On the 10th to 25th floors the air moves with high intensity, so energy generated in a flat moves away quickly and the rules for ground-level buildings do not apply. Even a wrongly placed toilet in a high flat often causes no trouble.
Flats on upper floors
A building to the North that is only a little taller than yours does no harm, but one more than about four to five feet taller causes trouble. A taller building or a raised hill has no effect if it stands at a distance of at least double your building's height.
Buildings or hills to the North of the property
In small homes of 700 to 800 sq ft, plots of 70 to 80 gaj and flats under 1000 sq ft, direction and element rules are not applied; instead the sizes of rooms, beds, tables and kitchen platforms are set by aay (mathematical Vastu) to generate the needed element.

A circular plot is bad for homes and business but the best for temples and auspicious for a parliament. A pentagonal plot should never be bought, while a hexagonal plot with equal sides is never bad and suits temples, certain businesses and schools.
Whole plot or building
Living above a bank is acceptable, but a flat whose toilet lies directly above the bank's safe or locker room, where the money is kept, ruins its residents financially.

A tall building close to the North or East of a plot blocks its energy: in the North it causes money problems and in the East loss of name and fame. A tall building on the back side, in the South, South-West or West, gives strong progress.
North and East of the plot (harmful); South, South-West and West (helpful)
Nothing valuable or sacred should sit on the pishach bhoomi: never a tijori, court case or other important papers, a child's study table, a bed set directly against the wall, or a deity and home temple. Leaving even a 2 to 3 inch gap from the wall keeps an item off the pishach band.

A building receives two energies: geopathic energy rising from the earth, which is the main support and stays the same on every floor, and cosmic energy from the air, which can differ from floor to floor with orientation. So the ground floor and basement energy is checked first.
Ground floor and basement of the building
Stairs carry geopathic currents from below up through the building; stairs that turn clockwise increase the current, while stairs that turn anti-clockwise cause loss.
Staircase of a house or flat building
In flats and dense areas, a door facing the main door, a lift right in front, stairs going down in front, or the corner of another building pointing at the door all create dwar vedh.
Directly in front of the main door
A house with three doors on N4, E4 and S4 is a nandavart house; children born there are very good and rise high in education, politics or religion.
Doors on N4, E4 and S4
Everything taught for map marking applies to a flat except bhoomi vibhajan, because the open margins left around the building already form its Pishach bhoomi. Zoning, directions, devta marking and the ati marma are still done inside the flat.
Inside the flat, taking the area the residents can enter and use as the flat
For a new building the boundary gate is placed using the grid of the whole plot, while the main door and the devta pads of the house are marked on the grid of the constructed area, for example at E3 or E4.

When a flat or house cannot be altered, interior vastu balances the disturbed element by placing that element's shapes, symbols, artifacts, idols, showpieces and materials in the zone. This nullifies the defect, just as a doctor's supplement corrects a deficiency.
The defective or cut zone
A lift belongs to the fire element; its pit may be dug in ESE and SE, but from SSE onward only a pitless lift is allowed. The lift zones named are ESE and, best of all, WNW and NW, then SE; SSE only pitless, NNW only in an emergency and never the North.
ESE, WNW and NW, then SE
Stairs must turn clockwise, have an odd number of risers, include landings and equal risers, arrive facing North or East, and have nothing harmful built beneath them.
Staircase
There are three types of doors: the boundary wall door, the main door and room doors. The pada results apply mainly to the main door, the door through which you actually enter the home.
Boundary wall gate, main door and internal room doors
A dehleez is essential in the main door and good in every door. Make it of wood for a soft nature or of stone for firmness, keep it above the floor and mount the door on top of it.
Thresholds of the main door and internal doors
When leaving the house, first move clockwise, to your right, from the main door. A door from which people go out anticlockwise is called heen bahu dwar and gives less of its result.
Main door and the path just outside it
Furniture gives the best results when it is made of good wood, upholstered in cloth and arranged in the shape of the element of its zone.
Living room, Brahmasthan and every zone
Get the seat removed and refitted perfectly level, because health matters more than the cost. Many people found with kidney, heart and cancer problems, and especially stomach problems, had toilet seats that were not at water level. The main door too must be in plumb, leaning neither in nor out, and level where it stands.
No, such a door is not considered right, and the occupants usually face sudden obstacles in work or sudden health issues. Get the door made straight; treatments for cases where that cannot be done are taught later.
If a proper distance is maintained there is no problem, but a building many times taller standing close in front, within roughly 25 to 50 feet, has a bad effect. This is why the lowest floors of a building are the cheapest and the upper floors the costliest. Remedies for this are taught later.
No. When a road runs between the property and the source of a vedh, such as a river, the defect does not apply.
It can be balanced with methods taught later. A good immediate remedy is to place the deity in the exact West of the home so that it faces East; when the deity looks to the East, the direction corrects itself.
All the methods are good, but no method in the world is greater than swar. Many methods cannot be used in a flat, while swar can check a flat, a land or anything else. Learn swar well, practise it and do nadi shodhan; then you may not even need to visit the plot, because someone standing there can phone you and you can tell from where you are.
Yes, it is nimitta gyan and not merely a custom of letting milk boil over for luck. If the milk heats fully and boils over without any sound, it is auspicious, a sign that the offering has been accepted. If it crackles or pops like ghee on heat, some ritual was left incomplete or some defect remains in the construction or the griha pravesh. The colour of the flame where milk or ghee falls, red, yellow or black, is also read.
There are two energies: geopathic energy from within the earth, which gives growth, and cosmic energy from the air, which supports it. The ground energy reaches every floor, as a building rests on its foundation, so check the ground floor and basement energy first; the cosmic energy can differ from floor to floor with orientation, as was found in a 17-floor building. Basement energy matters most, just as fertiliser and water go into the soil, not onto the leaves.
Exactly as for any plot; flats, industries and every other building follow the same method. Finding the centre of a flat can be hard, so use AutoCAD or the paper method for irregular shapes. Only a temple differs, because it uses the 64 pad grid, where North falls between N4 and N5.
Use green colour and a flag-like pattern: put up a flag (dhwaj) in the North-West and, if possible, open the North-West with a window; this brings at least some balance. Swar vigyan can do still more without expense or demolition.
Either remove the toilet, which is rarely practical, or keep the two flats separate through kilan: four copper nails at the corners of one flat and four at the corners of the other. At griha pravesh a raksha sutra is tied around the house and nails are fixed at the four corners so that the current moves along them, and kilan divides the current the same way. Even on the third floor, simply drill and fix 1.5-inch copper nails.
No. A lift creates dwar vedh only when it is exactly in front of the main door, where it obstructs luck and delays work. Its remedies are taught with the other remedies.
