How does the shape of a plot impact a homes environment according to Vastu?
A plot's shape can significantly affect the environment of a home, according to Vastu Shastra, an ancient Indian system of building and design. The rectangular form, with longer sides facing north-south and shorter sides facing east-west, is thought to be the most advantageous for a plot. Plots with unusual shapes, such as L-shaped or triangular ones, are viewed less favorably because they produce energy flow imbalances that could have detrimental effects like stress, health problems, and money difficulties. Designing a Vastu-compliant home also takes into account other elements like the orientation of the house within the lot, the placement of the rooms, the direction of the windows, and the placement of the kitchen and restroom.
