SCIENTIFIC VASTU | SITE SHAPE | An Architect Explains

According to Vastu Shastra, the Site ‘Shape’ affects the well being of the inmates. Some shapes have a good effect, while others have a bad effect and some others can be used after making corrections by building a ‘Vastu’ compound wall in a suitable shape. 
The shape of a site plays an important role in the overall energy balance of any plot but just the shape must never be the only criteria for accepting or rejecting a plot. All the Vastu Shastra factors including the shape of the plot  must be taken into consideration before deciding on a site. 
Since Vastu is a science, every guideline is based on logic and reasoning. As an Architect, I have attempted to explain these guidelines rationally and scientifically under the following headings, so that you can decide what you want to follow and what you don’t, instead of blindly following them like a superstition:

What is the best shape of a site and what are the effects of different shaped sites?
What are the remedies for defects in the Site shape?
What are the effects of odd dimensions in a site?
In Vastu Shastra, is there any solution for odd shaped sites?

 


ACCORDING TO VASTU SHASTRA, WHAT IS THE BEST SHAPE  OF A SITE AND WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT SHAPED SITES?

squareSquare shaped site is the best shape: According to Vastu, it ensures the inmates all round prosperity and happiness. The Reasoning- In earlier times, since most houses were designed around a central square courtyard for good cross-ventilation and protection from the hot summer heat, a square Site was considered the best, as the Site could be used fully, without any wastage of space around it.

rectangle

Rectangle shaped Site is also considered good: especially if the longer sides run North to South, rather than West to East. It bestows good health, wealth and prosperity. The Reasoning- Like in a square site, it is easy to design a square or rectangle shaped house in a rectangle site even though there will be some extra land around the house. But this space can be  used for trees, outhouse etc and hence is not wasted.

Today, in the modern context, as an Architect, I also subscribe to this view. I find the rectangle shape the best for Sites- It is easier to design a house on rectangular lines since this allows for a good flow of interior spaces and the proportion of the rectangle’s sides are most suitable in designing rooms. It may be for this reason that Sites in cities are usually available in rectangular  shapes such as 30’x40′, 40’x60′, 50’x80′ etc.

triangleTriangle shaped Site is not considered good: However, if the site is very big, then it can be used by constructing a Vaastu compound wall so that it appears to be a square shaped site and then designing the house within it. The Reasoning- In a triangular site, it is difficult to design a square or rectangular house, which is the preferred shape for an efficient plan. There will be a lot of wastage of land on all three corners and very little space on the periphery of the house. Also, the plinth area of the house will be much less than, if the same plan is drawn on a square or rectangular site of the same area.

circleCircular/Elliptical/Oval shaped Sites are not considered good for houses: According to Vastu, such Sites are only good for constructing circular/elliptical shaped buildings, like public buildings. The Reasoning- Just like in a triangle shaped site, it is difficult to construct a rectangle or square house and there will be a lot of odd-shaped waste land around and hence is not considered worth buying for a house.

trapeziumPentagon, Hexagon, Octagon shaped Sites are not considered good: However, if these shapes are made rectangular or square by building a Vastu compound wall, so that it appears to be a square or rectangular Site, it can be used. The Reasoning- Just like in a triangle shaped site there will be lot of wastage of land around the building and so is  not considered worth the money you spend for the land.

l-shapeL-Shaped Site is not good for a house: However, if it is possible to buy the site on the inside of the L-shaped site to form a rectangle site, then it is fine. Or if the arms are wide enough then the site can be fenced off into a rectangle and the remaining portion can be used for a garden or  some other structure. The Reasoning- It will be difficult to design a square or rectangle shaped house in a L-shaped plot, unless the arms are very wide.

WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF ODD DIMENSIONS IN A SITE?

goumukhGou-mukh (Cow faced) site is considered auspicious: According to Vastu, if the plot is narrow in the front and wide at the back, like the face of a cow, it is auspicious. The Reasoning- A square or rectangle shaped house can be designed in this plot with some excess land in the back which can be used for various things like a kitchen garden, outhouse etc.

simhaSimha-mukh (Lion faced) Site is considered inauspicious: According to Vastu, if the plot is wide in the front or entrance and narrow at the back, like the face of a lion, it is inauspicious. The Reasoning- In this plot, though a rectangle or square shaped house can be designed, the excess land will be in the front, and an outhouse or kitchen garden cannot be placed here. So the excess space will be wasted and hence not considered worth the money spent.

cutSites with cut corners are not good: If possible, you should be able to purchase the cut part as well, so that the site looks whole. The Reasoning- It will be difficult to design a house if any of the corners are cut, as some parts of the house will not have proper ventilation.

Sites with cut-corners in the North-East are not good and  should not be purchased. It is like a headless body, because as per Vastu Purusha Mandala the Vastu Purusha’s head lies in the North-East. The Reasoning- The North-East is the direction from which the sun light engulfs the house in the morning and hence should be kept open without any obstructions. So, if it belongs to someone else, that portion cannot be kept open to the useful sunlight. But in case the site has a cut in the North-East, then there are remedies which you can read about in my post Remedies for North-East defects

Sites with projections/extensions in the North or East are considered good: The Reasoning- The North-East is the direction from which the sun light engulfs the house in the morning and so if this corner is projected, there can be a lot more open space that will ensure more unobstructed sunlight.

Sites with projections/extensions in the North-West, South-East or South-West are not considered good: but can be used after corrections by building a Vaastu compound wall. The Reasoning – Having open spaces to the South and West of a site are not preferred, as the hot sunrays projected towards these directions, will heat up the house.

WHAT ARE THE PRACTICAL REMEDIES FOR CUT IN THE NORTH-EAST DEFECT?

Cut corners in the North-East are not good whereas an extension in the NE is considered very good. The Reasoning- The North-East is the direction from which the morning sun rays engulfs the house in the morning and hence should be kept open without any obstructions. So, if it is cut then the amount of light entering from the NE corner is limited. However, if the NE is extended/projected, there will be a lot more open space which will ensure more unobstructed sunlight.

Remedy for cut in the North-East:  In case a cut in the North-East corner cannot be avoided, then you can follow these remedies:

  • Place 2 mirrors such that the cut North East corner is reflected in mirror. This creates an illusion of extension of North East corner.
Irregular plan
IN VASTU SHASTRA, IS THERE ANY SOLUTION FOR ODD SHAPED SITES?

Irregular shaped sites have a negative effect on the human psyche, but can be used after building a square or rectangular compound wall around it: The Reasoning:  The compound wall protects the building and the space surrounding it from negative energies and so, in irregular shaped properties, square or rectangular shaped compound walls can be  built and the remaining area should be left for growing trees and plants.

This post was about the importance of  ‘Site Shape’ in the Selection of a Site. Read about another important Vastu Shastra consideration when Selecting a Site, namely:

    Hello.
    I am considering buying a South West corner site. It is a quadrilateral site with the following dimensions:
    West: 47.7 feet (SW tilt)
    East: 75.11 feet (SE tilt)
    North: 73.6 feet (NW tilt)
    South: 22.41 feet (SW tilt)
    Can this accomodate a decent sized rectangular house? would you advise investing in such a property?

    Hello Sir,
    Greetings from a tropical country.
    Due to rectangle land size (30M width x 20M length), the longer side facing East-West, I am thinking about a single-storey house design that is rectangle shaped with a family hall, kitchen, 3 bed rooms, 2 bathrooms. It would not look nice for a North-Side orientation as generally understood to be ideal, Due to land shape and direction, I need advice (if possible, a sample house design). Look forward to any advice with regards to a viable house that allows natural lighting, good air-ventilation. and ways to shade the wide walls infrom the afternoon sun (West).

