Vastu Shastra suggests that a house facing north is ideal, as it is believed that the North is the direction of wealth and opportunities. But face direction of a property is just one aspect in the broader Vastu assessment. The actual location of the entrance, the space composition, placement of key rooms can also affect the appraisal of the house.
If you're buying a Villa, making plans for a new house or even looking at a home, this guide will give you an idea of the primary guidelines of North facing house Vastu.
Yes. According to traditional Vastu Shastra the Kubera is the deity traditionally associated with wealth and prosperity and is located in the North direction. This is why it is believed that houses facing north are auspicious.
But a house that faces north is no guarantee of Vastu-compliance. The primary entrance, kitchen, bedrooms and other spaces need to be evaluated based on the entire floor plan of the property.
The north-facing side is the entrance for a north facing house. This side can also be further subdivided according to the traditional Vastu system, and the exact position of the door is crucial.
Instead of considering only the north facing orientation of a property, consider the location of the entrance, access to and relationship with the internal layout.
Main Bedroom
Traditionally, the south-west is regarded as the ideal spot for the master bedroom. In many Vastu interpretations it is associated with stability and grounding.
Kitchen
South-East is regarded as a quality for the kitchen, and is traditionally linked to the element of fire. Because of the layout, North-West is sometimes used as an alternative to having a South-East kitchen.
Living Room
Depending on the house design, the living room will be located inside the house. In a traditional Vastu evaluation, the North, East and North-East are taken into account while designing open spaces or spaces that are used by many people.
Prayer/Meditation Space
The North-East is always known for prayer, reflection and spiritual activities. If possible, residential properties can maintain a fairly unobstructed and undisturbed space.
Bathrooms and Toilets
Placement of bathrooms should be evaluated based on the total floor plan, and not separately. Practical hygiene and plumbing, ventilation and drainage needs should always be considered.
Typical Vastu guidelines are:
These guidelines are traditional, not scientifically proven predictors of financial success, health or relationships with family members.
In Dubai, the properties that are already established are typically given locked access, and their structure and plumbing are already in place. This can also cause extensive renovation to be costly or not feasible.
A Vastu assessment can consider the following: property orientation, entrance, placement of rooms and furniture before making suggestions for changes. If you are buying, checking the floor plan first can be helpful in deciding whether there are any issues you should be aware of before making a purchase.
