Vastu check
- Pooja in the east, a traditional zone for it.
- Kitchen in the west, not its ideal zone. Move it in the editor if Vastu matters to you.
- Master bedroom in the north-west, not its ideal zone. Move it in the editor if Vastu matters to you.
For a south-facing plot, tradition puts the main door on the south side toward the south-east half, away from the south-west corner. South-facing plots often cost less and work well with the right entrance and shading.
Vastu for a south facing house →Questions about this plan
How many square feet is a 40×40 house?
40 × 40 ft is 1,600 sq ft (177.8 sq yards) per floor. Leave setbacks as your local building rules require: on a plot of exactly this size, the house itself will be a little smaller.
Is this south facing plan Vastu compliant?
1 of the 3 key rooms sit in their traditional Vastu zone: pooja in the east, kitchen in the west (not the ideal zone), master bedroom in the north-west (not the ideal zone). You can move any room in the free editor.
Can I change this plan?
Yes. Open it in VARAIPADAM to change the plot size, facing or room list. The planner draws five new options, and you can move rooms, view the house in 3D and download PDF, DXF, IFC and 3D files.
