Selection of Construction Site - Vastu Tips Part - 3

2012-04-21T00:22:00.002-07:00

Sites which are NOT GOOD for Construction :-

Avoid a haunted/dilapidated house: The Plot should not be purchased, if in the recent past someone has committed suicide on it, or if there have been several deaths over a period of a couple of months. The Reasoning - You may psychologically feel uneasy if you happen to know of such a past.

Avoid Plots sold by a person in distress: Such Plots should be purchased only with caution. The Reasoning - You feel psychologically unhappy and guilty, knowing that the Plot was sold out of helplessness and that the previous owner must be still holding onto it.

Avoid Sites near a public place: The Plot should not be abutting any public place like temple, hospital, factory, school, college, Kalyan Mantapa etc The Reasoning - These places will constantly be crowded and noisy. But if they are at least 80 ft away, then the plot is acceptable.

Avoid Sites that were previously owned by a temple or charitable trust: The Reasoning – People are looking for reasons to raise a temple and if it is known that the plot was previosly owned by a temple trust, there will be a lot of pressure to donate it for the temple or charity.

Avoid Sites near smelly places: The Plot should not be near a meat shop, workshop, leather tannery, laundry, shoe shop, dustbins, sewage drains etc. The Reasoning - The stench emanating from these places will permeate the house permanently and naturally not create a relaxed atmosphere in the house.

Avoid sites where cactus grows: The Reasoning – Such sites indicate sandy soil which will not support the foundation effectively.

Avoid sites in which there are lot of termites: The Reasoning - Even if anti-termite treatment is done on the foundation, there is a every likelihood that the termites will not be eradicated completely since the termites form a vast underground network.

Avoid a Plot sandwiched between larger plots: The Reasoning – The owner of the smaller Plot can only construct a much smaller house than the owners of the larger plots and thus, may subconsciously feel ’small’ and overpowered with respect to the neighbours. This can create a feeling of inferiority in the owner.

Avoid Sites with obstructions: Don’t buy a Plot with obstructions like hills, tall buildings or towers on the North, North-East or East sides. The Reasoning - The useful morning sun’s rays will be blocked. However having such obstructions on the West or South sides are considered good as they block the hot western rays.

Avoid plots with an electrical pole or power supply station in the North-East corner: The Reasoning – It is an obstruction and can create harmful electric waves, that can permeate the house from the open North-East corner.

Avoid plots with lot of cracks or too much wet soil: The Reasoning – Cracks indicate dried up clayey soil and too wet soil also indicates clayey soil that does not allow the drainage of water. Such soil is not suitable for a building foundation as it will retain moisture and necessitate extra expenditure for water-proofing the foundation

Avoid Plots with trees: If the Plot is a small one, there should not be trees like Peepal, Mango, Banyan, Tamarind etc on it. The Reasoning – These trees have far-spreading roots and branches, which can cause damage to the building foundation. However, if the Plot is quite big, it is good to have these trees, but away from the building and not in the North-East corner.

Avoid Plots facing a T or Y intersection: The Reasoning – This is because you can see oncoming traffic and this may make you feel a bit nervous or lack of privacy. However, in some cases, as explained below, such plots are acceptable.

Selection of Construction Site - Vastu Tips Part - 2

2012-04-10T01:45:00.006-07:00

According to Vastu Shastra, the location of the Site is very important. Some locations are very auspicious while some others are best to be avoided. Vastu Shastra lays down guidelines to aid you in the Selection of a Site with the best ‘Location’. Since Vastu is a science, every guideline is based on logic and reasoning. As an Architect, I have attempted to explain these guidelines rationally and scientifically, so that you can decide what you want to follow and what you don’t, instead of blindly following them like a superstition.

Ideal Location :-

Peaceful, calm place with lot of greenery and good water source and good soil.The Logic - Fertile soil is an indication of good soil for construction. Peace is what everyone seeks.

Trust your intuition: When purchasing a property, it is a good idea to stand on the land and feel its vibration for a few moments. If you feel positive about it, consider buying the land. If not, it is probably not good for you. The Reasoning - It is always advisable to trust your instinct but make sure you are not influenced by anything or anyone else.

Plot with a good history: It is best to buy land where happy and successful people have lived. The Reasoning – Psychologically, you will feel that a land where people were happy and prosperous, has good vibrations or energy.

Plot with roads on all four sides is considered the best: It ensures health, wealth and happiness. The Reasoning - This is because a Plot with roads on all four sides is not abutting any body’s property and hence one can derive maximum lighting and ventilation from all four sides.

The next best option is a Plot with roads on the North or East.The Reasoning - So that more light and air can enter from these sides in the mornings.

Plots with a water source in the North, East or North-East are good: The Reasoning- The germicidal UV rays of the morning sunlight, which engulf the North-East corner in the morning, can purify the water before you start to use it.

