Ahmedabad’s skyline are changing. From luxury high-rises in Sindhu Bhavan Road to sprawling penthouses in Shela and Ambli, modern living is scaling new heights. However, for the discerning Gujarati home owner, a home isn’t just a 3D elevation or a designer modular kitchen; it’s about Urja (Energy).
Incorporating Vastu Shastra into a 4BHK penthouse or modern apartment is a tricky affair. You cannot modify the structural orientation of the building like a bungalow. Nonetheless, you can learn the internal layout that will ensure your luxury home will bring prosperity and peace.
Here is an expert guide to Vastu for high-rise living in 2026
1. The Entrance: The Gateway of Opportunity
The position of the main door in high rise apartments is usually incorrigible. In a 4BHK home, the entrance must be designed ideally in the North, North-East or East zone.
The Ahmedabad Tip: Use Vastu Pyramids or any brass strip to neutralize negative energy coming from the threshold if the plot alignment is such that the majority of modern apartments in Ahmedabad face west and South.
Make the entrance the brightest part of the house. Put a Nameplate made of wood or stone to ground the energy.
2. The Northeast (Ishan Kon): The Spiritual Hub
Northeast corner in a 4BHK penthouse is auspicious. The place should be well-lit, clean and clear.
This is the best area for your Pooja room or a meditation corner.
Having a builder who has made a balcony space here. You can convert it into a small water body or a zen garden with easy plants. Do not put heavy storage in the northeast zone or any bathrooms as it blocks the flow of wealth and clarity.
3. The Kitchen (Agni Kon): Fueling Prosperity
The Southeast is the zone of Fire. In modern 4BHK designs, “Open Kitchen” concepts are trending.
The cook should ideally face East while preparing meals.
Often, modern layouts place the sink (Water) right next to the hob (Fire). Professionally, we recommend maintaining at least a 2-foot distance or placing a small wooden partition/crystal to separate these conflicting elements.
4. Master Bedroom (Nairutya Kon): The Power Center
For the owner of a 4BHK penthouse, the Master Bedroom must be in the Southwest. This direction provides stability and “head of the family” authority.
Ensure the bed is placed so your head points South or East.
Avoid placing large mirrors or television screens directly opposite the bed, as this is said to cause restlessness and health issues in Vastu.
5. The Center (Brahmasthan): The Heart of the Penthouse
The center of your 4BHK should be the “Brahmasthan”—an open, airy space. In luxury penthouses, this is often where the grand chandelier or the central lobby sits.
Keep this area free of heavy pillars or obstructing furniture. A hollow or lightly furnished center allows energy to circulate freely to all four bedrooms.
6. Balconies and Large Windows
Penthouses in Ahmedabad are prized for their views. Vastu suggests that larger windows and balconies should ideally be in the North or East to invite the morning sun.
For South or West-facing balconies (common in Ahmedabad to catch the breeze), use heavy curtains or tinted glass to prevent the “harsh” afternoon energy from overheating the home’s vibrations.
