hi, general the 7 feet, your architect is right, he is trying to give you a grand and luxurious openings, i mean all from entrance to bathroom doors, i have done this before for a bungalow project. once you do interiors, sizes get shortened by wall cladding and framing to the doors. make sure you ceiling heights are more than conventional 8'9" or so.

Following are my comments : 1.Buying cheaper branded sanitary fittings is only possible when you buy the same in bulk quantities. But I would like to highlight that these are one of the most important fixtures in the stated space. Don't compromise on the quality of it if you want them to survive the long run.(You can go for the Jaquar continental series or change to Parryware) You can certainly compromise on the WC & the WB since even brands like Somany give good ceramic fixtures at relatively low cost. There you can save your bucks. 2. I haven't worked on PVC vanity but can comment that marine ply cabinets also stand well for the wear and tear. 3. You can go ahead with just the glass partition avoiding the cubicle door. 4. Yes you can but the selection should be on the lighter side of the colour palette so that the bathroom should not look more claustrophobic due to its small size(2 m x 3.5m which is normal in today's real estate market in mumbai).

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
