I have been following you site right from intial stage of my home construction. I would like to know regarding the basement car parking. My plot is facing west, however i have made the main entrance from north and it requires a few steps. The car porch/garage is designed by the architect is that it opens from west (road side) and goest till the other side. ( i.e west till east from west)
My question:
> Can the garage be like this if not whats the solution
> how many steps (even or odd) in front of the main door. I need to climb a bit towards east to get in from North main entrance.

Thanks & Regards,

What about the plots which are located in courts( where the street has dead end) esp at the end of the court?

Dear Ar Vastuman,
If the place is in the northern hemisphere and close to the equator like India, the Sun may be directly overhead or even to the north for most of the year. This can be confirmed by watching the Sun’s movements through the day, through the year. So the Vastu pundits used this fact in designing buildings.
I am surprised that as an architect in India, you are not aware of this. Or are you just a vastuman?

I have a plot of 30×40 south facing plots. I have left the space of 2 feet on left and right side top and bottom of the house.

If I divide the plot into 9 quadrants the 9th quadrants is a place of AGNI. for my case it will be around 9×12 feet area.

I have planned to do car parking of 13×8 as well as a kitchen in the ANGI area so what happened is now kitchen is shifted to 8th Quadrant.

Please check this design is okay or any modification needs to be done.

First of all I thank you for effort in providing so much information.

I need to know about the Garage/Porch as I have a Corner Plot (2 Side Open) Size 49′ x 80′ facing North (to Main Road) On the East is my neighbour (having common wall) on the West there is also a road leading into some more houses in the Colony, on the South is again a Neighbour whose Plot is facing South(Our back walls are common)
I need to have Car Parking for 2 Cars on the front One for Large Car and One for Medium
Size Car for ourself and I have earmarked an area of 18′x18′ but in the NE direction —Will this be enough and according to Vastu is it OK to have the Car Park in NE direction????

I would like to add here that I am leaving a passage 4′ wide through out my boundry wall in the East (This 4′ width is included in the width of my Garage)
Now I would also like to have another Garage on the Rear side for my would beTenant’s
on the First floor with their entry from the SW side and I have earmarked a space of 9′x15′
Willl the size and direction (SW) as per VASTU be OK
Kindly suggest

Dear Mr Vikkram,

Prcatically speaking, it is better not to fret too much about the vastu of a house that you are taking on rent- especially regarding the garage. As long as the rooms have adequate light and ventilation, you can be satisfied that the vastu is okay.

Dear Ms Nitya,
For a side by side car park the minimum dimensions for smaller cars are 15′ x 16′. For a car park with two small cars one behind the other, the minimum dimensions are 9′ x 26′.
