Bathroom above side door

[myfs_148934]

Dear Cecil,
Is it Ok if a side door is below a wash basin in a bathroom but not directly under a toilet bowl and shower area?
Warm regards,
Olive

Of course, it is nice-not-to.
But, actually for landed properities, especially in Singapore;
In my opinion, at least 15 to as much as 20 percent of all landed properities especially terrace homes do have some sort of a "water position" in fact even above their main entrance door area.
Even newer developments have this. However, the most critical thing is not only whether the toilet bowl is directly above a MAIN door; but also; critically where does the sewerage pipe runs.
Thus, if one does not have a toilet bowl directly above a DOOR; but if the sewerage pipe is directly above the door; this is considered equally bad.
As for your question of side door; hopefully, this area is not your frontage or facing direction and hopefully; other factors include things like any significance under Flying Star numbers e.g. auspicious stars #8 is not at that location, sort of thing.
For Eight House practitioners; often we hear that "oh" your prosperity sector is "wasted" in the toilet...
But in general, if it is truly a side door, then most likely of secondary importance if any.

Dear Cecil,
Thank you for your reply.
Just to answer some of your questions: This is a side door not located in front or the facing direction. I understand the bathroom is in a bad sector (flying stars 2 & 5).
The sewerage pipe of the toilet is not directly above the door.
The door is above a basin (for washing hands/face) and the connected water pipe. As this part of house is under construction, If it is not Ok , then I will move the door but this will reduce the size of the next room much smaller.
How about a bedroom door is facing the staircase but the distance is 10m away?
Also is it no good to have the staircase landed near (1.5 meter) the dining area ?
With warm regards....

In my opinion, one consolation is that it is located at a sector with bad stars #2 & #5. This is in a way considered as a plus point.
I believe, a higher percentage has more to do with "leaks" if any. The common sense thing is that in the unlikelyhood that the piping at the wash area leaks; via gravity it flows down "drip, drip" towards the side door entrance.
It is considered I believe rare and; between the devil and the "shallow" (not deep, here) blue sea; it is the least of the concern.
Of course, itwould certainly be NICE-not-to have it. But, in my opinion, ifit costs a bomb to relocate; then I believe, can live with type of thing. It is not like a bullet lodged in one's head where itmay have to be removed.
For landed properties it is always good to"superimpose" one level against the other. And look out for much such situationsespecially any pipes or sewerage pipes above the stove or a bed directly above a stove sort of thing.
I would categorise your situation as non-threating or even minor "leak" given the flying star numbers are not fantastic.
You also wrote: How about a bedroom door is facing the staircase but the distance is 10m away?

Again, I would consider this area as belonging to common sense.
One of the rationale for not having a staircase facing the bedroom door has more to do with "feel". And if in an odd situation, where the bedroom door needs to open outwards, then, it may pose a danger when someone opens the door; and where do the person walking up go... most likely get pushed downwards.
Just that for privacy reasons, if your bedroom door is facing a staircase, and for two adults and if there are into some passion; and if the bed is facing the door... is as good as seeing a Blue film.. real life sort of thing.
In addtion; if many people tell us it is no good for door to face the stairs then, more of a psyhological reason, we may even feel more unease.
Thus overall, I feel it has more to do with common sense than anything else that Feng Shui can throw at you good or rather bad...
