residence is converted into office itself.

kept in mind:

head can face East, North or Northeast.

- The sofas and the chairs should be placed in such a way that the
visitors should face South or West.
For the offices, the following things should be considered:
- Reception should be in Ground floor and should face towards East or
North.
- On one side of the corridor, officers chambers should be
constructed and on other side halls for the staff should be provided.
- Lifts may be placed near staircase.
- All the storage of files or dump material should be placed in the
southwest corner of the basement.
- Power generators should be kept in the Southeast side of the
building.
- Cashiers room or the cash chest should be in the North side of
the building.
- The finance and the account portion should be in the north, northeast
or the east zone.

us. If they are above our heads when we are sitting or sleeping, then
they may cause heaviness, depression or headaches. If they are above our
