Vastu guides › North-West-facing house
The north-west is the air zone, linked with movement and change. An entrance here is generally fine for most homes.
The facing is the direction you look at when standing inside the main door looking out. On a floor plan, use the north arrow.
These positions apply to every facing; a good layout can make up for a less favoured entrance.

Acceptable. Fine for most homes; linked with movement and change. The north-west is the air zone, linked with movement and change. An entrance here is generally fine for most homes.
The position of the kitchen, master bedroom, toilets and the centre of the home usually matters more than the facing alone. Check the whole layout before deciding.
