Your Exterior in Vastu
The exterior is the first and last line of Vastu defence — the compound wall, gate, driveway, and surrounding landscape that filter environmental energy before it enters the home. South and West compound walls should be taller and thicker than North and East walls, creating the characteristic Vastu weight gradient at site level. The main gate should align with the main door direction. The driveway should slope downward toward the North or East. Heavy structures like garages, generator rooms, and bore wells follow directional rules inherited from the broader site-level category. The exterior also governs the relationship between the home and its environment — proximity to T-junctions, temples, graveyards, water bodies, and electricity poles all affect the property's base energy.

Key Principles for the Exterior
South/West compound walls taller and thicker than North/East — the site-level weight gradient
Main gate direction should align with main door direction — consistent prana pathway from street to home
Environmental proximity matters — T-junctions, temples, and water bodies affect base energy before you even enter the compound
