Plan to build a 1600/1800 sq.ft house overlooking a valley, around 250Km. from Mumbai, The valley view is due SW.
Do not like the rectangular boxes that go for houses especially those in Kerala / south India.
Is it possible for an Architect to design a house with sharply sloping roofs, the kind you see in Poland, Eastern Europe, and San Francisco. These use wood as the primary material, so is it possible to express that style in RCC. Not bothered by Vastu, as the house has to face the valley for it to make any sense.
Hi,
Of course you can do anything in RCC. However, you will need to engage a good team of architects and structural designers. Also a good contractor. I’m glad you are willing to experiment with steep slopes instead of thinking within the’box’. All the best for your project.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I have a plot of NS=90feet and EW=39feet. I have a road at the North (25 feet) and East (11 feet road). I am willing to construct my house within EW 39 and NS (between 45-65 feet, as I have more space here). However, the vastu guidelines say that the NS cannot be more than X times EW (I think its 2.5 or 1.5 not sure) Can you please clarify so that I can fix the perimeter appropriately?
Do you have any review about Vajram tiara bangalore project of Vajram developer and Legacy Estilo, Bangalore of Legacy builder ? If yes please let me know ..
Hello:
Could you please advise me on the flat that I am evaluating for purchase, which is as below:
1.It has East facing entrance (close to the south-east corner), but since the entrance passage is on the East, there are no windows facing east, so no sunlight can be received from the East.
2.Living, Kitchen, MasterBed have windows towards North. There is sufficient light in the morning/afternoon, although no direct sunlight
3.Master Bed and Bedroom2 have window on West. Some sunlight is received after 3 pm.
4.In general, the flat has good lighting, however no direct sunlight.
5.Do the vastu rules apply to flats- because most of the rules seem to be applicable to independant houses?
6.Vastu folks consider East entrance on the south corner as a dosha. What does architecture say?
Would appreciate your guidance as I do not wish to fall into the trap of make believe vaastu pundits
Hi
Is veedhi shula is depends on plot or entrance of the house.
;Good.
Thanks a lot, Bro. I have got fine ideas

I want your suggestion for further improvement. If Agreed I send my plan. Good

Hi,
I do not do vastu plans.
Admin
Sir , we are in north facing plot . The road is dead end in eastern site . We are last house . We have our main door position facing east . Is this is right ? Or we want to change to north ?
Hi,
A north facing door is better.

Researching a project on Vedic architecture , looking for book sources explaining when and what exactly the Manasara and Maya Mata are ….can you help?
Hi,
Manasara Silpa Sastram is a definitive Indian treatise on Vastu Sasthram, an ancient building code which was used for designing houses, planning cities and communities for centuries in India.
Admin
Sir, can a deploma holder (3 year program) be registered with COA. If yes then what is the procedure for that.
Hi,
No the diploma degree is not accepted.
Admin
Hi, good to see the scientific approach to Vastu. After visiting your site I am wondering that the shape square or rectangle is for the plot or house build on a plot? Please send me a quote for designing a 220 sq mtr house on a rectangular plot.

Hi,
A rectangular house is ideal. We charge between Rs 120 – 150/sft depending on the requirements and complexity.

