Size of housing

Based on the requirement to satisfy physiological needs, a minimum of 9–10 m^2 per individual is advised. This square unit is adequate for all purposes and services that our body needs. For a family of five, the total area required therefore is about 50 m^2. The wall height should not be less than 2 m depending on the length of the central axis of the tukul.
