Architecture and House Plans for Mrs. Lakshmi, Bangalore
Architecture and Interior Design by Architect. Ashwin Ananth from Bangalore.
Residential home designed for Mrs. Lakshmi, Bangalore
Client’s background:
Family of 3, consisting of self, husband & daughter.
Well educated, well informed and widely traveled. Husband being a professor at IIM and Mrs. Lakshmi being a school teacher in the renowned Delhi Public School.
Very social by nature having strong familial ties
Architecture and interior design of the house plan to be made considering frequent inflow of friends & relatives
Yet provide each family member private space to unwind to pursue their own interests
Client’s requirements:
A contemporary home design with new architectural concepts
Attached bath, sit-outs, barbecue space and servant’s living unit
A 3 bedroom duplex residence with attached study for their daughter’s room
The Architect’s challenges:
South Facing site of size 40′ x 50′
Narrow access road posing limitations to visibility of the home
Massive houses in excess of 30′ height surrounding the plot on east, north & west
Close proximity of northern and eastern neighbors requiring smart design strategy
Architecture and house plan façade design to be as per Vaastu
Principles of Vaastu Shastra:
Vastu Shastra (vāstu śāstra, also Vastu Veda, “science of construction”, “architecture”) is a traditional Hindu system of design based on directional alignments. It is primarily applied in Hindu architecture, especially for Hindu temples, although it covers other applications, including poetry, dance, sculpture, etc. The foundation of Vastu is traditionally ascribed to the mythical sage Mamuni Mayan. While Vastu had long been essentially restricted to temple architecture, there has been a revival in India in recent decades, notably under the influence of V. Ganapati Sthapati of Chennai, Tamil Nadu (b. 1927), who has been campaigning for a restoration of the tradition in modern Indian society since the 1960s.

Here are some prominent vaastu guidelines:
Vastu for kitchen: Right place is the south-east corner or an alternative is the north-west corner
Vastu for Bedroom: The right direction to set your master bedroom is on south-west
Vastu for Bathroom: The best location for bathroom is the eastern part of the home.
General vastu tips:
Design house to admit bright light into the main doorway
Plan house to allow 5 doors with maximum opening
Keep corners of the home bright
Design bedroom where wind blows from south to west
Windows should open out
House architecture and designs to avoid: oval, circular, or triangle
House should never be disturbed by obstructive buildings
The Architect designed this house layout to successfully incorporate all these challenges and requirements of the client. Even the color scheme was experimented with as it was found too drastic for this architect’s comfort on the model itself. However, the architect and his team arrived at the conclusion that because the model was very crude, the colors were not in harmony. Hence, extra care was taken at the time of plastering to get exact plumb levels, true walls & perfect right angles & edges as the façade depended heavily on the skill of the masons.
This is an architectural design implemented to the minutest details. And needles to say, the new home and residence of Mrs. Lakshmi looks fabulous.
