Congrats on the sprouting durian seed. I definitely wouldn't plant them close to my house. But not just for the smell reason, but also for the reason that durians, especially seedlings will get huge. You don't want them toppling into your house, or dropping brittle limbs onto your house, or even big spiked fruits onto people walking under the trees. BTW i don't think they have shallow roots. They do develop very long tap roots, otherwise they couldn't support their height.
