Before choosing a type of design for your multi-storied building or apartments all you have to do is follow these simple and basic Vastu principles while designing.
- The shape of the plot should be either rectangular or square.
- Choose either East or North direction for the entrance of the building.
- If you are planning to construct a playground or lawn near the building then choose the North-East direction.
- Make the slope towards the North-East side of the multi-storied building while keep the South-West portion a bit raised.
- Avoid planting huge trees near the multi-storey building. They can certainly be planted at some distance from the building.
- The entrance gate of the multi-storied building should not have any obstruction.
- The height of the upper floor should be less than the ground floor height.
- The upper floor doors should not be at the same place of the lower floor door. There should be a little difference in case of all the floors.
- Under-water tank or bore-well should be constructed in North-east direction while over-head tank should be in the South-west direction.
- Store room or room for dumping waste materials should be in South-West.
- Do not place bedrooms in the North-East corner, because it is not an auspicious place for sleeping.
- North-West or West is the right place for placing toilets in a multi-storied building.
- Bathroom can be constructed in North-East or North-West but make sure water drainage from bathroom is made in North-east.
- The rooms should be in the East direction or else the windows should face East.
- Keep the South or West portion of the multi-storied building for staircases.
- Construct the balcony or any open patio in the East or North portion of the building.