Selection of Construction Site - Vastu Tips

2012-04-05T01:57:00.005-07:00

Selection of a Site: The Selection of a Site is very important since the Site represents a fixed form, that will radiate positive as well as negative energies depending on its location, orientation, shape, slope and soil quality. Therefore, these are the 5 important aspects to be considered when selecting a Site.

Selecting a suitable Site: Normally an Architect is not involved at the time of buying a Site. But as an Architect myself, I suggest that it is better to involve an Architect early on, at the time of selecting a Site, as his inputs could be very valuable in deciding the right Site. Generally, the points an Architect will keep in mind while selecting a site, will by default be in accordance with Vastu Shastra, since Vastu principles are always based on Common Sense and Logic.

Already own a Site: In case you already own a Site, you can still refer to the Vastu Guidelines for Site Selection, to help you evaluate your Site and if necessary, make corrections to make it suitable.

Dining Room - According to The Vastu Shastra Rules

2012-03-20T23:40:00.004-07:00

The Dining room is the place where the family sits to eat, have their meals and chat. It is also the place where guests are entertained and served food. Hence it is generally accessible from the Living Room.The Dining room should be designed to facilitate a relaxed mood for enjoyable eating.

WHAT IS THE BEST LOCATION FOR A DINING ROOM ACCORDING TO VASTU?

The Dining room can be located in the East, South or West: The Dining room can be an independent room or in continuation with the kitchen. The Scientific Reasoning - Any direction is suitable for a Dining room, provided it is close to the Kitchen and has sufficient light and enough privacy from outside.

The Dining room should be on the same floor as the Kitchen: The Logic – It doesn’t make sense to have the Dining room on any other floor other than the Kitchen as it will be impractical to carry hot food and utensils up and down a Staircase.

ACCORDING TO VASTU, WHAT IS THE BEST SHAPE FOR THE DINING TABLE?

The best shape for the Dining Table is square or Rectangle: Shapes like round, oval, hexagon or any other irregular shapes are best avoided for dining tables. The Logic– When sitting at a table one needs enough space so that one can eat comfortably. At the same time, there should be enough space on the table to accommodate everyone’s plates and the food to be served without cramping it. A rectangle or square shape is the most efficient shape for this.

WHAT IS THE BEST POSITION OF THE DINING TABLE ACCORDING TO VASTU?

The Dining table should be in the centre of the room, away from the walls: The Logic – Only if the Dining table is positioned in the centre of the room, can everyone’s chair be pulled out easily for sitting. If it is put against a wall, that side of the dining table cannot be used for placing chairs.

One should sit facing East, North or West: The master of the house should sit facing East. The other family members should sit facing East, West or North. The Reasoning - When facing East, the Sun’s useful rays, especially in the mornings, can flood the room and bathe the diners’ faces.

Avoid sitting facing South: The Scientific Reasoning - When you sit facing South, the Earth’s magnetic North pole and the body’s magnetic North pole, namely the head, repel each other causing a restless feeling.

ACCORDING TO VASTU WHERE SHOULD THE WASH BASIN BE LOCATED IN A DINING ROOM?

The wash basin can be in the North or East of the Dining room: The Scientific Reasoning – In ancient times, water was placed i n the North-East so that it gets purified due to the morning sun’s U-V rays. So Vastu pundits apply this principle to each room where a source of water is required. But in reality today, water comes through pipes and taps from one water tank. So one need not apply this principle everywhere.

Avoid bathroom near the Dining room: The Logic – Every time someone uses the Bathroom, it can be uncomfortable for the rest of the diners sitting at the table. Also the smell from the toilet can be putting off, for the diners.

WHERE SHOULD THE DOOR TO THE DINING ROOM BE PLACED AS PER VASTU?

The door can be in the East, North or West: The Logic- The door position can be any where, depending on the location off the Dining room with respect to the other rooms.

The door of the Dining room and the main entrance door should not face each other: The Logic – Many people feel uncomfortable to be seen eating, when an outsider walks in. So by keeping the entrance door away from the Dining room door, this can be avoided.

WHAT ARE THE SUITABLE COLOURS FOR THE DINING ROOM ACCORDING TO VASTU?

The colour of the Dining room walls: can be light blue, yellow, saffron or light green color and shades of pink or orange. The Scientific Reasoning – Some of these shades are thought to stimulate the appetite. Also having light colours makes the room appear brighter and bigger.

Nature paintings and portraits are suitable for a Dining room: The Logic – Paintings of nature have a calming effect on the mind and one needs to be relaxed while eating.

Commercial Store - Interior Tips...

