Many families in Bareilly want their new home to follow Vastu. For some it is a matter of faith, for others it is family tradition, and for many it is simply peace of mind while spending a large sum on a house. Whatever the reason, it is a legitimate wish, and a good designer plans around it the way they plan around any serious client preference.
MTBoss is a design and construction company based at Harthala, Kanth Road, Moradabad, serving Bareilly and Moradabad. This page explains how Vastu-friendly design works in practice: How to prepare, where Vastu and good design agree, how conflicts are resolved and what to look out for. We follow your preferences and make no claims about luck, health or wealth, and nothing here depends on them.
Service Details and Benefits
Vastu Shastra is a traditional Indian system of guidelines about the orientation and layout of buildings, often linked to directions. A Vastu architect, in everyday use, is a designer who plans a building to follow the Vastu preferences you choose, alongside the usual duties of structure, approvals and construction drawings.
Two roles are often mixed up, so it helps to separate them.
- The architect or designer plans the building: Layout, structure coordination, drawings, approvals and construction support
- The Vastu consultant gives traditional guidance on direction and placement, based on their own training and school of thought
- You decide which advice to follow and how strictly
Consultants sometimes disagree with each other, and that is normal. If you already have a family consultant, bring them in before the concept is frozen, so the designer can plan around their advice.
Six Decisions to Make Before Concept Design
A short list of decisions keeps the process calm.
- How much Vastu matters to you, and whether it is a firm rule or a preference
- Whose guidance you follow, whether your own family consultant or advice from the design team
- Your must-haves, such as the pooja room position or the kitchen direction
- Your flexible items, where you can accept a compromise
- Your elders' views, since agreeing early avoids arguments later
- Your priorities when things conflict, such as light, budget, parking or privacy
Write these down on one page. Our designers then show layout options with a short note on how each one meets your stated preferences.
Getting the Direction Right
Everything in Vastu depends on direction, so measurement comes first. A phone compass or an ordinary magnetic compass can mislead near steel, wires and vehicles. A reliable reading is taken away from metal, checked against the site survey and cross-checked with a map or satellite view. The plot's facing is normally named after the side its main road touches, though traditions differ on corner plots. We record the orientation on the survey and share it with you and your consultant, so everyone works from the same reading.
Where Vastu and Good Design Agree
Several commonly cited Vastu ideas match sensible climate-aware design, so following both costs little.
- Morning light in living areas and good cross-ventilation suit comfort in any tradition
- An open or airy centre, such as a courtyard or light well, helps heat escape and brings in daylight
- A kitchen with ventilation on an outer wall is both practical and commonly recommended
- Heavy storage on the west or south walls acts as a buffer against afternoon heat
- An uncluttered, welcoming entrance is good in every case
- Thinking about the sun's path early improves every design
Where the two agree, you lose nothing by honouring both.
Commonly Cited Placements by Direction
The list below summarises placements often mentioned in popular Vastu guidance. Practitioners and regional schools differ, so treat it as a starting conversation and not a rulebook, and confirm with your own consultant.
- North-east: Pooja room, water source and open space
- East and north: Main entrance, living areas and windows
- South-east: Kitchen
- South-west: Master bedroom and heavy storage
- North-west: Guest room, toilets and storage
- Centre of the plot: Kept open or light
Plots seldom allow every item at once, which is where the next section matters.
How Do We Resolve Conflicts With Light, Structure and Rules?
When a preference collides with something else, we decide in a sensible order.
- Safety and structure first. Column positions, load paths and staircase safety cannot be traded
- Approvals and local rules next. Setbacks, coverage, height and parking come from the sanctioning authority, and no placement preference overrides them
- Daylight, ventilation and daily function. Rooms must work for the people using them
- Plumbing and services. Stacks, drains and shafts need practical routes
- Your Vastu preferences, honoured as far as the points above allow
We then tell you plainly where a preference can only be met in part, and offer alternatives. A dark, cramped room that technically sits in the “right” direction defeats the purpose of having a good home.
Typical Conflict Cases and Practical Answers
- A plot that faces the “wrong” way. Ask your consultant what, if anything, is recommended for that facing. Often the answer lies in how the entrance, setbacks and internal rooms are arranged, not in changing the plot.
- A staircase wanted in one corner while the structure suggests another. We test both against the structural grid and the plan's flow before fixing it.
- A kitchen in the preferred direction with no outside wall. We look for an exhaust route or an alternative that keeps ventilation, since a windowless kitchen is a real problem whatever the tradition.
- Toilets in a preferred zone versus plumbing runs. We aim to stack wet areas and balance that against your preferred zones.
- A pooja room beside a bathroom wall. We keep a respectful distance from wet walls where the plan allows.
- A master bedroom in a preferred corner on a small plot. We check room size, light and ventilation, so the room is comfortable as well as correctly placed.
Plot Shape, Slope and Neighbours
Traditional guidance often favours regular plots and has views on slope and nearby features. Real plots in Bareilly are frequently irregular, corner-cut or sloping. A sensible approach is to measure the plot accurately before judging it, ask your consultant what, if anything, needs adjusting, look at practical answers within the design, and avoid expensive corrective work unless there is also a structural or safety reason for it.
Plans for Different Plots and Buildings
- Compact city plots. Space is tight, so every placement decision is a trade-off. Prioritise your must-haves and let flexible items give way to light and ventilation.
- Corner plots.Two road sides raise questions about facing and entrance. Share your consultant's view with us early.
- Larger plots and villas. More room usually means more freedom to meet your preferences and still plan courtyards, gardens and parking.
- Builder floors and apartments. Placement is limited by the plot and the structure, so agree what matters most before design begins.
- Shops, offices and factories.Owners often ask about entrance direction, the owner's seating and cash counter position. In commercial buildings, customer flow, fire exits, accessibility and approval rules take priority, and we look for layouts that satisfy both your preferences and the business logic.
Existing Homes and Renovation
Many owners want to adjust a house that already stands. Be careful here.
- Start with low-impact changes, such as room use, furniture positions and doorways
- Avoid major structural changes for Vastu alone, because moving staircases, columns or load-bearing walls needs a structural engineer and carries real cost and risk
- Check whether changes alter the sanctioned plan and need fresh permission
- Weigh the cost against your confidence in the advice
Our website lists building renovation and architecture and interior services, which can carry out agreed changes.
Interiors and Furniture Placement
Vastu guidance often extends to furniture and fittings, such as bed orientation, the position of the dining table or the direction a person faces when cooking or studying. These are easy to plan during design, when sockets, wardrobes and doors are still flexible. Tell us which items matter to you, and we will plan the layouts, conduits and joinery around them.
Advice to Be Careful With
Be cautious when anyone:
- Promises wealth, health, marriage or business results
- Uses fear, such as a “dosh” that will harm the family, to push expensive work
- Recommends demolishing or moving structural elements without an engineer's opinion
- Sells remedies or objects at high prices with no explanation
- Contradicts earlier advice without giving reasons
- Claims that building rules or approvals can be set aside
Good advice is explained, proportionate and open to a second opinion.

Costs and Fees
Vastu adds discussion time, mainly at the concept stage, and sometimes an extra layout option or two. Fees depend on plot size, stages hired, number of revisions and the level of detail, and a separate consultant's fee, if you hire one, is usually billed separately. The Budget Calculator on our website gives an early idea of construction cost, and we keep the design fee and the construction price separate so you can compare other builders.
