Hi Padmaja, im pooja talwar, for maximum utilization of space u need to break in balconies if u have one and get french windows right till ground level. so you can have a lovely dining area there or low ground sitting area where u can get outside view and spacious look too. doors which open inwards or outwards can be split into 2 so the door flaps become smaller . use mirrors huge ones carved ones on walls to reflect a larger room. also u will have to place furniture which is smaller in size . shoe racks , and cabinets can be made tall instead of having it on ground .... place on the wall hanging shelves , tall cabinets , and storage cabinets. tv can be placed on wall done up with wooden pannel. have storage up on ceiling edges rather than any where down. hope these lil suggestions help you

Madhu , It is probably one in a thousand balconies that can boast of that kind of view, not sure who would have recommended enclosing that space. What's done is done. Temple location is usually decided using vastu principles. If you have to use that window we would recommend treat that adjoining wall similarly so that it looks larger as a good backdrop.

Hi Prashant, South-east corner plots are actually not good for residential purpose. It is very good for commercial purposes. But, if the house is built as per Vsstu Shastra, it can reduce the bad effects. 1. The South-East corner has to be built with a separate building like a shop, garage, small temple, E.B meter room, boiler room, separate toilet…etc. 2. Trees like Coconut tree, Neem tree, etc., can be planted in the south-east corner of the plot. 3. The kitchen must be in the south-east corner. There are many more remedies. Ground Floor : Few columns are too close to each other which is not required. As per Vastu, kitchen should be in south-east corner as this plot needs to follow Vastu strictly. A separate garage/security room need to be added to this plan. A portico will form in the north east corner as per the first floor plan which is strictly prohibited as per Vastu in south east corner plots. The planning is OK as per me, but your south east corner plot requires a lot of Vastu considerations. First Floor : If the toilet which in the north can be shifted anywhere else better go for it. In the long run, toilets can have seepage issues, which can spoil your living room roof. Generally, we prefer toilets over toilets and kitchen over kitchen. The basic reason for this is plumbing issues/to minimize the wastage of pipes. Hope this will help. Regards Prity
