North-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 north side. North-facing plots are considered nearly as auspicious as east — associated with prosperity — and practically excellent in Chennai because the facade never takes direct sun.
Where the rooms go on a north-facing plot
Vastu corners are compass-fixed — what changes with facing is where they land relative to your road. On a north-facing plot the road is the north side, so:
| Room | Vastu corner | On this plot |
|---|---|---|
| Pooja room | North-east (Ishanya) | front, toward the east |
| Kitchen | South-east (Agni) | rear, toward the east |
| Master bedroom | South-west | rear, toward the west |
| Staircase | South or west side | rear, toward the west |
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 north road
North walls receive no direct sun in Chennai's latitude, so front rooms and the entrance stay the coolest in the house year-round.
The main door opens on the north (road) wall. Tradition favours the north-east half of that wall — which conveniently is also the corner kept open and light in Vastu planning.
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 north 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.
