East-facing 30×40 ft house plan in Chennai
A 30×40 ft plot (1,200 ft², about 2.8 cents) with the road on its east side. East-facing plots are the most sought-after facing in Tamil Nadu — morning sun on the entrance and the easiest orientation to satisfy classic Vastu placements, which usually shows up in the asking price.
Where the rooms go on an east-facing plot
Vastu corners are compass-fixed — what changes with facing is where they land relative to your road. On an east-facing plot the road is the east side, so:
| Room | Vastu corner | On this plot |
|---|---|---|
| Pooja room | North-east (Ishanya) | front, toward the north |
| Kitchen | South-east (Agni) | front, toward the south |
| Master bedroom | South-west | rear, toward the south |
| Staircase | South or west side | rear, toward the south |
These are the same placements Plot2Plan's design-checks card scores a generated plan against — advisory guidance, never a legality rule.
Sun, entrance and the east road
The front of the house gets gentle morning sun and is shaded through Chennai's hot afternoons — verandas and front rooms stay usable all day.
The main door opens on the east (road) wall. Vastu tradition favours positioning it toward the north-east half of that wall, which also keeps it clear of the kitchen's south-east corner.
Setbacks & buildable area
Facing changes the orientation, not the by-law numbers: side and rear setbacks stay 1.5 m, the front setback (on the east wall) depends on the road width, FSI stays 2 and the height cap 12 m. On a typical 30 ft road that leaves roughly a 20.2×25.2 ft footprint (~509 ft² per floor) and up to 2,400 ft² of total built-up area. Full road-band tables are on the 30×40 plot guide.
