on, but
behind the house (West), beyond the back fence, the land slopes down to a beautiful
park. There is a small stream further past the park, running East to West.
The East (front door) side of the house does
face the proper higher ground which gently
wraps around the North side of the lot, and down the West side, like an arm chair.

Dear Theresa,
It would be good if you can provide a `sketch' and send as an attachment to this forum for me to take a look at it.

As mentioned, it would be best to provide a sketch (in proportion) as it is difficult for me to comment on the above.

Apologies.. I am not too clear on this.

East to West.

Determining the frontage of the house is important here. Some houses, may have the frontage facing the `back' of the house.
Usually, if this is the back of the house, it is best to have a wall or fence (bushes) to protect the back of the home.

It would be good to have the house protected on each side and particularly advantages if it can be like a horseshoe effect.
Warmest Regards,
