East-Facing vs West-Facing Flat: Which Direction Wins?
Mention a flat to a Hyderabad family and within thirty seconds someone will ask: "Which direction does it face?"
Is an east-facing flat really that much better? Is a west-facing one a compromise? Let's separate tradition from practicality.
The case for east-facing
East is where the sun rises, bringing gentle morning light and cooler afternoons as strongest heat falls on the opposite side.
The case for west-facing
West-facing flats work exceptionally well when interior layout follows good Vastu principles for kitchen, bedroom and puja placement.
