Compact Single-Bedroom House with Covered Terrace

This compact single-story house plan is designed to deliver comfortable everyday living within a well-organized and efficient footprint. All spaces are arranged on Level 0, ensuring ease of movement and accessibility while maintaining a clear separation between living, sleeping, and service areas. The home opens into a covered terrace that serves as a welcoming transition between the exterior and interior. This sheltered outdoor space provides a practical area for relaxation or casual seating while protecting the entrance from direct weather exposure. Inside, the living room forms the heart of the home. With its generous proportion relative to the overall size of the house, it accommodates daily activities such as lounging, entertaining, and dining arrangements without feeling constrained. Its central position allows for direct and logical access to the surrounding spaces. The bedroom is positioned to provide privacy and quiet, separated from the main living area while remaining easily accessible. Its size allows for standard bedroom furniture and circulation, making it suitable for comfortable everyday use. A compact hall connects the main interior spaces efficiently, minimizing wasted circulation area. The toilet is placed for convenient access from both the living room and bedroom, reinforcing the functional nature of the layout. The exterior elevations on all four sides—north, south, east, and west—clearly define the building’s simple architectural form. The overall design emphasizes clarity, balance, and practicality, making the plan suitable for small plots, secondary residences, or primary housing where simplicity and efficiency are key priorities. This plan is ideal for individuals or couples seeking a modest, easy-to-maintain home with both indoor comfort and a defined outdoor covered space, all within a straightforward and buildable single-level configuration.
