Always place buildings to the north of the outdoor spaces that go with them, and keep the outdoor spaces to the south. Never leave a deep band of shade between the building and the sunny part of the outdoors.
This applies in the northern hemisphere. Reverse this for the southern hemisphere.
Facing the sun also being light into the house more.
