Never thought about it.   I want an efficient layout, decent appliances.
 
When you say "faces" do you mean the stove?

  No. I mean the kitchen is on the north side of the
house.  The view from  the kitchen windows  is to the
North. The north is the coolest/ shadiest side of the

In the UK, the warmest side of the house would be my favourite.

The kitchen is typically a room where you're up and moving around.
And it has its own heat source if you're cooking.  I'd want my living
room to be on the warmest side of the house.

That said, I don't care enough about it.  My living room is
on the northeast corner -- the coldest part of the house.
That's why each of our chairs has a small blanket.

If I could change two things about my house:  it would have
a full basement rather than part basement, part crawlspace, and
the plans would be flipped over so the public areas (rather
than the bedrooms) are adjacent to the driveway.
