Townhouses are inherently framed in a tubular shape, due to many different reasons (house direction according to age, land condition, surrounding landscape architecture) which may be due to the initial layout if not paying attention or forcing the layout. Improper placement of the door system will affect the air distribution in the house, causing lack of light and poor ventilation.

A quite common case often encountered in townhouses today is the same front of the townhouse, if the doors are opened throughout the floors identically, there will be a lack of yin and yang harmony, because the higher you go, the more sunlight and wind will come in and out. The house will be different from the lower floors hidden by trees or neighboring buildings. Therefore, it is necessary to base on the actual space to distribute doors.

The doors in the house should not be straight. At the same time, spaces that need quietness and relaxation such as bedrooms and offices must pay attention to avoid opening doors into positive areas that directly impact the user. The positive area is an area that moves frequently, so opening many doors means increasing many paths, making it difficult to arrange furniture. Transitional spaces such as the top of the stairs, room entrances, hallways… should not be opened too much or too wide because it will cause ventilation and lack of security.

When distributing doors, it is necessary to pay attention to the auspicious nature of the interior space. For example, if a bedroom has a door leading to a balcony, it should be placed at the foot of the bed. If the bathroom door opens directly to the head of the bed or opens to the dining table, it will have a negative impact on meals and sleep. The door of the worship room that leads directly to the drying yard or laundry area is both disrespectful and inappropriate for use.

If the house has three or more sets of doors in a row, a vertical air intake will form, causing dusty drafts and visibility from the outside to the inside, causing an imbalance of yin and yang (because of the moving area). positive lies on one side while the remaining area is purely negative).

If the house has a large yard, the outside gate and main door should avoid being in line with each other, but should be arranged at an offset. Or if you cannot change it, you should place potted plants and create a winding path to reduce the direct (direct) airflow.

Two houses with doors facing each other (opposite doors) are also a form of ventilation and lack of privacy. If it is not possible to reverse the door, you should use a screen (made of wood, a shelf or even a potted plant) as an effective shielding solution. You should not use large pieces of glass or bagua mirrors mounted on the top of the door or on the wall outside the house because they do not have the “anti-energy” effect as many people think, but on the contrary, they have many opposing qualities. Using trees, creating reasonable setbacks, having awnings… are still the most reasonable measures to reduce direct conflict with the door.

The kitchen door should not be opened directly to the mouth of the oven, or in other words, people entering the kitchen should not immediately see the stove, because the direct movement will bring wind and dust straight into the fire door, easily causing a fire or explosion, and the cook can easily I was startled because I couldn’t see what was behind me.

When the house has many doors but there is only one common gate on the outside, it is still good, as long as the gate and door are arranged according to the funnel-shaped principle (wide front door, narrow back door) to attract air sources into the house. When the house has two or more street sides and must open all doors for business, the main door still needs to be emphasized. Side doors can be reduced in size and decorative objects can be used to disperse and reduce the intensity of side air flows leading into the house.

Every townhouse always needs parking in front, so it is necessary to build an extra layer of door, possibly in the form of a low fence on the outside, with a large door on the inside. If there is a yard, build a fence with a discreet gate outside so that the main door inside can be opened regularly. This type of buffer space helps increase good air and reduce negative impacts brought in by outside traffic.

The gold-plated tiger carries the essence of Metal and brings great auspiciousness. It is a symbol of fame, fortune and power. Carrying the element Metal is auspicious and brings good luck in terms of career, fortune, and studying for exams. Can also be used as protection when the house is in a forbidden place or is ruled by an evil star.
Use the North, Northwest, and West directions to increase auspicious energy for good stars in these directions or use it to protect you when facing negative directions.
