Dear W,

Overall, if all the houses are offset, then there is perhaps not much choice i.e. you can select any of the units.

Here, the ruleset " Once it cannot be seen it no longer becomes a threat' can apply. For example, a solution is to install day curtain to screen the window from this sharp edge.

If your house has not been built yet, it would be advantages to have the pointed roof configuration e.g.
^
/ \
/ \
| |

If you can, use the frontage with the `pointed' roof at the frontage (as a protection) for the house as opposed to the roof sideways.

In addition, check to see if the house does not have a slop at the back. Where possible, the lot should be level on all sides (if possible). And avoid, drainage cutting or seem to bend inwards towards the lot. Consideration of the drainage drains is equally critcial as it can affect the auspicious or make the plot of land and house inauspicous.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
