If you want your heart to sing, sit on JoJo's lanai and watch the sun set, over water, and water birds and the palms across the water in silouette. OH MY.
We have a western exposure and for about an hour every summer evening the lanai is very uncomfortable and then when the direct sun leaves and the fans are on and with a sweat beaded glass of something cold and nice company....yes indeedy, lovin' it.
AND I think the new homes are better insulated because we rarely run heat and there is only ONE window in the house that you can feel cold around the sill, which reminds me that certainly something can be done. It isn't the glass.
So, if I were to build again I would choose west.
I like the sunsets and the artist who paints them.
