If you have the proper knowledge of engineering geometry, then you can create a home plan as per vastu. engineering geometry

Vastu shastra principles for house design( Vastu for house plan )
Indian vastu shastra has detailed descriptions of design principles, layout, measurements, ground preparation, space arrangement and planning, and spatial geometry. It can be decoded to steps of vastu for house plan. Now, how do we apply this Ancient science of architecture to design a modern house? Before creating a vastu house plan, We must know the following principles of vastu vidya.
1. Site selection and measurements of the site:
The land is an essential requirement for any building, and utmost care should be taken in its selection. As per Vastu shastra, square and rectangular shapes are considered auspicious, wherea triangular, polygonal, and other odd shapes are inauspicious. Land with low soil density is preferable for a home.
Actual dimension and direction are the key requirements before starting a Home design, as per vastu shastra. An image of a typical plot is given below where each side of that plot measures correctly. For more accuracy, any diagonal or corner measurements are essential.
2. Determination of direction :
It is essential to know the right direction for planning a building, according to vastu shastra. In ancient days gnomon is used for determining the east-west line. A cone sat on the ground to observe its shadow throughout the day to determine the actual East-West line. Today we have a magnetic compass, and we can easily find the north direction. But vastu direction is not always the same as magnetic north. It may differ from place to place. The magnetic compass needle often fluctuates by electric line, iron, etc. Therefore you need to be careful when using a magnetic compass.
3. Effects of 32 main entrances:
The location of the main entrance is significant for the vastu plan. There are a total of 32 entrances on all four sides. Eight main entrances on each side.
For vastu home design, only 9 (Nine) doors are auspicious among 32 entrances. For north facing house plan, Soma, Bhallat, and Mukhya pada are considered auspicious.
Jayant and Mahendra pada are auspicious for east facing house plan.
Vitatha and Grihakhat are the two pada in the South, which is considered auspicious for south facing house plan.
On the west side, two pada named Pushadant and Sugreev are good entrances for west facing house plan, Varun Pada is also considered an auspicious door location for west facing property.
Calculation of 32 nos main entrance:
Total degree = 360 Total sides = 4 ( East, South, West, North ) Total entrance = 32 Each Side = 360 / 4 = 90 degrees.
Each side entrance = 32/4 = 8 nos. Each entrance measurement : 90/8 = 11.25 degree.

4. Casting of Vastu Purusha Mandala
The casting of the vastu Purusha mandala one of the vital steps for vastu planning and design. All vastu text mentions a graphical representation of deity on a vastu space ( I. E Plot ). Forty-five invisible energy fields are distributed in a different area of your vastu space. Design should be done after adequately superimposing the Vastu Purusha Mandal on the plot. The Vastu Purusha Mandal is the master grid of vastu plans and design.
5. 16 Zones ( As per Vishwakarma Prakash)
For vastu house planning, determining 16 zones is an essential step. This step divides the whole build-up into 16 (Sixteen) equal angular segments. Each zone has its attributes and effect. The placement of bedrooms, toilets, stairs, kitchen, dining, drawing room, living room, and interior depends on 16 Zones. The concept of 16 zones is taken from Viswakarma Prakash Book.
Calculation of 16 Zones:- In the polar method entire area is under 360 degrees. If the built-up area divided by 16 (sixteen angular segments ) [ i.e 360 / 16 = 22.5 degree ] , 16 zones are formed.
6. Ayadi Calculation for vastu plan and design.
To determine the length and breadth ratio (built-up area), Ayadi points( Aya, Var, Ansha, Dravya, Vyaya, Nakshatra, Tithi, Yog, Aayu ) have to check. The following image shows the nine ayadi calculations derived from Viswakarma Prakash.
