Powayseller, thanks for the post on vastu housing. I learned something new today. I follow Feng-Shui principles but I never knew about Vastu. I never liked south facing houses because in San Diego, it’s simply too hot.
I looked at the pictures and I find the Vastu houses too imposing. I would rather live in an architecturally understated house. My ideal house would be a mid-century modern type home. I’m so sick of the Tuscan, Spanish, Italian, Hollywood Regency style houses around SD (but i live in one, yuk). I wish developers would do something more innovative.
As far are an alternative to granite, how about concrete? A while ago there was an LA Times article on concrete counters tops. It’s too bad that they are expensive.
PS, thanks again for the info on Vastu houses. I’ll definitely do some more reading. I’m sure there are many different ways to make a house Vastu.
