Dear Master Lee,
I read in your site that its best to have the toilet share an external wall. However, I am looking at a 2-storey house whereby the toilets on the 2nd floor are quite near to the center of the house.
Also, I am not sure whether the walls can be considered to be external. What I mean is that the wall is actually still overlooking the balcony. Is such an arrangement bad?
Finally, how do we determine the facing of a toilet? Is it the direction of the toilet door?

Thank You very Much,
Lionel

Dear Lionel,

Seems like it is ok. As the toilet is not in the middle but rather close to it.

At the ground floor, it is best that the toilet is not located at the frontage of a home. On the second storey, it is preferred that the toilet is not above the main entrance door.

Generally, what you had described is pretty common for quite alot of homes and still acceptable.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
