Can the shower area be above a stove: Hse Layout

[myfs_145115]

Master Cecil,
1. I read that the toilet should not be above the stove. Is this also applicable to the shower area above a stove?
2. Is it bad to have a stove facing the wall of the toilet/powder room? Pleasesee sketch 1.
3. The door of the toilet/ powder room faces the dining table. But what is immediatley seen when the door is open is the lavatory/sink and not the toilet. Is this a concern? Please see sketch 1.
4. Is thereany concernif a bedroom door face a storage door? The stuff inside the storage are used/unused toys, linens, pots, dinnerware, and the like. Please see sketch 2.
5. How about a master's bedroom door facing the door to the open deck? Is this an issue? Please see sketch 2.
6. Reading about poison arrows coming from pillars and room corners, can we avoid this by having the corners rounded during construction ?
Thanks so much.

Please see reply, below:-
1. I read that the toilet should not be above the stove. Is this also applicable to the shower area above a stove?
A1 This has a basis based on Commonsense or we also can call it cow-sense Feng Shui.
A2 What is the MORE crucial issue?
A3 Here, the most crucial issue are the "waste pipes" such as the drainage pipes "STICKING" out directly below a drainage pipe. As all homes have drainage pipes; and many of these drainage pipes are linked or glued together plus there are some pipes e.g. U shaped etc.. that can allow one to unclog it.
A4 THESE are the pipes that we are more concerned of!
A5 As off-chance there may be a likelyhood that these pipes may:-

A5.1Leak.Imagine if it leaks and these materials can just flow downwards to the utencils and/or food that we are just cookingetc...
A5.2 Imagine one dayif the drainage getsclogged; someone has to stand aroundandopen the cap to clear the clog. If the materialagain flows down towards the"fixed" stove...
A6. Usually, in a proper toilet; it should have water proofing.Although it is nice never to have a toilet of sorts above the stove; but if really no choice; then other thanthe concern of the pipes; the standing area say in a shower if it is immediately above the stove is generallybetter than the pipes above it.
2. Is it bad to have a stove facing the wall of the toilet/powder room? Pleasesee sketch 1.
A7. Again this is another cow-sense question. If it is just a wall no major issue. BUT if there are:-
A7.1 A toilet bowl sharing this same wall; then hopefully the sewerage pipe is not next to the stove. This is considered inauspicious.
A7.2 Usually a stove heats up things close-by. So, we also don't want to have water pipes running close-by. For example if the wash basin is sharing the wall with the stove; if say the cold water pipe gets heated up.. I know, you get free hot water; but unexpectedly a child or even adult can be scalded by the hot water.
A7.3 In Feng Shui; it is considered inauspicious to run water pipes close to the stove - other than A7.2. Considered inauspicious as water and fire are "together".

Pleasesee sketch 1.3.
The door of the toilet/ powder
room faces the dining table.
But what is immediatley
seen when the door is open is
the lavatory/sink and not the

Please see sketch 1.4. Is
thereany concernif

the storage are used/unused
toys, linens, pots,

Please see sketch 2.5. How

construction ?Thanks so much.

This question has been reviewed many times in the past. And again, the concept is the same it is based on Commonsense approach to Feng Shui:-
3. The door of the toilet/ powder room faces the dining table. But what is immediatley seen when the door is open is the lavatory/sink and not the toilet. Is this a concern? Please see sketch 1.

4. Is thereany concernif a bedroom door face a storage door? The stuff inside the storage are used/unused toys, linens, pots, dinnerware, and the like. Please see sketch 2.
ANS: The concept of symbolism in Feng Shui. Under symbolism; best not to see things like "toy knifes / guns". And any other sharp objects facing the bedroom.
5. How about a master's bedroom door facing the door to the open deck? Is this an issue? Please see sketch 2.
ANS: The concept of "coffin position" i.e. avoid legs facing bedroom door or an opening such an opening say towards an open deck. Or for some homes that have external wall that is made of glass; avoid legs facing towards "such an opening".
6. Reading about poison arrows coming from pillars and room corners, can we avoid this by having the corners rounded during construction ?
ANS: Feng Shui cannot be done by remote control. Thus, if one does not say there or in a specific room even if the rooms have sha qi or poison arrows or beams; then no issue.
ANS: Thus e.g. if one does not sleep below a beam for 2 hours per day per year; no issue.
ANS: sha qi from a concrete wall; in my opinion can have a poison arrow of around 1 meter distance. For softer corners e.g. of a wooden cabinet; it can be only around 1 1/2 to 2 feet depending on the material it is made of e.g. hardwood; softwood; particle board etc...
