Where should the Open Space be, according to Vastu?
Vastu places the open space ideally in the North-East, North, East, and Center (Brahmasthan). North-West and South-East are acceptable alternatives. Placing it in the South-West, South, and West is considered inauspicious.

Why
Leave more open space and setback to the North/East (light quarters) and keep the South-West built-up and heavy.
