Dear Susan,
Thanks for the information.
Looking at the house, and since it has not been built yet here are my observations:
1. If you can, I would really recommend not having a center courtyard in the home.
This is because, a three `sided' court-yard which you mentioned in your `revised' proposal is equally not ideal as it creates an imbalance in Sha Qi and bad feng shui.
2. It is very (very) inauspicious to have the toilets at the frontage of the house with maids/laundry area - is very bad feng shui.
3. To relook at the location of the pool as currently it is at the back of the house. If the pool is still at the location, then, it is best to have a wall e.g. or retaining wall/fence at the back of the house to provide a `solid' backing. Alternatively, the area behind the pool should be `landscaped' with `mountain effect'
4. I am sure not sure, how is the weather in your area but if one look carefully, your living area is located at the West (afternoon sun) while your work area is located at South-West (with the pool) at Devil's backdoor.
5. Currently, the plus point is the main gate meandering sideways to the car porch.
6. It is not ideal to have a store also at the frontage.
7. The house also do not look favourable with a main entrance door (at the frontage).
8. Good homes usually allow for qi to meander and the house also seems (from a top down view) to be uneven i.e. missing or some protusions that is not ideal for `luck'.
A more rectangular shaped and compartmentalised (rectangular) shape for each room will be an advantage. Currently, the car porch, and the narrow interior covered walkway, don't look good.
I hope you don't mind my comments but honestly, I really do not like the entire layout plan.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