2012-03-14T01:29:00.004-07:00

Most of the commercial interior designs that you may have seen in glossy magazines and also in trade journals won’t have failed to have impressed you because they are indeed very marvelous as well as beautiful, and the same goes for the many television commercials that also feature many different and excellent commercial interior designs. The end effect is that you will come away impressed and if you are a shop owner or have other commercial interests, and then the mere thought of incorporating the many different and attractive commercial interior designs that you have seen advertised should cause you to pay closer attention to these many interesting possibilities that can be used to boost your store’s image.

Type Of Floors, Placement Of Mirrors And Lighting Effects

So, if after all that you have seen makes you want to upgrade the look of your store in the hope that it will help boost your sales and also attract more customers, then incorporating commercial interior design would be an option worth considering. It will definitely mean making changes to the store, and even simple things such as the placing of mirrors within the shop, the type of floors, lighting arrangements and even the placing of clothes all lend them very well as subjects worth the attention of better commercial interior design.

The first thing that commercial interior design will need to address is where to place mirrors in the store which should help customers view the products better and also not mean having to use the dressing room each time the customer need to view how dresses look. Thus, what modern commercial interior design helps to do is to show you how to strategically place mirrors in the shop to get maximum effect though you must remember not to have more than are absolutely necessary.

Another way in which commercial interior design can help make your store look better is to have well polished floors and the proper lighting, especially when your products are of the casual kind, though for more formal apparel, you might be better off using black tiles for the floors that add a touch of chic to the overall look and ambiance of the store. And, the proper lighting will also help create a proper atmosphere that should nudge customers into buying your product, and soft lights will accentuate the ambiance, while fluorescent or harsh lights take away from it.

But, commercial interior design really comes into its own when it comes to deciding how best to display the products being sold and this is self-evident when you walk into one of the more upscale stores, or those which sell popular clothes. What good commercial interior design ought to do for your products is make them easily accessible to customers which might even require laying them out on tables, or hanging clothes from clothes racks. One thing you may want to avoid is to use the circular racks so commonly found in departmental stores, because they are not well suited for a store which must need to exude more modernity and which must be a reflection of good commercial interior design, and if it also reflects the owner’s own personality, then it would be that much more appreciated as well.

Pre - Leased Commercial Property - Can give you a good return.....

2012-02-28T23:53:00.002-08:00

The concept of rental yield is fast catching the imagination of investors in India, especially those in the metros. Investors invest in a property with a view to renting it out, so as to earn a fixed income. For retail investors, it is largely confined to residential properties, given their low investment capacity.

It runs with the weather as high interest rates and exorbitant prices deter them from investing as they result in less annual yield.

But UHNIs ( ultra high net worth individuals) are transacting in commercial properties which are still in demand and offer high annual rental yield. There is a healthy demand from corporate from the IT and BFSI segments, which en masse account for 60-70% of the total demand. While residential properties give 3-6% as rental yield, commercial properties offer a high rental yield in the range of 9% to 15%.

Pre-Leased Commercial Properties command high yields

There is no doubt that real estate holds the greatest attraction for UHNIs. Most investments happen in properties, say a pocket of land, commercial properties like readily available offices or industrial warehouses. UHNIs, say with a net worth ranging from Rs 25 crore to Rs 100 crore and even above, have been mandating wealth management firms or real estate advisors to pick grade 'A' pre-leased commercial properties.

These pre-leased commercial properties provide fixed income. Here, the aim is to lease out to quality tenants, earn lease income over a 3-5 year period and subsequently exit with a moderate to high capital appreciation.

There are mainly two kinds of commercial properties. The first is the lease-hold, mainly offered by government institutions like MIDC; they are leased to the buyer generally for a period of 99 years, extendable further. You actually buy rights to use the property and not the property per se. In a way, you are buying a property without really owning it. You have limited rights on what to do with the property.

The second is free-hold property - you become the exclusive owner of the property as well as the land on which it is constructed. It gives more right and responsibility to the owner. In India, a majority of the pre-leased commercial transactions happen on free-hold basis.

What decides the rental yield in these properties?

No doubt, the entry price is one of the biggest factors in determining the yield. Lower the price, higher the yield. Another key factor is the quality of tenants. If the tenant is a bank or an insurance firm, mainly PSUs, the property commands a rental yield of 6% to 8%. These tenants stay for a longer period and the property is less prone to hopping; hence, it commands a lower yield.

Commercial properties occupied by multinational companies ( MNCs) like foreign banks, investment banks, etc, or domestic firms like BPOs, IT/ITeS units as tenants generate high rental yields, say in the range of 8% to 12%. So, the question arises how a buyer can ascertain if the tenant will stay for a longer period. If the tenant is incurring a substantial expenditure, say to the tune of Rs 2,000 to Rs 4,000 per sq ft on interiors, it can be fairly assumed that they are going to stay for a longer period.

