- Planning Aspects of a House
- In the tropics, the long axis of the house should run East–West, with windows facing North and South, to prevent over-heating while still providing light and air.
- Provide wide verandas; make projections over windows for shade; plant shrubs close to the house to reduce glare; place the kitchen near the eating room.
- To make a town attractive: provide parks and gardens for leisure, avoid overcrowding (which can promote epidemics), and leave space for future roads.
