Frequently asked questions
- Why does 'north-facing' matter?
- In the southern hemisphere, north-facing rooms receive more direct winter sun and less harsh summer sun than south-facing rooms — the opposite of the northern hemisphere — which is why it's a commonly sought orientation for main living areas here.
- Does 'north-facing' mean the whole house faces north?
- Not necessarily — it usually means the main living areas (living room, kitchen, dining) are oriented to face north, even if the block's street frontage faces a different direction. Check each plan's stated orientation for the specific detail.
