The factors to be considered while designing the exteriors - II
(cont...)
Compound wall: The compound is the wall that
covers the boundary of the house. The compound wall either should be of same
height and thickness in all the four sides or it will be best if it is
thicker and taller in Southern and Western sides as compared to the Northern
and Eastern sides. This is preferred as the thick wall of the South and West
sides will prevent the Infrared rays of the afternoon sun and the setting
rays of the sun, which are harmful for the humans. Light walls in North and
East sides will allow the beneficial morning rays to come and penetrate in
the house, they are full of Vitamin D and are the only source of obtaining
it. This way the South and West sides will also become heavier than the rest
which is very auspicious.
Garage / Out house: The best place to construct them is the North
West and South East corner and care should be taken not to block or
cut the corners at the South East or North West and the
quarter walls should not touch the wall at the East or North side.
Guards room: A concrete or wooden shelter is made either in
South West and the shelter should be facing the East or North but it
is important to ensure that the watchman is able to see every movement.
Over head tanks: These tanks should be placed either in
North East as water is considered good in this direction, or in South
West as the tank becomes very heavy. North East is not to be
over loaded with overhead tank though water in North East is
considered very good.
Under ground reservoir: It should always in the North
East, the place of God supreme and should never be in South East.
Another choice is East or the North zone.
Well / Bore Well / Tube Well: These should be placed
in North East or eastern sides preferably in between the mid North
and North East as it bring all round prosperity and new opportunities
for growth.
Thus, if we consider all these points, we will never make a mistake to
design a house which is against Vaastu and then the people will stop
suffering from the defects of Vaastu.
