What Are the Ideal Locations for Cubicles in Office as Per Vastu

There is no traditional term called “cubicle vastu.” This is a recently derived word, used in offices for convenience. In simple terms, we may call them partitions. The modern word “cubicle” is used instead of “partition.”

We apply partition-related vastu principles to these cubicles. However, cubicles and partitions are not exactly the same; there are slight differences between them.

A partition means a wall that divides the room completely, touching both the floor and the ceiling. A cubicle, on the other hand, usually stands about 4 or 5 feet high from the floor, in some cases, even around 42 inches.

A cubicle is essentially a half-partition wall, made using readymade materials. Such cubicle setups can be completed within a day inside office premises.

The process is simple and provides a certain level of privacy to the staff.

Nowadays, employees, especially female staff, prefer this cubicle system. It provides them a sense of personal space, somewhat like a small cabana within the workplace.

It is well known that the Northeast direction should never be disturbed in any property. While creating cubicle partitions in an office, one should be extremely cautious while dividing the space.

The Northeast portion should never be separated or blocked from the main area. If the Northeast is divided, the entire office may face negative results. Now, let us discuss these cubicle partitions further.

After carefully observing the entire office, we identified some major negative vastu issues:

1. The main entrance door was in the Southwest-West direction, which is visible in the above image.

2. The East direction was being accessed through the Southeast area, which was clearly shown with a red-colored arrow mark in the image above.

3. The Chairman’s chamber was located in the Northwest zone.

Great Positive Impact in This Office:

The East direction had a 2 feet depression, which acted as an excellent vastu support for the office. This was clearly visible with a mist color in the image above.

We suggested only 3 simple corrections, which were very easy to implement.

The office’s monthly rent was Rs.2,50,000/-, and the total cost of our proposed corrections was only Rs.1,00,000/-. In fact, the correction cost was less than 50% of their monthly rental, very reasonable for long-term vastu harmony.

The director and we sat together in the Chairman’s chamber and explained how effortless it would be to implement those 3 corrections.

These vastu corrections were a one-time process. However, the Chairman did not agree to make even those small modifications we suggested. Generally, we never insist on implementing changes against one’s wish because FATE is most important than anything else.

Despite that, we humbly requested (almost pleaded) with the Chairman to perform the corrections for the welfare of the employees, as the company was already facing financial troubles.

Within just one year, the company lost its entire business. The employees started leaving and began searching for jobs elsewhere. During our follow-up inquiry around June 2011, we found that the company had lost its credibility with investors and directors. Ultimately, the company shut down, and all staff moved to other organizations. The shutters were closed permanently.

Let us discuss:

The office is rectangular in shape and the dimensions are approximately 250 feet from East direction to West and 150 feet from South to North, totaling around 37,500 SFT.

The main entrance of the office is located at Southwest-West. This is not an auspicious placement. As changing the main door was not possible, we recommended a minor correction for this issue.

Because of the cubicle partitions, the inner portions of the East and Northeast corners were accessible only through the Southeast direction.

Later, the chairman of the company began consuming alcohol and eventually became addicted. He started attending the office only after drinking.

He lost focus on management, and one after another, the experts in the office left and joined other companies. By early 2012, the office was closed, and they applied for IP/bankruptcy.

At the final stage, we received information that they wanted to approach a vastu consultant. Unfortunately, it was too late. They were highly educated and USA returned NRIs. Even their domain name was taken over by someone else. Sadly, they could not even retain their domain, which once held a strong reputation in the market. That domain started with the letter “G.”

Description of That Office:

1. The main entrance of the office was at Southwest-West.

2. Cubicles were placed towards the North, which were in wrong positions.

3. The head of the office was strongly against Vaastu and ignored any correction suggestions. Observing his rigid nature, we proposed only one correction, but he did not accept it.

4. Toilets were constructed in the Northeast corner.

5. The entrance door to the boss’s chamber was wrongly positioned.

6. The Northeast corner was blocked by partitions. To reach the Northeast, the staff had to go through the Southeast area.

Our biggest mistake was visiting the office without charging consultation fees. The chairman gave no importance to our recommendations. When we left, we expressed our disappointment to “S,” the director who invited us to visit this company.

Northeast Cubicles:

In large offices, the Northeast should never be closed with cubicles. This is an incorrect placement while planning cubicles.

Avoid closing the exact East direction with cubicles.

The North should have enough open space for easy access.

The most suitable cubicle placements are in the South, West, and Southwest quadrants.

Before planning cubicles, check the height of the partitions. If the partitions are low, they can be arranged throughout the premises except in the North, East, and Northeast areas. If cubicles must be placed in these three areas, ensure to leave some open space at East, North, and Northeast directions.

While sitting in office cubicles, the best facing directions are East or North. It is ideal to sit closer to the West and South sides of the office.

The management should ensure that employees face East, North, South, or West directions while working, but not Southeast, Northwest, or Southwest. Such inclined arrangements may not bring favorable results.