How to calculate the rental yield

The calculation is simple. You are arriving at a price after including the basic price, stamp duty, car parking charges minus security deposit. The annual lease rent is divided by the final price to arrive at a yield. Generally, the lease term happens for a period of three years, which on renewal commands an escalation of 15% in rent. Hence, the rental yield increases progressively every three years.

For eg, a project ABC having a tenant XYZ has a leasable area of 10,000 sqft and is quoting at a rate of Rs 5,000 per sqft. The total cost after factoring in the car parking charges (4 parkings @ Rs 5 lakh each) plus stamp duty (approximately 5%) is Rs 5.46 crore. The security deposit-adjusted outgo is Rs 4.92 crore.

The lease rental is Rs 110 per sqft which entails an outflow of property tax of Rs 30 per sqft. Hence, the net rent comes to be Rs 48 lakh per annum and, hence, a rental yield of 9.76%. If the rent escalates at 15% every three years, the yield increases to 11.78% in 4th to 6th year and 14.09% in the 7th to 9th year, considering other prices to remain constant. The above calculated yield does not incorporate the capital price appreciation, which can happen at any rate.

Ways to take exposure

If you have pockets full and belong to the high net worth individuals' category, you can buy a pre-leased commercial property; so, typically, the transaction will range from say, Rs 5 crore to Rs 100 crore or even higher. However, for investors falling in the smaller bracket, say Rs 1 crore, it is best to enter through private equity-run real estate rental funds which open from time to time. They promise to deliver a pre-tax return (including capital appreciation) of 20% to 25% during the course of the fund's tenure.

The ideas look promising but one must check all the factors related to them, including the quality of tenants and their likely period of stay. One should also check the vicinity and all paths approaching the property. Lower the distance from major locations like highways, railway stations, bus stands etc, better rent it commands.

Contemporary Furniture - Latest Trends and Designs

2012-02-20T23:41:00.001-08:00

Want to Redecorate your room, How about Contemporary Furniture?????

Contemporary furniture is the furniture that gives your room or interior the most fashionably up-to-date look. If you want to decorate your rooms in a contemporary style, you should have a thorough knowledge about the latest trends in interior designs. Moreover, if you have interest in the changing styles in the world of interior design, you will definitely be able to rearrange your rooms in a contemporary fashion without the help of a third person. You may well surprise yourself with your hidden talent. If, however, you would rather leave the details to someone else, it is better to hire an architect or a trained interior designer.

The opinion of people with regard to what constitutes contemporary style may differ from one to the other, depending on the taste of the persons concerned. Still all of them may agree with one thing - bold colors are something that is practically standard in contemporary furniture style. Most interior designers now prefer to use furniture that use bold colors such as red, white, black, pink, blue, green, etc. when they plan the interiors of a room. It has something to do with the times, perhaps, as the use of bold colors symbolizes the owner's self confidence. Furniture with smooth, clean and geometric shapes are the most popular with architects looking to give a trendy and contemporary look to the interiors of a home.

To know what amounts to this contemporary style in furniture, one has to know what amounts to a traditional style in furniture first. It is quite easy to understand the difference between these two styles in furniture. The most easily identifiable part is the color scheme used by the designers. While the contemporary style of furniture uses bold contrasting colors, traditional style uses only the colors that compliment well with each other. There is also a vast difference in terms of traditional furniture being more bulky and intricate. Modern furniture is made sleek and light with simple straight lines.

Contemporary style in home decor uses a combination of metal, glass, and wood in a very stylish and sophisticated way. A room furnished in tune with the contemporary style of furnishing will look more spacious and airy than one designed using the traditional style. An over furnished room can never be called as a room designed in accordance with the new trends in home decor, as larger open spaces are 'in'. The sleek furniture you use should lend a sophisticated look to the room.

The furniture that you use should be capable of making the room warm and welcoming for the inhabitants as well as the guests. So go ahead and make a strong fashion statement with the latest contemporary furniture to adorn your home!

Studio Apartment - Make it Maximize

2012-02-10T02:04:00.000-08:00

Studio apartments have a lot to offer, even though the available space can be skimpy. They're cozy. Don't underestimate the ability of a small space to create intimacy. The trick is to add the other necessary elements, like furniture, color and storage, carefully. It's easy to make a small space look too crowded if you aren't paying attention to detail. You might have way too many things for the space, but then again, they might just be organized incorrectly for the flow of traffic.

1. When you don't have the luxury of lots of space, the first thing you have to do is strategize how you'll make everything work well together. One foolproof way to start is by using a monochromatic palette. It will make the space look larger and will work with, rather than against, the other elements in your design. Choose the same or similar shades for the walls, carpets and drapes. This doesn't have to be a compromise move, even if you love vivid color. Just indulge yourself in your choice of accessories, wall art and textiles.

