Vastu Tips: How to Avoid Mistakes When Opening a New Business to Increase Income

When starting any new venture—be it a shop, factory, showroom, or any other type of business—it is crucial to pay attention to the direction of placement. According to Vastu Shastra, the zone from north to east should be light, and from south to west—heavy. This means that the northern and eastern parts of the premises should remain relatively open.

To ensure good income, special attention should be paid to directions associated with water and air elements: north and east. The northern direction attracts clients, while the eastern helps retain them. If clients do not come or sales are low, this indicates a negative influence in the northern direction; if clients come but do not stay with you, the problem lies in the eastern direction.

From a Vastu perspective, the presence of toilets, storage rooms, kitchens, or the use of red and yellow colors in these directions creates a Vastu defect. Specialists involved in marketing or working in marketing departments in the eastern direction have a higher chance of establishing good business relationships.

If, despite great efforts, your business (showroom or product) does not gain recognition, you need to carefully examine the southern direction of your workplace. For achieving recognition and building a good reputation, it is critically important that the southern direction is balanced. Toilets and blue-black colors in this area can undermine your reputation, hindering the achievement of expected success, even with hard work.

If clients take a long time to pay after receiving goods, and money is delayed, negatively affecting cash flow and consequently the business, you should balance the southwest direction of your enterprise. Such a condition may be caused by the presence of a toilet, a fire element, or the use of black and blue colors in this area, which creates a Vastu defect. A drilling rig or a warehouse can also create a Vastu defect there.

For the business to develop simultaneously in terms of reputation and finances, it is necessary to closely monitor the directions associated with the fire element. The business cannot function without the correct balance of the fire element. It is important that there are no Vastu defects in this zone, and that it is not located below or on a slope relative to other parts of the business premises.

Bangbae Geunsaeng Mixed-Use Building Project by aoa architects

The design team detailed the specifications for the Bangbae Geunsaeng Mixed-Use Building, developed by aoa architects. For commercial ventures intended for rent, it was considered essential to create a compact layout, utilizing simple rectangular units and centralizing the core that houses stairs, elevators, and restrooms.

The positioning of the elevator and other vertical circulation elements was chosen for the south face of the building because this area does not have mandatory setbacks that would restrict sunlight incidence. The spaces designated for rent were arranged on the north side, separated from the core by a thick structural wall.

This separation ensures that the commercial units maintain a clear rectangular volume, both in their floor plan and cross-section, avoiding the presence of visible beams that could interrupt the environments. Conversely, the core components were relocated to the south to optimize the area available for rent.

This change resulted in the core aligning with the oblique limit of the land, which, in turn, generated an irregularly shaped elevator hall. This arrangement establishes a strong contrast with the rectangular simplicity of the commercial units, lending the common areas a dynamic and visually appealing character.

The elevator shaft, stairwell, and restrooms, being aligned on distinct axes, create geometric openings. These gaps are responsible for allowing natural light into both the ground floor and the partially open basement, casting shadows that constantly change with the movement of the sun.

The dividing wall between the commercial units and the core on all floors features a metallic finish, which contrasts sharply with the rough texture of the exposed concrete of the uninsulated core wall. This metallic wall functions as a backdrop for the vertical circulation volumes and defines the visual identity of the Bangbae building facing the street.

To mitigate the visual impact that a structure composed mostly of metal and concrete might cause, the window frames and handrails were painted green, giving the building a graphic and light identity. The prominent exhaust piping on the front facade, along with the side wall of the elevator roof and the floor plan typology, intentionally dialogues with the works of James Stirling, Louis Kahn, and John Hejduk, while simultaneously challenging the minimalist bias and dominant trends in contemporary Korean architecture.
