Principles of Vaastu Shastra:

Vastu Shastra(vstu stra, alsoVastu Veda, "scienceof construction", "architecture") is a traditionalHindusystem ofdesignbased ondirectionalalignments. It is primarily applied inHindu architecture, especially forHindu temples, although it covers other applications, including poetry, dance, sculpture, etc. The foundation of Vastu is traditionally ascribed to the mythical sageMamuni Mayan. While Vastu had long been essentially restricted to temple architecture, there has been a revival in India in recent decades, notably under the influence ofV. Ganapati SthapatiofChennai,Tamil Nadu(b. 1927), who has been campaigning for a restoration of the tradition in modern Indian society since the 1960s.

Here are some prominent vaastu guidelines:

Vastu for kitchen: Right place is the south-east corner or an alternative is the north-west corner

Vastu for Bedroom: The right direction to set your master bedroom is on south-west

Vastu for Bathroom: The best location for bathroom is the eastern part of the home.

General vastu tips:

Design house to admit bright light into the main doorway

Plan house to allow 5 doors with maximum opening

Keep corners of the home bright

Design bedroom where wind blows from south to west

Windows should open out

House architecture and designs to avoid: oval, circular, or triangle

House should never be disturbed by obstructive buildings

The Architect designed this house layout to successfully incorporate all these challenges and requirements of the client. Even the color scheme was experimented with as it was found too drastic for this architect's comfort on the model itself. However, the architect and his team arrived at the conclusion that because the model was very crude, the colors were not in harmony. Hence, extra care was taken at the time of plastering to get exact plumb levels, true walls & perfect right angles & edges as the faade depended heavily on the skill of the masons.

This is an architectural design implemented to the minutest details. And needles to say, the new home and residence of Mrs. Lakshmi looks fabulous.
