If you take a look at the Limsan plots which a few FCs have already built large houses on the house is at the back of the plot, covering the entire width with the front door facing directly towards the gate. It is placed precisely where the red template marker was and the front door is in the middle of the long edge of that template. Assuming the red stuff on the floor is correct then the houses in Ul'Dah and Gridania are indeed facing sideways.
