...rooms in the west elevation is protected...
My basic idea for the sentence goes like this:
The privacy of the rooms in the west elevation is protected by a balcony...
The technical term is west elevation. See no reason not to use it here. As for what the sentence is trying to say, I can certainly visualise it, and think the above (although far from literal) would work as it expresses the ideas. However, if you want to be more literal, you could say: the rooms in the west elevation are set back...
