The height of a building plays a crucial role in energy distribution, stability, and harmony within a space. According to Vastu Shastra, the proportionality and placement of height in a structure affect the flow of cosmic energy (prana), influencing prosperity, health, and well-being. Whether designing a home, office, or commercial space, understanding the principles of height in Vastu can lead to a more balanced and positive environment.
The Ideal Height Ratio in Vastu
- A building should have a balanced proportion of height and width, avoiding excessive vertical dominance unless functionally required (e.g., high-rises).
- The height of different sections of a building should be harmonized with Vastu zones for stability.
✔ Recommended ratio for residential buildings: 1:1.5 or 1:2 (Width to Height)
✔ For commercial buildings/skyscrapers: The height should be in proportion to the plot size, with a strong foundation in the Southwest for stability.
