Plot Overview – 22’ x 55’ East-Facing Layout
- Plot Size: 22 feet (width) × 55 feet (depth)
- Facing: East
- Total Bedrooms: 3
- Toilets: 2
- Front Lawn: 5 feet
- Front Balcony: 3 feet
- Staircase: Internal side staircase
- Vastu Compliance: Yes
The main entrance is placed on the east side, ensuring morning sunlight enters the house. East-facing homes are highly preferred according to Vastu Shastra because they invite positive energy, health, and prosperity.
Front Lawn (5 Feet) – Natural Light & Ventilation
The design begins with a 5-foot front lawn, which acts as a buffer between the road and the built structure. Even a compact lawn makes a significant difference in ventilation and aesthetics.
Benefits of this lawn space:
- Improves natural airflow
- Allows soft landscaping and greenery
- Enhances front elevation appeal
- Provides privacy from the street
This space also supports better daylight entry into the front bedroom and drawing room.

Drawing Room (18’ x 6’) – Welcoming & Vastu-Aligned
As you enter from the east-facing main door, you step into a drawing room measuring approximately 18 feet by 6 feet. The rectangular layout makes it ideal for placing a sofa set along one wall and maintaining smooth circulation.
Why this works well:
- Positioned in the front east zone (ideal for living areas as per Vastu)
- Direct access from the main entrance
- Natural light from front openings
- Separate from private bedroom areas
This layout ensures guests do not directly access private family spaces.

Bedroom 1 (12’ x 10’) – Front Bedroom
Adjacent to the drawing room, the first bedroom measures 12 feet by 10 feet. This room is perfect for:
- Master bedroom (if preferred)
- Guest bedroom
- Elderly parents’ room
It receives natural light from the front side and has good ventilation through windows aligned with the lawn side.
The room comfortably accommodates:
- Double bed
- Side tables
- Wardrobe space
- Study corner (optional)
Common Toilet (4’ x 9’) – Practical Placement
Between bedrooms, a 4 feet by 9 feet common toilet is provided. The placement is practical and accessible without disturbing privacy.
Features:
- Standard WC + wash basin layout
- Efficient plumbing alignment
- Suitable ventilation provision
Its central location ensures ease of use for guests and family members.
Bedroom 2 (12’ x 11’) – Mid-Section Bedroom
The second bedroom is slightly larger at 12 feet by 11 feet, making it ideal as the master bedroom.
Advantages:
- Located in a relatively quiet mid-section
- Balanced ventilation
- Suitable for wardrobe wall placement
As per Vastu, the southwest direction is preferred for the master bedroom. This layout allows flexibility in assigning rooms based on directional alignment of the actual site.
Bedroom 3 (10’ x 11’) – Rear Bedroom
At the rear section of the house, you’ll find a 10 feet by 11 feet bedroom.
Best suited for:
- Children’s bedroom
- Study + bedroom combination
- Rental flexibility
Its placement ensures privacy from the main entrance and drawing area.
Kitchen (6’ x 11’) – Compact & Functional
The kitchen measures 6 feet by 11 feet, designed for parallel or straight platform layout.
Key Highlights:
- Efficient working triangle
- Space for sink + cooktop
- Adequate ventilation
- Can be aligned toward southeast (ideal kitchen direction in Vastu)
Even though compact, the length of 11 feet ensures enough counter and storage space.

Dining Area – Centrally Positioned
The dining space is strategically placed near the kitchen and staircase. This ensures:
- Easy serving access
- Clear movement circulation
- Family interaction zone
Its position in the central portion makes it naturally connected to all bedrooms.
Internal Staircase – Smart Vertical Planning
The side staircase is efficiently planned within the 22-foot width. This provides:
- Future vertical expansion possibility

- Terrace access
- Structural continuity
If planning for G+1 or G+2 construction, this staircase location supports expansion without major redesign.

Balcony (3 Feet) – Practical Front Extension
A 3-foot front balcony enhances the front elevation aesthetics while maintaining structural balance.
Benefits:
- Morning sunlight exposure
- Small seating space
- Architectural depth in façade
- Improved airflow
Structural Design Considerations
The structural layout supports:
- Load-bearing walls or RCC framed structure
