This landmark residence is set on what was once part of the original Hatley estate, the historic founding grounds of Rollingwood. The kitchen, primary, and main living areas are all located on the second level to capture panoramic downtown and Lake Austin views, including the main stage of Austin City Limits.

How this is scored

Higher is better. 100 = fully aligned with traditional Vastu principles; 0 = inauspicious on every axis. Three geometric signals combine into the total:

Facing direction  — 40 points

Bearing from the home toward the nearest road (the direction your front entrance faces). Vastu favors entrances that catch morning light and the "Ishanya" (NE) energy corner.

DirectionPointsInterpretation
N / E / NE40Most auspicious — morning sun, NE is the divine corner
NW30Acceptable — air element
W22Tolerable
SE20Mixed — "fire" corner; okay for kitchens, not entrances
S12Poor — harsh afternoon sun, Yama (death) direction
SW0Worst — "Nairutya," associated with negative energy

Site slope  — 30 points

Elevation sampled at four corners of a 60m box around the property. Vastu prefers land that rises toward the SW (so the NE corner is lower) — symbolically draining negative energy away from the auspicious NE.

SW − NE (m)PointsInterpretation
≥ +0.530Ideal — SW noticeably higher than NE
−0.5 to +0.518Effectively flat — acceptable
−2.0 to −0.58NE slightly higher — mild concern
< −2.00Inauspicious — NE much higher than SW

Plot shape  — 30 points

Derived from the TCAD parcel polygon. Three sub-signals, summed:

  • Aspect ratio (0–12 pts) — width / height of the north-aligned bounding box. Square-ish (1.0–1.5) is best; slivers (>3.0) score 0.
  • Convexity (0–10 pts) — polygon area ÷ convex-hull area. 1.0 = convex (ideal); L-shaped or pinched lots score lower. Vastu strongly prefers regular shapes.
  • Cardinal alignment (0–8 pts) — how far (degrees) the longest edge is from N/S/E/W. Lots aligned with compass directions score higher.

What's missing: kitchen position, master bedroom, prayer/pooja room, exact door placement, interior colors, water features — all require a floorplan or site visit. A strict Vastu reading would include these; this score is directional only.
