30 x 40 house plan, north facing, as per Vastu
North-facing plots at this size are considered highly favourable for prosperity-linked directions, and the layout logic differs from east-facing in a few real ways.

What fits on a 30x40 plot
With the standard setbacks this planner uses — 4 ft on the road side and 2 ft on the other three sides — a 30 × 40 ft plot leaves a buildable rectangle of 26' × 34', or about 884 sq ft of the 1,200 sq ft plot.
The generated layout uses 884 sq ft of that as ground-floor built-up area, of which about 250 sq ft is open living and dining space.
Setback rules come from your local municipal byelaws — change them in the planner and every figure above recalculates for your plot.

Vastu notes for a 30x40 north-facing plot
With the road to the north, the entrance sits best in the northeast third of the north wall — close to, but distinct from, the northeast corner itself, which should stay clear. The kitchen still belongs in the southeast, unaffected by which wall faces the road; this is one of the more stable rules across facing directions. Where north-facing plots genuinely differ from east-facing ones is in how the living space reads: with the road to the north, the living area naturally opens toward the street-facing side, and on a 30-foot width this usually means the living room shares the north wall with the entrance rather than sitting behind it. The southwest remains the master bedroom's home. A north-facing 30x40 plot's northwest corner is often where the layout gets tightest — keep a genuine bathroom or utility here rather than trying to force a bedroom into a corner classical guidance treats as secondary.

30x40 north-facing plans: common questions
Is north-facing better than east-facing for Vastu?
Both are considered favourable; the difference is more about your specific priorities (career/prosperity leaning vs. health/vitality leaning) than a fixed hierarchy.
Where does the staircase go on a north-facing plot?
South, west, or southwest are the classical choices, same as most other facings — the staircase's placement rule doesn't change much by facing direction.
Can the living room face the road on a north-facing plot?
Yes, and it often works naturally, since the living area doesn't carry the same directional restrictions bedrooms and the kitchen do.
