Vastu Tips for Pre existing House Design

Vastu is a traditional Indian system of architecture originating in India. It describes principles of design, layout, measurements, ground preparation, space arrangement, and spatial geometry. The designs aim to integrate architecture with nature, the relative functions of various parts of the structure, and ancient beliefs utilizing geometric patterns, symmetry, and directional alignments.

People who believe in Vaastu shastra think that the universe is made of five things:

Earth (Bhumi)
Water (Jal)
Air (Vayu)
Fire (Agni)
Space (Akasha)

Vastu Shastra are a set of  Ancient Rules Given by Our Sages to Improve the Quality of Our Lives By Proper Use of the 5 Elements of Nature.

Making It Light By AAC Blocks



Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) is a lightweight, precast, foam concrete building material suitable for producing concrete masonry unit (CMU) like blocks. Composed of quartz sand, calcined gypsum, lime, cement, water and aluminum powder, AAC products are cured under heat and pressure in an autoclave. Invented in the mid-1920s, AAC simultaneously provides structure, insulation, and fire- and mold-resistance. Forms include blocks, wall panels, floor and roof panels, cladding (façade) panels and lintels.

AAC products may be used for both interior and exterior construction, and may be painted or coated with a stucco or plaster compound to guard against the elements, or covered with siding materials such as veneer brick or vinyl siding. In addition to their quick and easy installation, ACC materials can be routed, sanded, or cut to size on site using standard power tools with carbon steel cutters.
