Hi

We are looking into a custom-made altar for worshipping Buddha and Earth God in our new flat. But we are not sure which is the ideal location. Attached are the pics of the various options:

Option 1:

Build the altar against the wall right beside the main door entrance. This would mean we will have to seal up the existing kitchen entrance and re-create the kitchen entrance at the other side. But with this, it will seem that the stove will be in line with the new kitchen entrance and if I'm not wrong, this is not a good stove location right?

Option 2:

Build the altar against the RC wall and we are also looking into using the excess space beside the altar as counter top looking into the kitchen (only the bold line representing the RC wall cannot be hacked, but the remaining wall can be hacked). But the altar at this position

seems to be facing the wall at the other end of the living room coz there is a small wall separating the windows. Is that still ok?

Anyone can advise which is better or any other alternatives if the above 2 options are not good?
