Hi guys, my wife and I bought 2 lots of land in Ranau Sabah and we plan to build a 2 storey bungalow, I would like to ask experts and experience's opinion on facing which side is the best. The 2 arrows pointing is the said plot, and the compass showing North is where the direction of Mount Kinabalu is located, and naturally, we want to be able to have the view of the mountain. If we were to take the orientation of sun rises and sun sets so that our house wont be steaming hot and also to have mountain view, facing which side will be the best?

Mountain View.
Higher resell value.
As for the hot sun, can opt to tint the windows and better wall insulation against the heat.

It doesnt work for detached property since all sides are exposed. The design and construction of the building should focus on heat reduction and ventilation.