Hello Sir,
I am planning to buy an individual house. After seeing your article in google, thought to get your advise, hope you would help me in this.
i have identified a old house G+1 (east facing) and planning to buy the same.
but as per vastu it has few defects as it has external steps in north east (facing east) for 1st floor, also it has back gate facing south and a well at South west side. please advise, if it is ok to buy the same and it is possible to correct the defects with remedy ?
Hi,
Such a big decision depends on you alone. If you get a good feel about the place go ahead. You can make changes to correct the Vastu defects after consulting a good vastu specialist.
Admin
Dear Sir,
I am planning to build on a lot which is facing north with extension on NE and NW.
North : 82 feet
South : 72 feet
West : 142 feet
East : 144 feet
Is it a good plat for residencial purpose or it has negative energy due curtailed SE and SW ends. Please advise.
Thanks
Kumar
Hi,
Since it has extension in the NE, it is a good plot.
Admin
North east main door in an apartment ….not getting any sunlight….is it still good as per vastu ….
Because lot of so called vastu pundit create an unnecessary fear in people’s mind . I have full faith in vastu science when it is explained scientifically…..I am completely convinced with your articles….please answer this query as well. …please…
Hi,
In apartments, since the doors open from the lobby, there is usually no sunlight. So do not depend on sunlight from that side, instead make sure windows are kept open to admit light.
Admin
Evening,
My bedroom is in southwest direction on first floor,and I am sharing same wall which is in southwest direction with my neighbour bedroom, they have attached toilets also. Is it ok as per vastu,or I have to do something else
Kindly reply as soon as possible,because work is going on
Thankyou
Hi,
It is not ideal because there could be leaks from the terrace and sound can be heard through the walls. You could put some cladding on the common wall to reduce the sound and chance of leaks.
Admin
Hi Sir,
I am planning for house, and construction will start next month . Before that, I have few Vastu issues, which I would like to clarify with you. My house is East Facing houst. My Question in on toilet. Ground Floor toilet is in ‘West’ side. But ppl saying it should be in ‘N-W’.. What do you suggest..?
Hi,
Place the toilet where you need it most like adjoining a bedroom.

Hello, due to lack of space , can I have a small wooden Mandir placed on my kitchen counter . The back wall where the Mandir placed will be North east wall of the kitchen. The other placement can be the middle area in the living room where the back wall would be North and the front of the Mandir of course south . Please suggest. Also if there is a attached bathroom in the Master bedroom the only option to place the bed would be the head in the north or west.And the kids bed, preferable facing of the bed and study area please. Thank you in advance for your time. SD
Hi,
place it either in the kitchen o in the living room depending on our convenience in accessing and using it.
Admin
Hi sir
Our house is been constructed in the year 1999,recently we noticed our master bedroom size is small compared to other bedrooms please suggest us
Hi,
As long as it is functional and has spcae for all your needs, leave it as it is. if space is tight, you could break a wall to an adjoining room and stick out a full length wardrobe into the other room along that wall.
Admin

Respected Sir
I like one flat but it has south facing boor which is of hall and after enter in hall I have to turn to east side for kitchen and bed room.
What do you think can I take flat or not.
Hi,
South facing doors are not bad. You can read about it in my new post.
Admin
Kindly refer to my query on NORTH-EAST facing plot and one- room house on it for which you suggest placing bed in EAST WEST axis. But in my situation, it can be facing NORTH-EAST and SOUTH-WEST or SOUTH-EAST and NORTH-WEST. Which is more appropriate?
Regarding Toilet-bath, I intend it to be in WEST corner.
Kitchen counter will be from EAST corner to South Corner.
Please also suggest, if exact NORTH-EAST is better or if can be improved to be more towards NORTH, is better?
Regards.
Hi,
An entrance in exact NE is good. place the bed with the head in the NW or SW.
Admin
Dear Sir and Madam,
Impressed with your articles, specially connecting Vastu with Science with appropriate reasoning and your concern and experience about the materials used for the construction of the house really impressed me.We are about to construct a house at Bangalore.I would like to meet you.

Sir, kindly opine on my query:
1. I own a NORTH-EAST facing small piece of irregular shaped land about 150 meter down the motorable road in hills in Uttarakahnd. It has long triangular extnesion towards West-North. I can get a square of 40’x40′ plot on which I intend to construct (or wooden structure) a very small single room house of about 300 sqft (say 20’x15′) to have a bath-cum-toilet in one corner, a platform for kitchenette and 1-2 almirahs only for my vacations and reitred life.
2. Kindly suggest placement of Bed (with head direction), kitchenette (with sink & gas position) and bath-toilet (with position of taps & commode).
3. The village trail touches at SOUTH-WEST and passing with the West-North extension of our plot and going down towards North-west. So we can enter the property by making West side boundary wall as stairs OR by using West-North extension part to enter from West-North corner of the boundary OR take half circle from West side to reach from NORTH-EAST side.
4. If desired, I can mail you a sketch of the plan.
Thank you,
Hi S Kumar,
Keep the bed in east west axis, with the head in the east or west. place the kitchen counter in such a way that you face East while cooking.

