Who it suits

This service is for you if:

  • A group of 3+ families has gathered around a shared idea and is looking for land.
  • A developer wants a clear, premium positioning: a «Vedic architecture» residential village.
  • You are creating an eco-village, ashram or retreat community and need a sacred spatial structure.
  • You are ready to invest in public spaces, not only private plots.
Who it does not suit

This is not your service if:

  • You want to build one house: choose the private house concept.
  • The group has no agreement on values and shared areas.
  • The aim is only to maximize profit per square metre without public space.

What is included

A settlement is not simply several houses standing near each other. It is a new organism, where public spaces have their own orientation and logic. I place into the master plan the same principles used in a private house, but at the scale of the whole territory.

  • Large-scale site analysis: relief, water, noise, insolation, winds and true-north orientation with compass correction.
  • Master plan with plot subdivision, roads and public zones.
  • Brahmasthan of the settlement: public centre, square or temple.
  • Concepts for standard houses: 2-4 types for different families and budgets.
  • Public buildings: common dining hall, school, medical point, bathhouse or retreat centre, if needed.
  • Engineering networks: water, gas and electricity input points aligned with classical Vastu principles.
  • Green zones: forest, garden and vegetable plots placed according to Vastu.
  • Site-awakening ceremonies: muhurta for the foundation and coordination with pandits.
  • Optional: legal roadmap for acquiring land.

For whom

Group of families

3-10 families united by a common idea: a Vedic community, ancestral settlement or eco-village. They want to live near each other, each in their own home.

Developer / investor

A landowner or developer who wants a premium residential village with a clear philosophy and positioning: not «another village», but a Vedic architecture village.

Community

An esoteric retreat, Vedic community, ashram or eco-village where the task is not just to build houses, but to create an integral sacred space.

How we work

  1. Strategic session (2 hours online): general concept, values and financial model.
  2. Territory analysis (2-3 weeks): geodesy, orientation, water bodies and surroundings.
  3. Master plan (4-6 weeks): general plan, plot subdivision and public spaces.
  4. Standard house concepts (4-6 weeks): 2-4 projects for different families.
  5. Coordination with local contractors and authorities throughout the project.
  6. Implementation support until the first houses are commissioned.

Example: a 25 ha settlement, land value €500,000, four house types and 18 plots. Master plan €7,500 + house types €12,000 + support €5,000 = approximately €24,500 total.

For settlements in Ukraine I have a trusted land-management specialist: applications to the village council, document templates for a private enterprise, a communication scheme with the district administration, expansion of village boundaries if needed, and change of land designation.

In other countries I work with your local lawyer, or your land specialist adapts the general method to local legislation.