    Regarding “rectangle shaped site is also considered good, …”
    I am having a rectangle shaped land, the longer sides run East-West (orientation).
    So, I am thinking about getting a square house design in such a rectangle, horizontal, wide land.
    Which means, high possibility of the main (door) entrance facing East, and back door facing West.
    Correct me if I am wrong, I understand the concern is the afternoon sun issue, where light & heat would be problematic on the west side of the house.
    And advice regarding the house design (position of 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, family hall, kitchen), and ways to provide shades for the house, especially the west side?
    Would this design be good (auspicious)?
    Look forward & appreciate any good tips, comments, suggestions.

    Hi,
    The golden ratio is 1.618 which is applied to most things in geometry, architecture. So in your case the length is more than the ideal length. But you cant be too fussy about these things.

    Respected Sir,
    we are looking to merge 2 apartments to 1 which is still under construction,we will be going to talk to builder tomorrow regarding price etc, but wanted to check for your guidance on Vaastu. there will be 3 floors and only 1st floor is vacant
    PLot is North Facing, Main door of house is East facing
    E: 50’0″ , W ” 52’7″ , N : 39’3″ , S : 38’5″
    1. Plot dimension are less in back is this fine ?
    2. if we merge 2 flats and take the complete floor, then in between East i will have the stairs & lift coming up.. so the house inside will be like M shape is this fine ?
    I cannot attach the plan here.
    Hi,
    Merging two flats and the resultant M shape is okay but make sure the plan is such that, not much space is wasted in circulation.

    Hello Sir,
    I have plan to buy site. It is North facing site
    North facing width is 40
    East line it is 59
    West Line it is 60
    South line is cross due to length variations in ease & west line.
    is it good to buy this. As it is a huge investment. I am in dilemma. Please guide
    Hi,
    The 1′ difference is not a big one, so it will not affect the site adversely. But the final call is yours since it is a huge investment. Go with your gut instinct.

    Hello sir,
    My site is facing North West and back is South east. On South there is a slight projection (may be a meter) compared to East. Is this plot good?
    If not, can i construct a straight compund wall and remove the projection ?
    Thanks for your response.
    Regards,
    Sreehari
    Hi Sreehari,
    Any projection in the South is not as favourable. You can construct the compound wall along your site boundary. However grow some shrubs in a line such that the boundary seems to be rectangular.

    Hello,
    I am planning to buy a west facing L shaped plot. The total size of the plot is 400 Sq.yards. However the seller is only selling 300 Sq.yards cutting 100 sq.yards from the NW corner. Making the plot a L shaped extended towards NE. Is it advisable to buy a plot with NW missing?
    Thank you for your valuable suggestion.
    Hi Vamsi,
    a plot with a corner cut off is not ideal but in this case you can rectify it by bifurcating along the N-S direction so that it appears like two plots.

    Hello,
    I’m planning to construct basement & shops on ground floor on a corner plot facing south & west. Its a singh mukhi plot extending in south west direction. Kindly suggest me whether should I go for rectangular shape or not by deducting the extended area.
    Hi Rahul,
    This decision depends on the site dimensions. If, by planning a rectangular building, the deducted area is quite large, then you can extend a portion of the house into that space.But make sure the space is rectangular in shape.

    Hi Nesamani,
    It is goumukh which is good as per vastu. But there is too much difference in the other dimensions to ignore. you have effectively only 24’x56′ for constructing a house. The remaining space can be used for a garden. So if you feel happy about this property, you can consider it.

    Side N 31.22 meter
    Side S 31.95 meter
    Will you please advise if its the right one to buy and make a house for living ?
    SAM

    Hi Sam,
    This is a simha mukh site as it has a wider front than back and not ideal as per vastu. But the difference in dimesnsions is very small to affect it. Moreover, it is a east facing site which is good. So I dont see it as a bad site. But you need to take the call based on your instinctive feel of this site.
