⚠️ Possible Vastu Faults / What to Check Carefully
Even though the overall project has good design, here are potential Vastu issues or spots where problems may arise. As always, whether they affect you depends on the particular unit (floor, orientation, facing, etc.).
Vastu Fault | Why It Can Be a Problem for Energy Flow, Comfort, Prosperity | What to Check for Your Unit / Block |
---|---|---|
Entrance / Main Door Directions | If your flat/shop/office has its main entry facing a less favorable direction (e.g. South, South-West, or obstructed path), it may reduce positive energy inflow, particularly for businesses. | Ask for unit facing / door orientation. See if entrance faces open space vs blocked by other structures. Avoid entrances that face directly on a busy road (if noise or pollution causes imbalance). |
Glazing / Large Glass Facades | While glass facades/glazing give light, too much glass especially on West or South-West sides can cause heat, glare, energy drain, discomfort. In Vastu, excessive heat or light can disturb “Fire” element. | If your unit has large west/south windows, check whether there’s shading, awnings or use of reflective / tinted glass. Also check whether sunlight in afternoons will be harsh. |
Retail Units + Mixed Use Conflict | In mixed-use projects, retail areas may have heavy foot traffic, noise, different hours of use; if this is close to your living area, or adjacent to residential part, it may cause energy disturbance. | If your unit is office/residential close to loud retail zones, check for buffer walls, noise insulation, and whether hours of operation are regulated well. |
Multiplicity of Entrances / Exits | Multiple entries/exits are good for flow, but if your unit’s exit leads to negative zones (e.g. towards dumpsters, parking, roads with heavy exhaust) energy may be diverted poorly. | Check positioning of your unit’s entrance relative to paths, parking, etc. Avoid entrance that faces parking area or exhaust vents or has ugly view. Also check whether entrance is cluttered or poorly lit. |
Provisions for Wet Points & Drainage | If wet points (water sources) are not properly located or drain / plumbing is poor, water stagnation can affect energy (water is an important element in Vastu). Also shared water points or plumbing noise may create discomfort. | Check unit layout for toilets / washrooms / drainage; whether bathrooms share walls with kitchens etc; whether plumbing lines cross bedrooms, etc. See if drainage falls away from entrance or NE corner. |
Overhead / Rooftop Load / Structures | Heavy structures above critical rooms (e.g. bedrooms, pooja / altar, main door) may create “pressure zones” in Vastu. Also rooftop water tanks etc. can influence energy negatively if not properly placed. | Ask builder or seller: Is there overhead tank above your unit? Are there heavy structures (solar panels, lift machine rooms, etc.) above your flat? Are balconies overhung creating “roof beams” above living area/head of bed? |
Balcony / Exposure Issues | If balconies are too deep, or face harsh sun directions (west/south), heat buildup and glare may reduce comfort and lead to stress, which in turn affects energy harmony. Also blocked views reduce flow of light/air. | See orientation of balcony, check if it has good shade, see whether trees/other buildings block light in key zones (NE, East). |
Lighting & Natural Light | If some units don’t get morning light (which is a positive in Vastu), or are in shadow for long periods, energy stagnation, gloominess can affect mood, productivity. | Visit the unit at different times of day: morning, midday, evening. Check where sunlight comes from; check whether windows face East/North. |
Clutter & Common Areas | Common areas that are cluttered, dimly lit, corridors narrow etc., reduce “chi / energy flow” and reflect on resident’s well-being. Commercial complexes need good maintenance of common area energetics. | Inspect lobbies, escalators, entrance plazas; see how well maintained they are, how clean, how free from obstacles. |
🔧 Remedies / What To Do If Your Unit Has Some Faults
If you find one or more of these issues for your unit in M3M Urbana, here are practical remedies:
- Use curtains / sun films / blinds on West or South facing glass to reduce harsh light/heat.
- At main door / entrance, use symbols (Swastik, Om), auspicious décor, threshold mats, good lighting.
- If bathroom/wet-point is in a problematic direction, keep door closed, use exhaust fans, avoid water leakage, paint with light colors, keep it clean.
- Install plants in natural light zones, especially North & East; Tulsi, Money Plant etc. help.
- If balconies are west/south, use decorative elements (cloth, trellis, plants) to diffuse light and reduce heat.
- Use mirrors smartly to reflect light from East/North into darker parts of the unit.
- Maintain clutter-free entrance / common areas. Clean & light corridors.
- For overhead loads or beams: either avoid such units or use false ceilings/beams covers or décor to reduce psychological burden.
✅ Verdict: M3M Urbana — Overall Vastu Safety
- Strengths: The project has many positive design points: good location, open spaces, multiple entries, good amenities, glazing, wide approaches and driveways, which help with energy flow.
- Caution Areas: Because much depends on your specific unit — entrance facing, floor, balcony orientation, glare etc., some units will need small adjustments. Commercial vs mixed-use nature also means different energy flows depending on proximity to retail etc.
So I’d say: M3M Urbana is fairly strong in Vastu potential, as long as you choose well. For retail/office units, orientation and entrance/plaza facing is more critical. For residential / serviced units, same checks apply.
