Hello Ramakrishna M, This question sounds more for a structural engineer. Also you will need to check if it is legal to do it in your house in the first place especially if you are planning to make an RCC staircase. An Interior designer can help to beautify your space and provide advice on the planning at the max. I could not answer your question directly but hope it puts you in a better direction.

Hi Deepasri, If you follow Vaastu, then I recommend that you have the Pooja room facing East. God’s idol should either face east or west. Expand your current pooja room to a study room that is accessible from your master bedroom or make it a store room where u keep ladder, travel bags,etc to be accessible from hall. And put the Pooja room next to it facing East in the hall.

Warlike Tiger, Good Morning. Whats your dilemma. Is it the budget, design plan or availability of a professional to do it? Either of that would require a site study, without that it is not possible to estimate the plans or costs or even a realistic design plan. If you are keen , you can search for professionals in this forum and contact them or leave your number for interested architects to call you. However, this idea of building the second story and then breaking the lower floor walls is not feasible. It is a hilly area and you should be all the more cautious with the foundation. Hope this helps! Amit CORNERSTONE DESIGNS Bangalore.

What about if I build pillar along with plinth beam for 6 locations and beam over that is it required?