If this sounds bland, there are hidden benefits you may not have considered. If your studio apartment has odd angles or other irregularities that you want to camouflage, they'll tend to blend into the background when you keep it neutral. A neutral palette will also make it easier to perform seasonal wizardry, like switching out a cherry red area rug for a pastel green option in spring.

2. Scale is important in rooms that are either too small or too large. Instead of a standard sofa, use a loveseat or two. Take advantage of the ability of glass to blend with its surroundings by using it liberally in your choice of shelving and tables. When you shop for furniture, opt for pieces with onboard storage, like headboard/bookshelf combos, storage ottomans and side tables with built-in drawers. Evaluate the footprint of all the pieces you buy. Once the furniture is in place, you'll still need space to walk around it. Shallow dressers, drop-leaf tables and modular computer desks are easier to incorporate into a small space than their conventional counterparts. Be choosy about what you buy, and look for scaled-down options.

3. Your studio apartment design should conform to the flow of traffic in, out, around and through the space. Determine how you and your guests will use the space, and then establish dynamic living areas based on that. The location of the entrance, bath, kitchen, windows and other stationary fixtures will get you started. Defining specific areas with dividers, specialty lighting or carpeting will help anchor the space and create natural breaks and focal points.

4. Studio apartments usually have meager storage, so make the most of modular storage options and clever solutions like space bags and open shelving. Wall-mounted and freestanding shelves can do triple duty as dividers, wall storage and decoration. If they're partly made of glass or glass block, they can also help open up the space and maximize the available light.

Small spaces can make a big impact when you incorporate scale, neutrals and a practical layout into your design. It's a winning combination that's always in style.

Mixed Picture - Ups and Downs in Indian Real Estate Market

2012-01-30T23:40:00.000-08:00

There is a mixed picture in the Indian residential property market at present with some locations seeing prices and sales rise while they are falling in others.

Chennai’s central business district has seen the highest price increases due to surging demand, according to NHB Residex, an RBI-supervised mechanism that tracks housing prices in 15 cities.

However, prices in North Chennai, most notably Tondiarpet, Perambur, Dr Radhakrishnan Nagar and Narayanappa Garden, saw a fall due to slow infrastructure development.

Despite the economic slowdown, high interest rates and inflation, prices of houses in the city’s hotspots of Anna Nagar, Kilpauk, Nungambakkam, T Nagar and Adyar have been rising. Prices in areas close to Nehru Nagar, Chepauk and Marina rose 62% compared to the quarter ending in June.

‘Chennai’s residential market is expected to see unabated growth during the next few quarters. Active demand will be concentrated in locations closer to the city centre,’ said a recent report Cushman & Wakefield. House prices in Chennai have jumped 9% in the third quarter compared to the June quarter.

Prices in Virugambakkam, Anna Nagar, Kilpauk and Nungambakkam have quadrupled since 2007, when the National Housing Bank (NHB) begun the Residex for Chennai. The demand for residential units in Chennai is likely to see a compounded annual growth rate of 11% during 2011 to 2015.

Real estate consultants blame limited supply and huge demand for property for the surge in prices in the central business district. The city, awaiting the metro rail, monorail and extension of MRTS, will continue to see demand for property near these infrastructure developments, and a surge in prices seems natural, they believe.

But a slowdown in demand for residential properties has affected Ahmedabad’s real estate market. The latest quarterly Residex figures point towards an overall dip of 4% in real estate prices for the third quarter compared with the previous three months.

The western part of Ahmedabad has seen a rise prices largely due to upcoming car plants on the Sarkhej-Sanand stretch, and the metro rail project.But other areas like Prahladnagar, Ambli, Bopal, Jodhpur, Satellite, Solagam, Shilaj road, Vastrapur, Vejalpur, Ambawadi and Chandkhedagam has seen 5.46% in the same quarter.

But in the western zone that prices fell by 9.38% between January and September this year while the northern part of the city such as Buddhnagar, Saijpur-Bhoga, Sardarnagar and Vishnunagar prices have increased by 10.77%.

The central zone saw a rise of 7.51%, which includes areas like Bhadra, Dudheshwar, Gaikwad Haveli, Girdharnagar and Wadigam. The steepest fall in real estate prices was in south zone at 26.11%.

Vastu For Kitchen

2011-12-13T02:59:00.000-08:00

A place of ladies personal world, experiments, tastes, happy to ladies, some times sorrow to gents. There is no ambience in the home more loved and lived in by all the members of the family, the best of the family, the best place to savor the pleasure of being together with all the tastes, memories and daily habits of the family. These are feelings which need a suitable ambience, where the warmth of wood combines with the strong character of the stony materials, such as marble and granite of table tops and the counter may be with glass also.

1. Kitchen should always placed at Southeast (Agneya) corner of the house.

2. The second best place for the kitchen is Northwest (Vayavya) corner of the house.

3.Observe this plan where the kitchen has to be placed in the house.

