1. Daylighting: In the south, the living room and balcony facing north are less exposed to direct sunlight, but the balcony facing north may be affected when drying clothes and plants. In contrast, the balcony of a restaurant facing south may have a better drying effect in sunny conditions.
2. Ventilation: From the perspective of ventilation, the restaurant balcony facing south may benefit from the southeast wind blowing in summer, which makes the indoor air circulation better. The living room facing north may be less affected by natural ventilation.
3. Temperature and light: In the area north of the Tropic of Cancer, the living room facing north may be cold in winter because there is less indoor sunlight. At the same time, the balcony of the restaurant facing south may be very hot in summer because of the long direct sunlight.
4. Convection: The north-south transparent apartment is beneficial to air convection, but when the indoor and outdoor temperatures are high in summer, the north-south convection may not significantly reduce the indoor temperature.
To sum up, the house with the living room balcony facing north and the dining room balcony facing south has advantages in some aspects, but there are also some challenges in lighting, temperature and lighting. When considering buying this kind of house, you need to weigh it according to your own needs and actual situation.
