Not quite. It has wheels and the whole unit is towed to location. In my case, the house is in two halves down the middle, the long way, when it is towed in to place. Then the halves are "married" on site and wheels locked, folded up underneath. My place is anchored in place, (pillar and post) minimum required to get insurance. Some have full foundations they are set on. I don't know much about the setup/hook up process as this was done many years ago here.

We're quite ready for the construction. My drawings and data is done and I'm visiting the place between 15th and 18th this month. Prior to that my friend will submit the drawings to the administration and get the initial permissions.

This  is the final draft. Any suggestions ?

Looks amazing!

Can you post a photo of the land where it will be built? I'd love to see the location.

It is pretty remote. But here is the Google Earth image. It's the triangle piece. You can see a machan that we have already built in the top left.

The house will be placed like this

I have some drone videos but I don't know how I can post them here.

Nice! Perfect placement of the house too. Looks like some privacy all around from the trees?  that is going to be a great place to stay!

In India, we have a traditional home design system known as Vastu.

One of my friend who is a co-owner of the property that we're about to develop consulted a Vastu expert and this expert insisted on some changes to our plans which were not possible to achieve. So, while I was there, we changed the plan and are going to build something different. Basic requirements being the same, the new plan looks something like this.

And the finished house will look like this

Interest! It feels "homier" and more welcoming to me, more together, I can't quite put it in words. It feels better than before.

I will read the link you posted tomorrow. I firmly believe there is much good to be found in following the ways of the "old beliefs".

Maybe. Being associated with the housing industry since 1980 (one way or another) I had never heard the term until the mid 90s. Now everyone talks of Vastu.

Interesting. I just read the first bit of the Wiki article and it sounded like something that had been observed for generations. I'll finish the article later this morning.

Work in progress...
