East-facing plots
Keep the entrance in the north-east part of the east wall, living room in the east, kitchen in the south-east, master bedroom in the south-west, and the staircase along the south or west.
North-facing plots
Entrance in the north-east part of the north wall, living in the north, pooja in the north-east, kitchen in the south-east and master bedroom in the south-west.
West-facing plots
Entrance in the north-west part of the west wall; kitchen in the north-west or south-east; master bedroom in the south-west; keep the north-east light and open. West-facing homes benefit from sunshades against afternoon heat.
South-facing plots
Entrance in the south-east part of the south wall; master bedroom in the south-west; keep the north and east as open as possible with windows or a utility area.
Balancing Vastu with a practical plan
- Decide your non-negotiables (for example, entrance and kitchen) and be flexible on the rest.
- Structural safety and daylight come first — don’t move columns for Vastu after the structure is designed.
- Finalise Vastu requirements before drawings are frozen; changes later are expensive.
