20 x 30 house plan, north facing, as per Vastu
A compact plot with a favourable facing — the layout priorities shift slightly from the east-facing version at the same size.
Sample 20x30 north-facing 2 BHK plan
On a plot this tight, this layout relaxes the National Building Code's room-size comfort minimums to fit a full 2 BHK — a real option in the planner, and the same trade-off most builders make at this size.
What fits on a 20x30 plot
With the standard setbacks this planner uses — 4 ft on the road side and 2 ft on the other three sides — a 20 × 30 ft plot leaves a buildable rectangle of 16' × 24', or about 384 sq ft of the 600 sq ft plot.
The generated layout uses 384 sq ft of that as ground-floor built-up area, of which about 153 sq ft is open living and dining space.

| Room | Size | Area |
|---|---|---|
| Bedroom | 7'2" x 8'6" | 61.3 sq ft |
| Master Bedroom | 7'2" x 7'2" | 51.5 sq ft |
| Kitchen | 3'6" x 7'2" | 25 sq ft |
| Bathroom 1 | 7'2" x 2'10" | 20.2 sq ft |
| Bathroom 2 | 7'2" x 2'10" | 20.2 sq ft |
| Living + dining | open plan | 153 sq ft |
Vastu notes for a 20x30 north-facing plot
The entrance sits in the northeast third of the north wall, and on a 20-foot width this places it close enough to the northeast corner that keeping that corner genuinely clear takes real discipline — it's easy to let the entrance's own threshold space creep into it. The kitchen still holds the southeast, and the master bedroom the southwest, unchanged by facing direction. What differs most from an east-facing plot of the same size is the living area's relationship to the entrance: with the road to the north, the living space typically sits directly off the entrance rather than requiring a longer approach, which actually works in this compact plot's favour, since it doesn't lose square footage to an internal corridor.

20x30 north-facing plans: common questions
Does a north-facing 20x30 plot need a different room layout than east-facing?
The core zones (kitchen southeast, master bedroom southwest) stay the same; the main difference is how the living area connects to the entrance.
Is a north-facing small plot considered auspicious?
Yes, north-facing is broadly considered favourable regardless of plot size.
Can I fit a pooja room on a 20x30 plot?
Often as a small dedicated northeast nook rather than a full room — even a compact, genuinely placed pooja space is preferable to a larger one in the wrong direction.
