36 x 50 house plan, west facing, as per Vastu
A generous plot size paired with a facing that needs more deliberate entrance planning than east or north.

What fits on a 36x50 plot
With the standard setbacks this planner uses — 4 ft on the road side and 2 ft on the other three sides — a 36 × 50 ft plot leaves a buildable rectangle of 44' × 32', or about 1,408 sq ft of the 1,800 sq ft plot.
The generated layout uses 1,408 sq ft of that as ground-floor built-up area, of which about 595 sq ft is open living and dining space.
Setback rules come from your local municipal byelaws — change them in the planner and every figure above recalculates for your plot.

Vastu notes for a 36x50 west-facing plot
As with any west-facing plot, the entrance belongs in the northwest third of the west wall rather than centered on it. The real advantage of doing this on a 36x50 footprint is that the extra width gives the entrance sequence genuine room to work with — rather than a tight, single-file entry common on narrower west-facing plots, there's space here for a proper transition area between the door and the main living space. The kitchen and master bedroom keep their standard southeast and southwest positions regardless of facing, and at this size both can be fully realized rooms rather than compact versions of themselves. The extra depth toward the rear of the plot is a natural spot for a family room or study, both classically acceptable in the southern and western portions of a west-facing layout.

36x50 west-facing plans: common questions
Does a west-facing plot need extra width to work well?
Not strictly, but extra width like this plot has makes the entrance sequence more comfortable, since west-facing entrances often benefit from a genuine transition space rather than a direct, narrow entry.
Where's the best spot for a family room on a west-facing 36x50 plot?
Toward the rear, in the southern or western portion of the layout, works well and takes advantage of the plot's depth.
Is a west-facing 36x50 plot suitable for a larger family?
Yes, the combined width and depth comfortably support 3-4 bedrooms with proper sizing, a genuine benefit of this footprint over more compact west-facing plots.