Dining Room - Feng Shui Tips

2011-12-04T23:58:00.000-08:00

The dining room is a place where you take meal, spend time with your family and friends.This room should be a calm and peaceful place. Lighting is an important element in creating a good dining. The flow of energy through the dining room should be gentle but not stagnant.

A mirror will help to improve the chi flow in the dining room. A mirror facing your table will double your food, the sign of riches and plenty: perhaps the center piece can be a full bowl of fresh, crystal, juicy fruits.

Use round, oval, or octagonal shaped tables.

Your dining room shouldn't be too close to the front door.

Always try to eat facing one of your best directions.

It is also very important to choose a table that fits the size of your area to make sure there is enough room to walk around the table (equal space around the whole table works best).

A faceted crystal ball or crystal chandelier over the center of the dining table will help to balance chi in the room.

Always use soft lighting in the dining room

Be careful of sharp angles form wall partitions or furniture pointing at you: soften them by hanging crystal balls or a plant in front of them.

Kitchen Cum Dining - Spend A Quality Time

2011-11-22T23:34:00.000-08:00

The kitchen is the heart of the home so by creating an open plan area that combines the dynamics of cooking, eating and living, adds real value – not just in terms of monetary worth, but in terms of quality time too. Whether a small breakfast bar in a W1 pied à terre or a 12-seater table in a cavernous loft apartment, it’s a space that will be used from breakfast through suppertime and beyond and one which feels distinctly more contemporary and urban than a formal dining room.

In the zone:-

Think carefully about where to define your areas of activity. You don’t want guests in your way while you’re preparing food but you do still need to be able clink glasses with them. The kitchen island is a good way of naturally dividing the space and if you choose one with a tall backsplash (which can also support a breakfast bar) it’ll hide the preparation clutter and dirty dishes too.

Try to position the eating area as close to natural light as possible. If you live in a house the optimal view is over the garden. If budget allows you could open up your kitchen to the outside space by installing French windows or floor to ceiling glass – a dramatic contemporary statement. If you live in a flat position your table next to a window. If your kitchen/diner is big enough to allow for a separate ‘living area’ try to anchor this space with a focal point such as a fireplace or sofa and coffee table. If space is more limited you could introduce a nook or alcove to the plans. This is a great way of creating a little privacy in an otherwise busy room – ideal for homework, office work, reading or chatting on the phone.

However you arrange the room just make sure that people at the table can pull their chairs back freely and have room to move around without traversing obstacles.

The rules of light:-

In the kitchen/diner you can reinforce the notion of separate ‘zones’ with distinct lighting for each of the areas, for example in the cooking and preparation area of the kitchen you’ll need task lighting. You can also adjust track lights to illuminate a particular area and angle spot lights over say, a painting. In the dining area low-hanging pendants on dimmer switches will create atmosphere, particularly if combined with low-level lighting. If there’s an area that’s often used for reading or working, a funky anglepoise lamp will work perfectly.

Style advice:-

This is the area of your home with the highest footfall and passing traffic so it needs to be easy to keep clean, particularly if you have children. Use paints which are wipeable and if your chairs are upholstered make sure the covers can be easily removed and washed. Steer clear of carpets – where lots of food is being served the inevitable spillages will happen. And try to harmonise the styling of the kitchen and eating areas. The rustic Tuscan themed dining area will jar unhappily with an industrial stainless steel kitchen, but add a glass table and white leather chairs to the mix and it’ll work perfectly.

The air we breathe:-

The smell of cooking is delicious in the kitchen but not so great in the bedroom so to prevent odours wafting from your open-plan into other areas of your home you’ll need effective ventilation ducted through the roof or exterior wall. A cooker hood with a strong extractor fan is an essential investment.

Declutterbug:-

If you’re knocking a wall down to create a new space you might have to sacrifice some high level cupboard space. If so choose an island or a peninsula which can offer up valuable cupboard and drawer storage. Do bear in mind that in the open-plan space all your clutter, preparation, utensils and foodstuffs are in full view of your guests so be ruthless with what what’s allowed worktop residency.

Home Decor - False Ceiling is Must

2011-11-08T03:52:00.000-08:00

When another ceiling is installed beneath the original, it is referred to as a drop ceiling, suspended ceiling or false ceiling. Its purpose is to hide such things as the heating and air-conditioning ductwork, wiring, pipes and anything else that needs to run from one area to the next. Other reasons for installing a false ceiling are thermal insulation, soundproofing or something to accommodate a change in lighting, such as recessed lights.

You can buy long metal strips in a variety of colors to add a different dimension to your ceiling. These have a base piece that hangs from the original ceiling and the metal strips latch into the base. The final result is very streamlined and without gaps.

