Light, while being a major source of energy, provides us with the means to reveal spaces and volumes and interact with our environment. Light and shadow are important in creating balance in a space which leads the space to be dynamic. Hence both these aspects are essential in achieving dynamism within a space and changing the perception of the space....

There is a need to create privacy in the case of some residences located in compact neighborhoods, where the orientation of the views, screens and courtyards, as well as internal landscape designs are considered. Little gardens, decks, water bodies, sculpture court, sky lit balconies and terrace gardens are all designed to enhance its spatial feel.

Vastu has come to be an important element in this modern world and is designed and executed accordingly, here, in Inventarchitects. Even the contemporary houses are given a traditional touch by confirming to this ancient Indian design principles regarding space, sunlight, flow and function. In order to follow a strictly Vastu compliant house, the placement of spaces in the house are in sync with the plan of the Vastu Shastra (the ancient Indian science of orientation and placement).....

Thus apart from positioning the main areas of the house according to the elements; Master bedroom in the Earth zone (SW), kitchen in the Fire zone (SE), and the pool and entrance in the Water zone and Air zones (N and NE), even positions of doors, the direction of the stairs, location of beds, wardrobes and desks and the positions of the WC’s in the bathrooms had to be in accordance with the correct energy flows.

In today’s fast-paced, high-tech world, it may seem that traditional architectural wisdom has little space. Yet, in India—and increasingly worldwide—ancient design knowledge like Vastu Shastra and Ayadi Shastra is being reinterpreted through the lens of modern materials, lifestyles, and climate needs....

The result? A beautiful synergy where heritage meets innovation, forming spaces that are aesthetically pleasing, functionally intelligent, and emotionally grounding.
Let’s explore how time-honored design elements seamlessly align with contemporary architecture, enhancing comfort, sustainability, and cultural continuity.

1. Central Courtyard (Mutram): The Heart of the Home
Traditional Insight: In Vastu and Dravidian traditions, the Mutram is the sacred void that channels energy, light, and air. It symbolizes the Brahmasthan (cosmic center) and serves as a spiritual and social hub.
Modern Application: Courtyards today act as light wells, thermal chimneys, and gathering zones. They help in passive cooling, reduce energy bills, and improve indoor air quality.
Practical Benefits: • Better ventilation • Natural lighting • Energetic harmony • Social space

2. Orientation of Openings: Aligning with Nature’s Rhythm
Traditional Insight: Openings were placed according to cardinal directions. East welcomes the sun, North invites prosperity, while South and West are minimized to avoid harsh heat.
Modern Application: Strategic orientation supports natural lighting and cross-ventilation, crucial for energy-efficient design—especially in tropical and subtropical climates.
Practical Benefits: • Energy savings • Brighter interiors • Seasonal adaptability

3. Floor Heights: Room to Breathe
Traditional Insight: Older homes had ceilings up to 15 feet high to allow hot air to rise and keep living spaces cooler. It was also seen as auspicious from a vastu standpoint.
Modern Application: Today’s homes adopt 10–12 feet high ceilings for a balance of spatial comfort and energy control, maintaining airflow and offering a sense of openness.
Practical Benefits: • Cooler interiors • Air stratification • Spacious ambiance

4. Room Placement: The Vastu Grid Reimagined
Traditional Insight: Room functions were laid out based on the Vastu Purusha Mandala, a sacred spatial grid—e.g., kitchens in the Southeast, master bedrooms in the Southwest, and pooja rooms in the Northeast.
Modern Application: Designers now adapt vastu principles to suit client needs, orientation constraints, and urban plot sizes, ensuring both tradition and functionality.
Practical Benefits: • Harmonious layout • Seamless movement • Energetic alignment

5. Windows & Openings: Framing Light and Life
Traditional Insight: Large windows on the South/West were avoided due to intense sunlight. North and East were favored for their gentle light and auspiciousness.
Modern Application: Contemporary homes use deep overhangs, louvers, and screens to control light and heat, enabling generous window placement without energy penalties.
Practical Benefits: • Balanced daylight • Cross-ventilation • Framed views

6. Transition Spaces: Buffering Beauty
Traditional Insight: Verandahs and padis served as thermal buffers and social thresholds, offering shaded spaces for rest and interaction.
Modern Application: These are now entry lobbies, semi-open decks, or garden patios, enriching both thermal comfort and social living.
Practical Benefits: •Temperature moderation • Privacy layers • Biophilic retreat
