Vastu Architecture
Vastu Architecture - A house in which you feel healthy and so right at home.
Vastu Architecture Consulting | Vastu Interior Design | Vastu Garden Design
Building a house in full accordance with Vastu principles is probably the most powerful way to build bridges between the forces of nature and the future inhabitants.
Vastu is a complex and even somewhat esoteric science, but it always manifests actual structures with actual results. Thus, since time immemorial and on all continents and in all cultures, this knowledge has been actualised in the form of buildings that positively radiate energy and continue to do so centuries after their creation.
The Vastu Architect or Vastu Architectural Consultant determines the optimal position and orientation of a building on its respective plot of land, calculates auspicious perimeter dimensions and harmonious proportions, and with the placement of windows and doors, gives the structure a rhythm and a face.
The work begins with the selection of a suitable plot of land and extends to the finest details, including (when you wish) interior architecture and garden design.

Effect of vastu principles on the planned house
Land Plot and Energy Fence
We will find the right plot of land with a positive shape and a favourable slope where the water bodies are optimally placed, etc.
Mathematics
We calculate an auspicious measurement for the perimeter and thus create a powerful resonance body.
Geometry
Harmonious proportions, a rectangular basic shape, and symmetry create spaces of peace and balance.
Center
A free, unobstructed heart space (atrium, ‘brahmasthan’) in a structure allows the energies in space to flow unimpeded, bringing us to our inner centre.
Energy Lines
The house is infused and nourished with a lot of life energy (prana), supporting the health and balance of the occupants.
Building Orientation
The orientation of the house to the main cardinal points connects it with the power of the earth.
Doors and Windows
Doors and windows are placed in areas where beneficial qualities are activated again and again.
Five Elements
All areas of a house have different energies. With Vastu we can live in conscious harmony with the elements.
Placement of Rooms
The layout of rooms according to the qualities of the directions supports the optimal function of each room.
Vastu Architecture Consulting
Site (Land Plot), Project Planning, & Construction
Plan and build with us a Vastu house in which you feel healthy and truly at home. A powerful space that energetically suits you and your loved ones perfectly. Vastu can be implemented in any architectural style and with almost all building materials, but of course we recommend natural building materials wherever possible.

Selection & Optimisation of the Land Plot
The plot itself is the indispensable foundation for any construction project. It is worthwhile to invest sufficient time and focus in the search for and selection of a suitable site. Together we look for a plot where the location, the view, and the price are optimal, and also where the energies flow well.
02 | Architecture Consulting
Project Planning
We work closely with architects from the client’s network or, upon request, from our own network. Here, 1 + 1 does not make 2, but 3– an aesthetically pleasing and at the same time energetically powerful structure that you call your home or your business.
From the first draft to the final design, architecture and Vastu work closely as a team until the owners, the architect, and the Vastu architectural consultant are satisfied.
The result is the plan for a resonant body that activates and supports the full potential of the future residents.
03 | Architecture Consulting
Construction & Vastu Ceremonies
As soon as the house has been planned in CAD (Computer Aided Design) or on paper to everyone’s satisfaction, the construction phase begins. This usually starts with the building permit and lasts until the keys are handed over.
The first step is to determine, with respect to the building plan, dates and times for the most important milestones: the ground-breaking ceremony, laying of the foundation stone, door-setting, and moving into the house. Each of these are consciously initiated with a small ceremony.
For this purpose dates are chosen that fall under favourable astrological alignments.
Now the executing partners (those responsible for the construction itself) must also be made aware of the desired precision and mindful implementation of the building project. As one would construct a musical instrument, precision is important to create an effective and beautiful resonant body.

Nadia Vitali
Architect MSc ETH / Vastu Home Consultant / Ayurveda Coach
Nadia Vitali’s passion is to help you feel really comfortable in your four walls and your skin again. She has worked as an architect for many years, always missing something in her work. During a vacation in India, she came across Vastu: designing buildings that are in harmony with nature and that positively support the occupants…. her passion was ignited!
Two trainings as a Vastu housing consultant followed. Later, she also trained as an Ayurveda Coach to better support her clients. Today she combines all her strengths as an architect, Vastu living consultant and Ayurveda coach to support people in bringing more ease, flow and well-being into their lives by working with the forces of the universe instead of against them. The goal of her work is to create a harmonious unity between people, environment and nature.

Kim Sabine Eichhorn
GRADUATE ENGINEER ARCHITECT (AK BERLIN, FREELANCE)
DGNB REGISTERED PROFESSIONAL (GERMAN SOCIETY FOR SUSTAINABILITY)
VASTU-SHASTRA CONSULTANT (EUROPEAN ACADEMY OF AYURVEDA)
After a year of basic training as a carpenter, Kim, full of drive and thirst for knowledge, completed an engineering degree with a focus on construction management and project control, graduating with honours in 2010. From the start, the relationship between our living / working space and our body-mind-health was of great importance to her.
A burnout forced Kim to spend an intensive time in her own four walls. During this time she felt and understood that our wonderful planet actually provides everything we need to maintain our health. We ourselves have it in our hands to provide ourselves with the energies we need. In order to be able to implement these insights even better through her work, Kim trained as a Vastu Shastra counsellor. This was followed by additional training as a meditation teacher and body balance trainer.
By combining these different trainings with her engineering studies and her life experience, Kim is able to connect people with their spaces and look at everything holistically. She is deeply convinced that our spaces have a significant impact on our lives and health. The design of these outer as well as inner spaces is solely in our hands. This deep conviction led Kim to become self-employed with the “Studio für Raumbewusstsein“ (Studio for Spatial Awareness) in 2019.
