Here is the problem as it relates to feng shui.
Front door opens onto stairs.
There are two kinds of homes.
Max between exterior landing and threshold an exception was added for all other exterior doors which are now allowed up to two steps between the landing and the threshold.
The gravity force of chi energy coming down the stairs is greater than the incoming chi from the door.
The first one has an entryway a small hallway a nook near the front door or even a sharp turn that separates the front door from the rest of the home.
You walk in the door and literally fall smack dab into the living room.
And then there s the problem that the rest of us face.
Front door conflict with many schools of thought and philosophies related to the practice of feng shui one idea all the experts agree on is the conflict created when a front door also a symbol.
While the egress door still has to follow the strict requirement of having no more than a one step height difference 73 4 in.
Having a front door open immediately to a stairway is going in the direction of financial failure whether you are a home builder or a homeowner.
Doors would end up like this because there often wasn t a place to swing the door into the kitchen or elsewhere where the top of the stairs was located.
In this situation landing strips tend to migrate into the whole room.
Interior doors do not require landings at both sides of the door like exterior doors do.
