Aloha wrp,
I'd wouldn't want a view of my office while I slept, so I'd shut that. I would want the bedroom veiw right out my office door, and would probably shut the bedroom door during the day when I was working in the office to help direct the qi to the active area.
As for the "ow the N/E/S/W etc areas of a house or apartment may be different from the actual directions on the compass. " would you tell me what context you're pulling that from?
Much Love, Shawn
