Two premium independent homes on a stilt + 2 structure. One refined plan, built twice — tuned to each occupant's horoscope.
Both upper floors share the same premium layout and finish. The first floor is the second-floor plan adapted to Thangam's horoscope. The two homes differ only in their Vāstu tuning and the central light-court + roof lantern, which sit on Venkat's floor only.
An end plot of about 44 × 39 ft (≈ 1,716 sq ft), reached by a single private path at the SW corner — the best, coolest daylight comes from the North & East.
Outcome-based requirements (what the home must do / have). Exact positions, room dimensions, Vāstu placement and structure are left to the architect, structural engineer and Vāstu consultant — to be confirmed against the legal survey and the CMDA-sanctioned layout.
A handful of choices drive the whole design — from how the cars move to how the light arrives.
Both cars — each the size of a Toyota Fortuner — must park and leave independently. Either drives out without moving the other, turning entirely within the plot.
The stilt sits well back (~986 sq ft) so cars turn freely; the upper floors project boldly out to ~1,326 sq ft each — and shade the parking and entrance.
Two sumps, two borewells, two water motors, two meters — each home is financially independent. Only the structure and core are shared.
A central open light-court brings daylight and stack-ventilation into Venkat's floor, capped by a pyramidal glazed roof lantern with a finial.
A recessed, shoe-off entry vestibule with seating and a secure grill gate — leave the main doors open for cross-ventilation while staying secure.
Hollow clay-brick walls that stand up to water and sun and suit the coastal climate, with double-wall air gaps on the hot west and south faces.
A lift serves every floor — the shaft provided from day one — with step-free access and elderly-friendly design, plus EV- and solar-ready provisions throughout.
Both floors are finished to the same apartment-grade standard. They differ only in Vāstu tuning and the owner's light-court.

Premium in both homes — built for Chennai's heat, humidity and salt air.
Accounted for in the masonry and electrical drawings — so no surface-wiring or cramped retrofits later.
For horoscope calculation. Place of birth — Mudukulathur, Tamil Nadu (both occupants).
Legal survey + soil test — boundaries, bearing capacity, foundation and plinth level.
Setbacks, FSI, height limit and regularisation of the private path access.
Confirm the family's actual vehicle sizes against the parking requirement.
Engage a Vāstu practitioner to fix the exact entry and room placements on the dimensioned drawing.
Detailed floor plans, elevations and sanction drawings to be produced by the appointed architect from these requirements and the reference images. This document is the brief, not the drawing set. Plan B (CMDA fallback): if any additional floor is rejected, revert to this stilt + 2 structure.
