Whether I orient my house towards a lake or, in the negative sense, orient it away from something, both are possible.
You are right there; but if this orientation means that the house is simply positioned incorrectly in terms of desired use, cardinal direction, and so on, then neither the lake nor the invisible power house benefits me. The lake applies to us, so it is a good point on your part. At some point, we realized that we ultimately cannot subordinate everything to a lake view and thereby lose living quality elsewhere. For us, it was clear that the living spaces should be optimally oriented within the framework of the development plan, and only then does a lake view option come into play. In one area, for example, we will be looking at a stable building, which stands in the middle of nature but next to our property. To some extent, we will see it (eventually no longer perceive it as such), and maybe we will put a garden shed there anyway or plant something to at least partially hide it. However, we would never rotate the house or arrange the rooms in such a way that we wouldn’t see it. Honestly, I believe that the eye will get used to it and will soon no longer perceive it as so drastic because it will soon go out of one’s own focus. However, an awkward floor plan would torment me for a lifetime. Ergo: Neither a lake view nor a power house view could ever make me orient my house in a way that the floor plan or important functions would be lost to me.
