South in vastu
A house facing this way
A south-facing house is a good house; about one house in four faces south. The heavy side vastu speaks of is the south part of a plan, where bedrooms and storage go. Which way the house faces is a different question.
This part of the house
- Sits well here
- Master bedroom, Staircase
- The element
- Earth
The heavy side of a plan: bedrooms, staircases and storage go here.
A house that differs from the ideal is still a good house.
How this is worked out
This direction reads as Earth. That is where its placements come from: a room goes where its element goes, which is why the scheme holds together rather than being a list to memorise.
We will not tell you to move a wall, a door, a kitchen or a bathroom. Structural changes cost a great deal, are frequently irreversible, and no page that has never seen your home is in a position to recommend one.