Hi,
I have got a nort east facing house. I want to built a pergola facing ne. My builder is offering to make a pine pergola unpainted covered with clear roofing. Can you tell me if it is ok to make it in ne. I am worried about the sunlight shadow falling on my house.what other option are for me to make in ne. Can i make a conservatory in this area.
Hi Naresh,
The pergola with clear roofing is the best option.

Hi Sir, I would like to construct bathroom cum Toilet inside of my old house. It is east facing house and main door locate at east side (North-east corner), kitchen at south-east, one bedroom at south-west and another bedroom at North-west corner of the flat. Can I construct the separate bathroom (South side) in between Kitchen and south-west bedroom? Is it ok for vastu shastra? Kindly let me know your views.
Hi Jagadeshan,
yes that would be the best position in your arrangement.
Admin
Dear sir,
a small clarification.
Does alumium sliding doors of balcony count towards Number of doors. And also pooja room doors which does not touch ceiling can be counted towards No of doors? please guide
Hi Hema,
Any opening is counted as a door.
Admin
I have constructed first floor of my house recently . our pooja room door is facing north and idols will be facing towards north and while doing the pooja I will be facing south. As per your article it is not correct. Also behind pooja room I have a bedroom attached toilet but there is no common wall and we have seperate two walls with gap.Please let me know what is to be done?
Hi Anuradha,
Try to place the idols on the East or West walls so that you can avoid facing south. But if you do not prefer that and want to see the deities as you enter the room, then do not spend a lot of time doing pooja. A short pooja time is okay.
Admin
Dear Sir,
Thank you so much.
Hi Rajasagar,
Thank you for your acknowledgement.

Dear Sir, My name is rajasagar from Malaysia I have a house facing south. My back door is at north east. My bathroom is at north west.

Please help me to improve my house direction and position.
Hi Rajasagar,

DEAR SIR/MAM,
HOUSE IS BEING CONSTRUCTED IN MY HOME TOWN IN ROHAT (ON PALI JODHPUR HIGHWAY RAJASTHAN). I HAVE ENCLOSED TYPICAL LAYOUT OF THE PLOT WHEREIN THE HOUSE IS BUILT. IT IS EAST FACING HAVING T JUNCTION IN FRONT OF IT.(PLEASE REFER MAP). ALTHOUGH CONSULTATION FROM LOCAL ARCHITECT WAS MADE BEFORE COMMENCE OF
CONSTRUCTION BUT NO ONE POINTED OUT FOR ANY PROBLEM. NOW SOME KNOWN VISITED & SAID THAT THIS IS NOT GOOD. I AM REALLY CONFUSED WHAT IS TRUE & WHAT TO DO. PLEASE INFORM WHETHER THIS IS A VASTU PROBLEM IN IT.
IF YES PLEASE SUGGEST REMEDIAL ACTION.
Hi Virendra,
Now that you have started construction, do not get distracted and upset by people’s comments. I cannot see your layout. But the solution is quite simple – build a high compound wall or plant tall plants opposite the spearing road. That way your privacy is maintained.
Admin
sir
i newly constructed a house 250 meters away from temple. any astological problem, its a east facing land
Hi Shaji,
A temple 250m away, is quite far off. It will not affect you adversely
Admin
Dear sir,
We purchased a flat at ground floor and the main entrance is facing at NW. We are planning to place the Mandir exactly opp to the main door ie.the idol will face NW and anyone coming to our house will see the Mandir at first. Is this location favourable. Your valuable suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks
Soni
Hi Soni,
If you are comfortable doing pooja in the living area, then there is no harm in putting the pooja mandir there. But if the idols are placed facing NW, then the worshipper will be facing south, which is not ideal.
Admin
Hi,

riddhi
Hi Riddhi,
I am an architect by profession and do not want to be a vastu consultant. I have used my blog to allay the superstitions and fears that surround Vastu shastra by giving scientific reasoning for vastu principles.
But just as a start, you could consider de-cluttering your home. get rid of the things that you have not touched for the past year or so. Make sure that you keep your home clean, tidy and neat. Also open out all the windows in the morning to admit light and fresh air.

