Details of the 28' x 42' east facing 4BHK House Plan

Q1. What was the family's requirement for the project?

This house is located in a residential neighborhood with a road-facing east side. The road-facing main gate makes entry direct, and the east-facing orientation aligns well with Vastu principles. The family wanted a practical, single-floor 2BHK house that fits in their 28′-3″ wide × 42′-7″ deep plot. The priorities were simple; they wanted an open drawing and dining areas with two separate bedrooms, a mandir area without sacrificing floor space and a dedicated parking space. Our Architect, Vidya Bhushan went for smart ventilation using OTS.

Q2. What were the design considerations for this project?

This is a corner plot with main gate and parking on the north-east corner. We designed the opening of the entry to the drawing room, followed by the dining area and the kitchen. Since the client wanted a mandir area without sacrificing floor space, we placed it near the dining for spiritual focus. The client wanted two bedrooms- one with an attached bathroom, and the other near the common bathroom. The family wanted enough ventilation for the house, so we designed two OTS (Open-To-Sky) shafts that provide air and light to internal areas.

Q3. What was the project cost, and how did you achieve it?

The project cost was between 40-45 lakhs. The cost went higher with quality materials because the family didn't want to compromise with the quality of their house. However, using local materials and labor did cut down the expense.

The key to completing the project on time and within budget was proper planning. Everything was planned, from the layout to material selection, vendor management, labor management, and our architect, Vidya Bhushan assisted greatly in making these decisions. To keep costs down, we sourced the majority of the materials locally.

Q4. Is this layout practical?

Yes, this house is absolutely practical. Our Architect, Vidya Bhushan made sure of that by:

• Efficient zoning: Bedrooms are separated from the public drawing area for privacy purpose.

• Privacy: Common and attached toilets prevent conflict during guest visits.

• Compact circulation: No wasted corridors.

• Ventilation: Two OTS (Open-To-Sky) shafts for internal ventilation of air and light.

• Future-ready: The plot shape and plan allow staircase addition for duplex.
