Main door facing kitchen door and balcony

[Jane]

Hello Sir,

We recently moved to a new home. The main door faces NE and opens inside to a small landing space with the kitchen right in front of it. The kitchen opens to a balcony. So from the main door you can directly look into the balcony. I try to keep the kitchen door closed as much as possible. Does this require to be rectified ? If so how ? The gas is placed in a position where we face NW while cooking. 

Thank you for the input

Frankly, only the writer really knows what it is all about. How others are able to correctly interpret what you wrote?

Even reading a few times also.... blur.... or cloudly.... or hazy.

Will attach a picture for reference.  From the main door you can see kitchen and balcony.

Thanks for the photo.

1. The idea is that there should not be a straight path from the main door towards an opening to the “other side.”

2. If you plan to leave the main door opened, then part of the balcony panel(s) should be closed. As circled…

3. Better still if main door is especially closed all the time, no issue, here.

4. Many two or one bedrooms apartments also do have open kitchen designs. Not much a choice. But this is also not a fatal error.
