Access There must also be easy access to the building. If there is a car park allocated to the building, it should ideally be situated west or south of the premises. Locating Reception The location of the reception area in the building will obviously depend upon the position of the main entrance, as this is where visitors will expect to be welcomed. Because the reception area is the receiving zone of a business, it is ideally located in the northeast corner of the building, as prana flows in from the northeast. The main reception desk should ideally be positioned in the south or west corner of the room so that the receptionist faces either north or east. Managers, Managing Directors & Head of Department The managing director of the company equates with the head of the household, according to Vastu principles. As such, the managing director's office corresponds to the master bedroom and should be one of the largest rooms, situated in the southwest corner of the building. Services If the business is large and has various administration departments, then these need to be properly located. General administration services connected to the business are best positioned in either the west or the south of the building on either side of the managing director's office. Make sure that the desks are positioned to enable staff either to face east or north. The accounts department should be in the north of the building. Safes or valuables can also be kept in the north for added security, though the safe itself, because it is heavy, needs to be placed in the south or west. Refreshments Whether it is a full-scale canteen for a large corporation or just a snack machine, the refreshment area corresponds to the kitchen or dining area of a house. Cooking and refrigeration facilities equate with the kitchen, and should either be located in the south-east or the northwest. Equipments The equipment needed for a company depends upon the nature of the business. However, whether it is a standard office or a large industry manufacturing a finished product certain similar rules will always apply. If the business requires any heavy machinery' such as printing equipment or photocopiers, then they and any other heavy items should be kept either in the south or west of the building. Similarly, heavy items that need to be kept throughout the premises, such as desks or heavy cabinets, should be positioned in the south-west of individual rooms. Bathroom Facilities The bathroom facilities in an office are comparable to the bathroom within the home and are therefore best located towards the southeast corner of the office building, the genital area of Vastu Purusha, or in the north-west. The bathroom should not open directly into the main office, but should be positioned away from it and have a separate entrance. Protecting your finances Kubera watches over the north of the building and is the protector of wealth, so this is the best area for any dealings with money, especially the accounts department. The design currently in vogue for modern office spaces is the open-plan model, with employees being offered individual workstations. Each individual situation has to be considered carefully to maximize the benefits and reduce negative influences. Know more in detail Subscribe Now!
