Hi all, I am planning to purchase a condo, and while looking for available units, there are different facing i.e. south-east, north-west etc ...
Just want to know if i were to choose north-west, what are the things that i need to take note of? example heat, wind, etc ...

Feng-shui

not interested in feng shui more lie everyday things that i should take note of

What parents told me.. find a house facing the sun rise, but not directly lol.. It brings light into the home, ur wet clothes can dry faster/longer than those house not getting sunlight. Moving towards sunset, u can lepak at balcony without worrying sun shining ur face while having ur tea time..

Yes....better take note of where your rooms are facing, any walls roasting from afternoon till evening will turn the rooms into oven.

icic, but facing north-west, not directly west, would the impact be severe still ?

anyone having houses/rooms facing north-west? plz advice

It also depends on the orientation of your unit like example, corner unit or a unit beside you to help shield a bit from the sun or a unit behind you acting as a shield from the afternoon sun.

Think you better post the building plan. I'm a bit dizzy and confuse with what I'm trying to explain.

I'm also interested to know what if the rooms are facing south west.

xccess, my master bed room and balcony are facing north-west.

Better wait for other sifu to give you guidance, best is to visit that place early in the morning and return again in the evening.

My house is facing north-east... So it gets the indirect morning sun and not the afternoon sun. Preferably avoid facing western side unless there is no other option (due to developer's layout). Thats my opinion

facing east or west is just one thing. the other thing is the view.
Will you choose east facing with highway view or west facing with pool view.

I have a house facing north-north west, and although the late afternoon/evening sun only strikes the walls of the front bedroom obliquely, this was enough to make the room feel very uncomfortable at night. Until I fixed it.

Will be hot like hell for 6~9 months of a year cause the earth tilt 15 deg, you getting as west for 6 months.

It really depends which part of the year..

Generally west will be hot while east will be cool. North-West and South-West alternates half yearly to whom receives the noon-evening sun.

I'm not a sifu on feng shui, but my personally experience is not to have your sleeping room window facing the West, as the heat from the sun will makes your room feel like you are living in a hell.

I just bought a second hand unit. All the room windows is facing west. Any way to reduce the heat? Plan to tint the windows. Does it help ??

Sorry TS, just remembered by previous old place bedroom is facing West, every time after work, the entire bedroom macham oven. Please consider wisely as several bros here already contributed their experience.

I have 2 units facing South and North, nice and cooling.

this kind of direction best

Avoid unit facing west, even north-west or south-west. It's gonna be hot at late afternoon.