Dear sir ,
My self Rajesh Gupta , I have aplot 60 feet width & 22 feet depth it is East facing plot. I want main door in 60 feet side which is situated at east facing.
I wan t to know that in east can we open a main door 3, 4, 5,(pad) how to get I measurement from ishaan direction & what it is size & what is the door size & hight.
Hi Rajesh,
If you want to place it exactly as per pada, then divide your house facade length into 9 parts. The main door should either be in the 4th or the 6th pada preferably more towards the NE.
Admin
I am planning to construct a house in my home town. Can you provide details like, if you could make vastu compliant plan as well as 3D elevation and what will be the charges for it.
Hi Senthil,

Admin
We have 5′ in east so we can place stove in East and there is no sufficient space to place water filter and sink at North East corner of kitchen. It’s U shaped peninsula kitchen opening towards North direction facing to Dining area. Can we place sink and water filter in north side (open Platform) or South-SW direction of kitchen ? If we place it at South of SW then where to keep fridge?
Secondly what main thing to follow strictly while constructing Bathroom cum Toilet like WC commode facing or Sink or shower or geyser placement in kitchen as it is becoming tough to follow altogether as per vastu. Pls tell us ideal locations for all also. Bathroom sizes are 6’x7″ in East, 6’x9′ in SW, 5’x6″ in W, 4’x7′ in NW.
Hi Raj,
You can keep the sink in the North platform. In bathrooms it is not possible to put commodes and sinks as per ideal ‘vastu’ directions. More important is to make sure that the arrangement in the bathrooms are efficient. You can refer to my post Designing a Bathroom
Admin
Sir Namaskaram.
We have a corner plot facing east but the size of the plot is EAST 44.6 NORTH IS 60.10 WEST IS 39.1 & SOUTH 66.7. i AM IN A DILEMMA BECAUSE OF SOUTH EAST EXTENSION. WE HAVE ROADS ON SOUTH & EAST SIDE. HOW TO MAKE IT VASTU PERFECT? Pls suggest. Thanks.ii
if making rectangular remaining land can i use for garden.
& it will be in my same compound wall.
Thanks
deepak
Hi Deepak,
Since the roads are in the South and East, keep more open space in this corner and build a rectangular house with 90 degree corners. You can also plant shrubs in such a way that the plot appears rectangular and the remaining portion can be used for garden.
Admin
Sir I needed to know if you can come for a sitevisit for vastu corrections and for planning n designing?

Hi Harsha Prakash,
I will be putting up a post on kolte patil Mirabilis soon.
Admin
Hi, can you provide architectural reason as to why it is considered bad to have swimming pool in SW location on the plot per vaastu. Thank you.
Hi Kasturi,
SW corner should be the most stable part of the house and the tallest whereas the NE should be the lowest. This is to allow the morning sunlight that rises from the NE to permeate all parts of the house. So you can put a swimming pool in the SW corner of the site and have a regular house nearby. But if you cut off the SW corner of the house to put a swimming pool , then the vastu gets disturbed. But just for your interest, in feng shui, water in the SW corner is considered good as long as it is not at the back of the house.
Admin
Can I plan bed room with southeast attached toilet in first floor above kitchen (southeast) in groundfloor. Please advise.
Hi Augustin,
It is not the ideal scenario, because the toilet lines and toilet sinking may affect the kitchen below. But if you take adequate precautions and do proper waterproofing of the toilet, it should be okay.
Admin
Hi
My plot slopes from north to south !! And my main entrance is at south east . When I open my main door in few distance I have the stairs and do have a restroom under the stairs . My north east corner extends towards north . And my master bedroom attached toilet is in SW corner . Is it good to buy this place ??
One more question that I have is my friend says that one of her relative moved to a new house 2 yrs back and that the vastu was not good . They are now suffering from cancer!! Is that true because they moved into this new house which has bad vastu that they have got cancer now . Please clarify !
Thanks
Hi Padma,
Honestly it is how you feel about the place – your instinct. You cannot blame vastu for problems. Of course, if there is no proper ventilation or lighting in a house, it can affect the inmates adversely. And using vastu principles will enable you to have more light and ventilation in a house.
Admin
Dear Sir,
Having West faced house, entry thru North to South.Bed room in North East. Children room in North West. Living room in South West, Kitchen in South East. Please suggest arrangements of rooms in 1st floor which we plan to construct shortly. Your kind reply is awaited.
Hi Augastin,
Please consult with an architect since you cannot just arrange rooms as you like. It all depends on the structure.
Admin
Respected sir,
my house is east facing.there are two entrances at the northeast corner one is at northeast-east and the second one is at northeast-north.the kichen is at southeast corner.the pooja room is adjacent to the kitchen and next to the northeast-north door to the east wall side and facing west side. the master bedroom is at south west and it has the entrance at northeast-east.so the pooja room door and the bed room door are opposite to each other. is it right or wrong ? and the bed room should have the bathroom at southeast corner? and can we leave the kitchen as open ?
Hi Rathnakar reddy,
A pooja opposite a bedroom door is okay. You can have an open kitchen. But why do you need two entrances? keep only one.

