That makes sense. I guess on a block that small you will not be able to have a very large house - so you should be aiming to have the main windows faceing front and back rather than to the sides - and just have wet areas windows to the sides if possible - you dont need as much light into them and obviously view of neighbours bricks is not really an issue from such windows. If the block is faceing east, you may need to be careful how you set up the back as this means your windows at the back and any rear alfresco area will face full glare of afternoon sun.
