Planning & Design

The aspect of the house should be such that it enables the family members to live comfortably. Aspect is concerned with the orientation of the building. The arrangement of the doors and windows in the outside walls of the house should be in such a way that plenty of sunrays, breeze can enter into the house. All the rooms should be well ventilated and well lighted by the proper placement of doors and windows. Aspects of a building provide comfort, hygiene and pleasant views.

Prospect is the view from outside of a house. The house should have a proper prospect so that it can give a feeling of cheerfulness to the people living in it. It should create a good impression on a person who views it from outside. Prospect should reveal pleasant features and hide unpleasant and undesirable features of the house.

The roominess could be produced in a house by using small proportions. An impression of spaciousness can be created even if the house is small. A square room may look smaller than rectangular room of the same square meter area because of the change in proportion. The cupboards and shelves should be fixed in such a way as to make the best use of space available.
