Commercial Complex

In the fast developing world these days the population is also increasing rapidly, so that the small towns and cities are changing into metropolitan cities There is scarcity of land in the cities and the business is growing and expanding very fast. Therefore, huge multi-storied buildings for commercial organisations are being constructed and the number of such complexes is increasing fast day by day. Production has increased very much, and the factories have to open their offices and show rooms at various places for marketing their products. Therefore buildings for these commercial purposes have become a necessity. Most of the factories appoint agents for the sale of their products. The business men have to establish an office of the agency, which is located mostly in some multi-storied commercial complex.

In the construction of multi-storied commercial complexes all the principles of Vaastu-Shastra can not be followed so easily as in case of residential houses. The builder of such complexes wants to utilize each and every corner of the space available for construction leaving any space open, without any construction there may not be profitable to the builder. Commercial complexes which are constructed in accordance with the rules of Vaastu-Shastra become popular and prove to be beneficial and profitable to the business that is carried on from that campus. Therefore commercial complexes should also be constructed according to the principles of Vaastu Shastra.

First of all only square or rectangular plot should be selected. Buildings constructed on such plots are auspicious and beneficial to the owner, and help in successful and profitable business.

While constructing building on the plot, enough open space should be left all around. There should be more open space on the north and east than that on the south and west respectively.

APARTMENTS AND FLATS

Apartments and the flats is now a very common sight in the big cities, thanks to the population explosion.

These buildings are populated by a large number of people within a limited space. Besides such constructions are also proving economical while maximum utilization of the space is achieved.

Here again, while building multistoried apartments and flats, attention must be paid to the plot of land and it's location. East facing and north facing plots are excellent for such types of construction. But it should be noted that it is not possible to apply each and every principle of VAASTU Shastra to the construction of apartments and flats. Still it is necessary to excavate unwanted buried matter from the earth and follow common VAASTU principles.

1. Principles regarding the land are equally applicable everywhere. Hence selection of land and excavation of unwanted buried matter must be conducted as per the dictates of VAASTU Shastra.
2. Height of the last storey must necessarily be somewhat less than that of the first storey.
3. Open space must be left all around the building. There should be more open space in the north and the east while in the west and the south it should be maximum.

7. Car parking and common lawn etc. should be developed in the north-eastern direction.
8. While building multistoried flats, big hotels or cinema halls, ample open space must be given in front of the building. Two separate gates should be provided for the entry and exit.
9. Design of multistoried buildings should be such that the inmates of the lower floors could also get sufficient sun and fresh air.
10. Lift must be provided near the staircase in the multistoried buildings. Stairs should have a dextral rotation.
11. Water storage tank must be installed in the north-eastern corner of the roof in the multistoried buildings. Borewell can be used as a source of water. Drainage must be covered.
12. South-western corner of a multistorey building should be higher the rest of the constructions.
13. Each flat on every floor in a multistorey building should be provided with enough ventilators and windows.
14. Kitchen in each flat must be given in the south-east corner.
15. Toilet and bathroom in each flat must be built in the south-west corner or in the south direction.
16. Length and breadth of each flat should be exactly equal i.e. the flat should preferably have a square shape.
17. Generator, electric switchboards, transformer etc. should be installed outside the apartments in the south-eastern corner.
18. There should be no plants or trees exactly in front of the main gate. If you wish, you may plant basil and sandal in an open space.
19. Playground and garden should be developed in the north or in the east of the apartment.
20. Balconies too should be provided in the north or in the east.
21. Security room must be built in the north or in the south.