Sir,
My house is East facing. We are renovating it and the portico/balcony on the 1st floor is constructed on the NE corner and SE is left open. Is this right according to vastu? Please advice.
Thanks.
Regards,Arun.
Hi Arun,
Ideally it should have been the other way around – the SE corner in the first floor should have been constructed and the NE corner should have been left open. This way the heat would have been reduced. Now if it has already been constructed, make the SE terrace heat proof by adding a terrace garden or an open tiled roof above it.

I wanted details on cutting of corners of flat / house on all directions and it importance in our day to day life. which cut is serious & which cut can be allowed. request you to send me details on this topic. Regards’Deepak from Pune -Maharastra.
Hi Deepak,
Cut-corners in flats, sites are not considered ‘vastu-friendly’. But in today’s world, it is not practical to avoid such designs. In fact from an architect’s perspective, I can say that having cut corners is an advantage, as more windows can be added and more corners can be created.

Sir,
Our plot is facing North . Can the main door be placed on North side. Is it okay to enter the house to South? Also we redesigned carporch to centre since NE is not ideal.The stair case inside the house is nearby bedroom in the South.So we need to climb up from North to SOuth. Is that okay according to vaastu. Please share your thoughts
Regards, sreeja
Hi Sreeja,
When the plot is a North facing one, it is better to have the main entrance door in the North. Why should one go to the back to enter the house? Also, the porch is ideally in the NE as it allows lot of open area in this corner.

Hi Pallavi,
You can plant the mango tree in the South or West. Avoid the East and the North.

pls let me know if there is window on back of bed is it a problem
HI Rinku,
Generally a window behind the bed is not a good option as your heads are exposed to the gust of air through the window. But sometimes, when there are limitations, you are forced to place the bed against the window. In such a case, make sure the window is airtight so that you can keep it closed while you sleep.

Great work..very good explanations abt science behind vastu…hope it will help ppl to apply vastu science in logical way…rather than applying in ‘tona-totka’ way
Hi Ashutosh,
I really hope so. Thank you for appreciating my efforts. I hope my site gives people the confidence to apply Vastu to their spaces in a logical way instead of relying on vastu pundits and ignore what ‘well-meaning people’ have to say.

Dear Sir
Can you give suggestions about good weathering course to reduce heat from the roof ?
Thanks
Saravana
Hi Sarvana,
The time tested method is to put brick-bats and for added insulation cover it with terracotta tiles. But ideally this will have a much better effect, if you can create a air gap between the terrace and the tile layer. Another option is to paint the terrace white so that heat is reflected. But it can be blinding to the eye. The best solution is to have a terrace garden, provided you have water and get it done by a professional. Otherwise there is the chance of leaks.

Dear Sir,
thx a lot for sharing a very useful info with us. I have a query n request u to kindly reply it. we have bought a house which has an entrance in north east its living room is L-shaped.so if we have to place our pooja in north east then it will come in front of the main door. so is that ok??? or should we place it else where???
Hi Meenakshi,
There is no point in blocking the front entrance with the pooja room just because the North-East is the ‘ideal position’ according to Vastu. Instead look at some corner in your house, which is well-ventilated and well-lit for your Pooja space.

Dear Sir,
I have looked into a house where the door opening is west towards South. the kitchen is located in the North r=east direction. Please advise to go in for it or not this is a rental transaction.
Waiting for your reply
thx

Hi Adil Mohsin,
You cannot get a house that is 100% vastu compliant, especially when you are looking at rental houses. But You need to look at the overall layout of the house, whether it is planned well with good movement space, whether it is well-lit and well ventilated with good cross-ventilation. And whether you get a good feel when you stand inside it.
