Apart from the connection of the house with the nature surrounding it, there is another connection, which is far more significant, and that is the connection of the house with the divine holiness that revolves around the world.

Compared to conventional architecture, where the nature around the house is not very important, in alternative architecture, the construction of the house is initially examined according to the nature around it.

To better understand the correct division of the interior rooms - the living room, kitchen, master bedroom and children's room, four concepts must be added to the picture of the house divided according to the 'Moving Center' and the four winds, which are the main features of each of the four natural elements (water, fire, air and earth). Cold, hot, humid and dry.

According to conventional architecture, there is no special definition for the location of the front door, but it varies according to convenience considerations, such as proximity to a main road and the likes. According to the holistic view of the 'Light in the Home' program, the entrance to the house is not just another minor detail in the general construction, but an essential matter in the design of the house: the question of where to place the front door is, in fact, also the question of where to place the house. Between the location of the façade and the division of the interior rooms of the house.

The optimal house is first located parallel to the winds of the world: one wall facing east, another wall facing south, one facing west and one facing north. This initial location is of great importance because the North, South, East and West are not merely directional. They have different energies, which affect the location of the rooms inside the house. Each side of the winds of the world, has an independent character, and each corner of the house also has a different character. Therefore, we will place every wall and every corner of the house so that it will be oriented to the wind of the world that most suits it.

The way to place the house in your plot is such - when the entrance is from the east, the main garden is on the west, and on the north side, leave a small outside area, there is reference to the interior plan of the house, and privacy is maintained even when you are in your 'Private spot in Gan Eden'.

The aspiration that leads us in the design of the house is that all the rooms of the house will receive the sun rays to the maximum. If so, the ideal painting would have been, if the house had been built on an axis, and every time we had moved between the different rooms, the whole house would have rotated, and the rotation would have stopped while the sun would have been shining into that specific room we are in. So indeed, the purpose of a house is permanence and stability and therefore it is not built in such a kinetic fashion. However, the house can be built permanently, and at the same time make the best use of the sun's rays.

The Hebrew word Tzeva (color) is made up of almost the same letters of the word Iztuv (design), and not in vain. Each color has a different message and energy, and if we become aware of the inspiration of each of the colors on us, we can use it wisely in home design.
