20 x 30 house plan, east facing, as per Vastu
At 600 sq ft, this is a genuinely compact plot, and Vastu placement has to work alongside real space discipline.
Sample 20x30 east-facing 2 BHK plan
On a plot this tight, this layout relaxes the National Building Code's room-size comfort minimums to fit a full 2 BHK — a real option in the planner, and the same trade-off most builders make at this size.
What fits on a 20x30 plot
With the standard setbacks this planner uses — 4 ft on the road side and 2 ft on the other three sides — a 20 × 30 ft plot leaves a buildable rectangle of 24' × 16', or about 384 sq ft of the 600 sq ft plot.
The generated layout uses 384 sq ft of that as ground-floor built-up area, of which about 173 sq ft is open living and dining space.

| Room | Size | Area |
|---|---|---|
| Master Bedroom | 10'2" x 7'2" | 72.7 sq ft |
| Bedroom | 7'9" x 7'2" | 55.6 sq ft |
| Bathroom 1 | 7'6" x 4'3" | 31.7 sq ft |
| Kitchen | 3'10" x 7'2" | 27.7 sq ft |
| Bathroom 2 | 4'3" x 2'10" | 11.9 sq ft |
| Living + dining | open plan | 173 sq ft |
Vastu notes for a 20x30 east-facing plot
On a 20-foot-wide plot, the entrance still belongs in the northeast third of the east wall, but there's meaningfully less room to work with than on a 30x40 plot — every corner earns its place. The kitchen holds its southeast position, though at this size it's often a compact, efficient galley rather than a full room with a separate dining space. The master bedroom anchors the southwest as always; on a plot this size, it's usually also the largest single room by necessity, since there's little room left over for a second bedroom of equal size. The northeast should stay as open as the plot size allows — even a small amount of genuinely clear space there does more for the layout's balance than trying to fit one more room into every corner.

20x30 east-facing plans: common questions
Can a 20x30 plot support a full 2BHK?
Yes, this is the standard configuration at this size, and a compact 3BHK is achievable with careful planning.
Is Vastu placement harder to follow on a small plot?
The zones and directions apply exactly the same way; the difference is simply less room to satisfy every placement rule at once, so priority order (entrance, kitchen, master bedroom) matters more.
Where does the staircase go if I want a second floor later?
South or southwest is the usual placement, and it's worth reserving that space in the ground-floor plan even if you're not building upward immediately.