Pressed metal includes tin, aluminum, copper and any other metal you can think of that has been made into a panel for the ceiling. Some manufacturers have started making an interlocking grid that the tiles slide into. When that isn't available, use the traditional metal suspended ceiling grid, with some modifications to adjust for the size of the metal panels. Another option is to use strips of wood that the metal panels can be tacked onto.

This is what most people think of when they think of ceiling panels and false ceilings. They are called fiberboard because they are made from a mix of fibers from wood or cane and chemical binders that are pressed into flat panels. These are typically installed by resting them on a metal grid installed across the entire ceiling. Special chemical treatments can also be added to these for fireproofing and moisture resistance.

The New Land Acquisition Bill of India

2011-09-23T03:20:00.000-07:00

Highlights of the Bill :-

The states are free to frame their own laws and if they so desire, are free to improve upon the provisions stipulated under the proposed bill. It allows flexibility to the state government on whether or not to intervene on behalf of private players in land acquisitions .

The urgency clause can only be invoked in national defenses and for security purposes; R&R needs in the event of emergencies or natural calamities. Now, farmers will get only four times the market price in the rural areas while in urban areas it will be double the market price.

In any case, the R&R package will be applicable only when the private parties acquire 100 acres or more land in the rural areas and 50 acres or more in urban areas.

The promised R&R for those subsisting on the acquired land will now be applicable only to those who have been eking out a livelihood for at least three years on that piece of land. Earlier, all those sustaining themselves on the acquired piece of land were made eligible for compensation.

While the purpose of acquisition can't be changed, the bill, however, now allows transfer of land with the approval of the state government; if the transfer is made without any development of the land, the farmers will have to be paid 20% of the appreciated value.

The bill specifies timelines for the payment of compensation. The price of land has to be paid within three months of the award, and the other monetary compensations within six months and the infrastructure entitlements under the R&R package within 18 months. Penalties will be levied on violation.

A Home needs Quality Construction.....

2011-09-06T23:38:00.000-07:00

Selecting the right building material is crucial for any construction. Although the contractor may be arranging the material, yet it is advisable for you as the house owner to be aware of methods to ascertain the quality of the material being used. This is especially important if you are not using ready-mix concrete.

SAND :

In technical language, sand is referred to as Fine Aggregates. Size of particles is less than 5 mm. River sand is cheapest source of natural aggregates. It should be free from dust, clay, silt and organic impurities.

You can conduct a simple field test for sand:

Hold some of the sand in hand, rub it and just throw it. Check your palm. Good sand will not stick to the palm.
Take some sand in a graduated, transparent measuring cylinder and pour double the quantity of water to it. Shake it vigorously for two minutes by keeping the palm on the top of the cylinder. Keep the cylinder for one hour in undisturbed condition. Different layers will be observed enabling you to check the quality of the sand.

COARSE AGGREGATES :

Crushed hard stone and gravel are common materials used as coarse aggregates for concrete work in India. Aggregates are available in sizes of 40mm, 20mm and 10mm. For residential slab, beam and column work, 20mm and 10mm size of aggregates are generally used

Aggregates should be hard, strong and durable. They must also be free of clay, loam, vegetable and other foreign materials. As far as possible, flaky and elongated pieces of stone should be avoided.

WATER :

Municipal water supplied for drinking purpose is generally considered fit for construction purpose. Additionally, you can check if the water is free of oil, acids, salts and organic impurities. Sea-water and ground water should preferably not be used for construction purposes.

BRICKS :

Bricks should be sound, hard and well burnt.

They should be free from effloresces and be uniform in size, shape and colour.
The bricks when struck together should produce a good metallic ringing sound.
They must not break when dropped from a height of approximately a meter.

Vastu For Plot

2011-08-22T00:36:00.000-07:00

Building a dream home needs vigilant considerations and apart from the good architectural design and construction techniques, the location of the plot affects the energy of the residents through out life.
It is advisable to follow vastu guidelines while selecting a plot to make sure that the place becomes a healthful, energetic, cheerful and prosperous residence we all deserve.

1. Location of the Plot
2. Direction of the Plot
3. Shape of Plot
4. Color of the Soil
5. Adjoining Roads

Location of the Plot according to Vastu

The following considerations are useful for location.
• The site having fertile earth, fruit trees, flowering plants, grass is good for construction.
• The site without any source of ground water should be avoided.
• The site near temple ashram, school, college, hospital, graveyard, Garbage dump site should be avoided.
• If the plot is small, there should be no big tree like Mango, Banana etc.
• If the plot is big, building area should be far away from the tree.

Direction of the Plot according to Vastu

The East and North facing plots are appropriate for house construction. Care should be taken while designing the house facing West and South direction because some directions have positive impacts while the other have negative on occupants of the house. For example if the kitchen is in South-East, there are always good results on health. But if the kitchen is in North-East, the health is affected adversely.

