Tsilanko, I would always recommend professional installation where needed. But what I am doing here is suggesting that WHEN you are planning to build or renovate, to consider how your plans will affect you in 20 or 30 years time. Split levels are very hep when you are young. A kitchen 3 steps down at 30 is rarely a problem, but might be a hazard at 60, or, as Marjie1059 suggested, if you break a leg. ... All my parents' homes were terrible for old people. They were forced to move to a bungalow in extreme old sge because the location and design of their home was more suitable for an active young couple with a large family than for an elderly couple with stroke disabilities. I would not want to move again, so my present home has features built in that make ageing in place simpler. Mostly small changes, like grab rails, and lever handles on doors and faucets. A major disability suddenly suffered requires major changes if permanent. I did look at this because it came up in the discussion, but if you look at the heading, Planning for Disability, it means just that. Plan ahead so you don't have to make expensive changes later on. But thank you for your advice, yes, major changes are not in the DIY domain.

Hello there, It seems you're in for a comprehensive vaastu compliant housing. Best of luck with your project. Let's see how it woks : 1. Number of windows and doors should be even when summed up. That is one principle. When you translate into modern architecture, they transform into cut-outs. Hence, however you design, the number of cut-out elements should be odd. That includes windows, doors, stairwell openings, central courtyard, vents and chutes, design cut-outs etc. That applies to all buildings irrespective of their styles because only with even symmetry, you could achieve a greater flux of cross-ventilation. 2. Other significant points to consider are ratio of door to window size, orientation, placement of furniture wrt windows and doors, main entrance vastu etc. Regards, Aurum Ideas and Spaces Bhubaneswar

Hi Farooq According to the plan given above as specified the bathroom size made with an incorrect design as its door opens just while entering the bedroom area and it can be good if it will be made a bit away from the entrance of the bedroom. Maybe the door of the bathroom should face the master bed then it can be considerable. The Hall area is okay but it doesn't need a requirement of a separate drawing area, It's better you can use that space as a whole and make it a grand living room or something which can make the room look large enough The main door should be made at the W marked side as it can open to the parking area and also doesn't obstruct the given design whatsoever. I Hope this might help I hope this might help please connect @liveuphomes Thanks

Thanks @Hyphen Design for your response..I am interested in having temporary partition design not a permanent one as the drawing area is not quite large and we would like to have more space to move around..
