Door–kitchen–WC alignment门灶厕对冲

Explanation

The traditional reasoning: energy rushing from the main door strikes the stove; the stove (Fire, where food is cooked) facing the WC is seen as unclean. For hygiene and privacy, architects avoid these layouts too.

Shifting off the axis, turning a door or adding a partition is often enough to break the line without demolition.

How Home Check uses it

Questions

Does a diagonal view count as alignment?

Usually not. Alignment means two positions on the same straight axis facing each other; a clear diagonal offset is much milder.

What if the stove cannot be moved?

Add a half wall, change which way the WC door opens, or shift the stove slightly so the two no longer face each other directly.
