Vastu renovations
Vastu-compliant renovations in Melbournetradition meets modern living
We plan and build renovations around Vastu Shastra principles — kitchen, bathroom, entrance and pooja room placement — while meeting Australian building standards.
Principles
Key Vastu directions we work with
Every room has an ideal directional placement under Vastu Shastra. We plan renovations so your living spaces follow these principles where your home allows.
Kitchen placement
Southeast (Agni) corner for cooking, aligning the fire element with its traditional direction.
Bathroom & toilet direction
Northwest or west placement, keeping water away from the wealth and health zones.
Main entrance
North- or east-facing entrances. Extensions and porticos can be designed to achieve this.
Master bedroom
Southwest corner for stability, with the head facing south or west while sleeping.
Pooja room
Northeast (Ishanya) corner, with proper ventilation and lighting.
Living & open plan
North or east orientation to maximise natural light.

FAQ
Common questions
Comparing quotes? Our checklist shows what a complete renovation quote should include.
Who provides the Vastu advice?
Bring your preferred Vastu consultant or pandit, or share their recommendations, and we'll turn them into a compliant design and build. We'll explain where a recommendation affects structure, plumbing or permits, and what it adds to the cost.
Can Vastu corrections be done without major renovation?
Sometimes — relocating a stove, changing a door swing or adding a water feature can address minor deficiencies. Major corrections such as moving a kitchen or changing the entrance usually need renovation. We'll tell you honestly what's achievable.
How much does a Vastu renovation cost?
It depends on scope. Relocating a kitchen to the southeast zone typically costs $25,000–$50,000, and a whole-home realignment can range from $50,000–$150,000+. You'll get a written itemised quote once the brief is clear.
Can you time the handover for an auspicious date?
Many families prefer Griha Pravesh or completion aligned with muhurat timing. Tell us your preferred date early and we'll plan the construction schedule around it wherever the build allows.
Do Australian building codes conflict with Vastu?
Rarely. Most Vastu principles concern room placement, orientation and element positioning, none of which conflict with the National Construction Code. The main challenge is working within an existing footprint, which is where design comes in.
