The Evolution and Impact of Architecture: Blending Art and Functionality

  This is something that homeowners often believe: "Modern designs go against Vaastu rules." Having worked in the designing of residential buildings in Hyderabad for 14 years and more, we could state that it is not always so. However, it just requires some correct planning from the beginning. Where this misunderstanding comes from? People associate Vaastu with a set of rules and requirements that are applied to an existing layout, which is often impossible.

Why this is more efficient than one might think There are many Vaastu rules that are consistent with best practices of architecture. Orienting the entrance to the East, kitchen placement for avoiding heat accumulation and designing the house so that it could be ventilated naturally are typical exampl...

  Building a home in Hyderabad is exciting—but without the right planning, costs can quickly go out of control. Two factors decide whether your project stays smooth or stressful: the architect you work with and how accurately you estimate your construction budget .