Shape of Plot according to Vastu

Shape of plot matters a lot in the selection of land. The following are some shapes of the plots.
• The plot should be of square or rectangular shape. Ratio of width and length should not be more than 1:2 in rectangular plot. The square plot is the best.
• Plots having triangular, round shape, hexagon, octagon or polygon shapes should be avoided because these are not good for construction.
• Plots having an extended NE (North-East) corner is lucky.

• Gomukhi Plot is good for house construction. The plot narrow at front and wide at the back is also called low pressure plot. However, it is advisable to consult a vastu expert before finalizing the decision.
• Singhmukhi Plot is not suitable for residential purposes. Such a plot is wide at the front as compared to the back. It may be used for commercial activites . It is suitable for the residence facing the roads in eastern or northern side. Such a plot is also called high pressure plot. But it is advisable to consult a vastu expert before finalizing the decision.

Color of the Soil

Color of the soil is another important aspect which should not be avoided at the time of purchasing the plot. The following colors of soil are considered better for construction purposes.
1. Red
         2. Yellow
         3. White
         4. Black

Red soil is suitable for executives who are engaged in administrative and legal services. These executives are usually employees of Government, armed forces or administration.
Yellow and Green is considered by shareholders, businessmen, bankers and by those who are directly related to commercial activities.
Usually White soil is preferable for intellectual professionals like doctors, engineers, teachers, poets, musicians, consultants etc.
Note: Black and clay soil is not good for construction.

Adjoining Roads

A plot adjoining roads at any of the four sides affects the life of family members. The affects of such a plot are given below.

Plot Having One Road

Roads From	Results
East	Good, Prosperous and Wealthy
West	Average, Good for Business People
North	Good for Women , Prosperous & Wealthy
South	Good for Business Concern

Plot Having Two Roads

Roads From	Results
North And East	Very Good
East and South	Good
South And West	Average
West and North	Good
North and South	Average
East and West	Good

Plot Having Roads on Three Sides

The plot facing roads from three sides is an average plot. It can be improved by leaving a passage at fourth side.

Plot Having Roads on All Sides:
The Plot having road on all side is best plot.

Plot Facing T-Junction: The Plot facing T or Y-Junction is not suitable for construction. It is inauspicious.

Plot at the Dead End of the Road: The plot is not appropriate for construction. It can be improved by extending the road up to the width of plot.

Commercial Property Purchase - Needs a well Inspection...

2011-08-05T03:55:00.001-07:00

As a real estate agent it pays to have a good approach to listing commercial property. A system to the process is a good idea. Not only will a system help you ask the right questions, but it will show your professionalism to the property owners.

When you are listing in a competitive market place it is highly likely that another agent or two will be inspecting the same property later in the same day. It thereby follows that the agent that is the most professional in the inspection process is highly placed to win the listing.

When times are busy you could be inspecting 2 or 3 properties a day for the purpose of listing. So a property inspection process is valuable to you in your listing conversions. I split the process into 2 levels as below.

My inspection process of a commercial, industrial, or retail property could be similar to the following:

The Preparation

· Check out the property title ownership detail before you get to the property

· See if any encumbrances or rights of way impact the property and if so how

· Get a copy of the local survey plan for the street and area

· See what the zoning and building codes do for the property

· See if there are any orders or notices on the property at the moment in the local building authority office

· Research the property sale and rental history over the last few years

· Review the tenant mix and lease profile from known leases

· Get details of recent comparable sales and rentals in the area

· Look for comparable properties in the same area that may be for sale or lease now and that could impact the marketing of the subject property

· What vacancy factors exist in the property currently?

The Inspection

· Check out the boundaries for the property and proximity to neighbours

· Walk the local street to understand visibility and access to the site

· Look at the signage of the property for identity and impact

· Review the building improvements for suitability and function. Are they what the market wants today?

· Get a copy of the tenancy schedule for review

· Ask about building income and expenditure performance (especially if the property is for future sale)

· Walk through the property with the owner or landlord whilst asking questions about current property performance

· Review lettable space and common areas for practicality and operation of the property investment

· Look for any vacancies and see if they are dragging down the function of the other tenants nearby

· Ask about anchor tenants if they apply in the property and get copy of the leases to see the terms of occupancy.

· Take plenty of photos that can help you later with notes and review analysis

When you inspect a commercial property for the first time it pays to have all the facts researched before you get to the property. In the actual inspection get more details from the property owner on current issues and concerns. As a general rule do not price a property at the inspection. It is far better to take the inspection information away for greater analysis. You can then formally present your findings to the owner at a later meeting.

Preparation is the key to a good property inspection. It sets the scene for the later listing pitch with the property owner. When you know all the facts and you have fully researched the property it is far easier to close on the listing.
