Vastu Guidelines for Basement | | | |
The construction of basement has become the need of time due to limited space available for residence. Though a vacant space under the house is not considered auspicious according to Vastu, yet some points are considered while constructing a basement.
Vastu says to build basement in northern or eastern portion of the house. It is necessary to keep more vacant space in the North and East than in the south and west. Keeping this in view, the basement in north and east direction is beneficial. Ideally, basement should not be built under entire house.
Basement should not be used for residential purpose. It can be used as store room and office. The interior of basement should follow principles of Vastu. Vastu says that more space should be vacant in northern and eastern portion of the basement. Place heavy equipments in southern and western side. An odd shaped basement causes loss in business, diseases and hinders the flow of energy to the owner. Rectangular and square shapes are auspicious for basement.
Some people use basement as storage tank of water. Storage of water in basement would always be auspicious in north-east, north-west and at eastern and northern angles. If the position of water tank is changed from this direction, it may cause adverse effect on health.
North-east of basement should be kept light, big and heavy things should not be placed there. Northwest of basement should be lighter than south-east. Heavy material should be kept in south, south-west and west direction.

| | By Sandra - On 4/22/2010 5:21:57 PM | | In my house, having road in North and West, entrance facing North, which is under construction with structure already complete, I've a 8 ft. high basement consisting of 2 rooms which is 3 ft. below the road. One in NE direction below the living and other in SE direction under d kitchen. I have now read that having a basement beneath d kitchen is not good. With scarcity of space, my heart breaks thinking of filling the entire room with earth. Was wondering if 1) I should fill in the eastern and southern portion of the room in SE direction and leave the other portion in the NW and use it as a storeroon. This room is accessed from the NE room of basement. 2) Is the NE room in basement okay if it is accessed from the northern side from the garden. The basement has no access from the house but only from externally. Wish to use it as a games room. Please help me. |

| | By creators_delhi - On 2/23/2010 5:28:56 PM | | IT is a good and knowledgeable article. we have excavated our built house to make a basement on the north east corner of our house. we are using it as a store/godown. Over that we have made our office. please suggest me some tips in order to increase our productivity and income through our office. Kindly avoid describing anything negative as it would not be possible for us to change the basic structure. and if there is some problem in all this please tell the remedy. thanks. |
