Today, one-story houses with three bedrooms are very popular among families with children and elderly people. This convenient layout for people with limited mobility. Such projects are often preferred by owners of small land plots who want to build cozy and comfortable homes. To build a one-story house with three bedrooms, you must first create a project on paper that will take into account all the details of the future structure. To do this, you can turn to specialists, but it’s cheaper to design your house yourself.
As we have already found out, the very first step in the process of building a house is creating a project. At this stage, the layout of the future structure is thought out, the possible volume of electricity and water consumption is calculated, building materials are purchased and technologies are selected that allow saving on the construction of the facility.
In order for all members of a family of 4-5 people to feel comfortable, housing must be built with an area of 60-100 sq.m. At this stage, the wishes of the inhabitants of the future building are taken into account. One-story project three bedroom home pictured may include large kitchen, combined with a living room, fireplace, study, greenhouse, large storage room. Which rooms will be in the house depends on the lifestyle and preferences of the inhabitants of the future building.
Determining key points
In order for the project to meet the requirements of the owners, at the planning stage, it is important to highlight the main points that determine the purpose of the building:
- First, we determine what we will build - a house for permanent residence or country house building.
- We are planning to build additional structures - a barn, cellar, garage, sauna.
- We determine the number of residents and the corresponding number of rooms.
- We take into account the geodetic features of the site.
- We select an area to create a courtyard.
All points, except for the geodetic assessment, can be worked out independently. Based on the key points, a master plan is created according to which a three-bedroom house is built.
More about the plan
The plan according to which construction will be carried out is created in 4 stages:
- The first stage is architectural. At this stage it is taken into account key points, drawing of rooms, doors, window openings, wall thickness and roof slope angle.
- The second stage is constructive. It involves calculating the depth of the foundation, thickness interfloor ceilings, location of the chimney. The roof structure, the presence of beams, rafters are also prescribed, and the quantity is calculated. necessary materials.
- The third stage is the creation of engineering and technical documentation, which should include detailed description ventilation, water, gas supply, sewerage, heating systems.
- The fourth and final stage is the creation of a design project, determining the style, color scheme and arrangement of furniture.
Increasing functionality
To make the plan of a three-bedroom house convenient and comfortable, you need to correctly calculate the location and area of each room. So, the living room area should accommodate the largest possible quantity guests and, of course, all family members. A kitchen can be functional and comfortable if the layout and location are thought out kitchen furniture.
For the convenience of all family members, it is recommended to allocate a room for organizing a dressing room. Although, if desired, a dressing room can be installed in each room. Because projects one-story houses with three bedrooms in the photo, usually include a separate heating system; during the construction process, it is important to allocate a room for the boiler room.
When planning to build a house, you can order its design from a specialist, or you can try to remake one of the available options to suit your requirements. In any case, you need to be clear about what you want. It is highly desirable that your wishes are well thought out. Not everything that seems attractive as an idea is convenient to use. And you need to know such “little things”. We will analyze some of the information, trying to find a suitable project one storey building with three bedrooms. Why is this so? Because this is the most common option and is suitable for families of 4 people. These are the majority.
General planning principles
When you're looking finished projects one-story houses with three bedrooms or are trying to create your own based on what you found, it is important to remember a few points.
These are the principles that it is advisable to adhere to. But this is not a dogma either. Everything can be solved (except for the requirements for boiler rooms). There really are different solutions for different needs and tastes. All you need is desire and a certain amount.
If all three bedrooms are placed next to each other
Many one-story three-bedroom house designs are designed so that all the bedrooms are on one side of the house. On the one hand it is convenient. Relatively noisy rooms - the living room and kitchen are on the opposite side. On the other hand, not everyone likes this arrangement - they are afraid that children may witness unnecessary scenes.
In the project above, this is exactly how the layout is done: all three bedrooms are in right side houses and have approximately the same area. From positive points— all the bedrooms are far from the living room. With this arrangement of rooms, you can calmly watch TV in the living room, receive guests, without fear of interfering with your rest.
The disadvantage is that the toilet and bathroom are located far from the kitchen and boiler room. Not the most convenient option for laying communications. Other features include a long corridor with many doors. This area cannot be used in any way, since the free walls are very small.
When planning a terrace, you need to pay attention to several points at once. First, for optimal lighting it is better if the terrace faces south or east. Secondly, what room will the exit be from? Most often, access to the terrace is made from the living room. This is the most logical case. The second option is to exit from the corridor, which, as a rule, adjoins the living room or kitchen (much worse, but possible). Please note that it is very convenient if there is a kitchen next to the entrance to the terrace - you can bring in/take out dishes, drinks, etc. After all, the terrace is often used for outdoor gatherings.
These two points already partially determine the layout of your home - the living room should have access to the south or east. This means her position is determined. The living room should be adjacent to the kitchen, and preferably all the rooms connected to technical communications“collect” in one zone... That is, you have practically decided where the living room, kitchen, and technical rooms are located. All that remains is to arrange the bedrooms and organize a convenient passage.
But this is not all that needs to be taken into account when planning a terrace. There is a third point - its size. Here the approach is individual - some need a lot of space, others need less. Interesting option— L-shaped terrace that covers the southern and eastern walls of the building. If you glaze it, you can turn it into a summer garden... If you are interested.
And the fourth point, which is also worth paying attention to when developing the layout of the house. The terrace is used intensively and is a favorite place to relax if it offers a view of the garden, a beautifully decorated backyard, a river, etc. If your gaze rests on your neighbor’s fence, no one is interested. In this situation, the terrace is not used, it gradually turns into a “technical room” - to put a lawn mower, dryer, etc. This also determines the position of the house on the site. That is, you have solved most of the problems in planning a house.
Option 1: with a terrace along the entire short wall
Let's look at several projects of one-story houses with three bedrooms and terraces. In the presented version, access to the terrace is made from the living room. This is where it goes kitchen window. If you do wide window sill, the window opens completely, you can pass dishes through the window.
All technical rooms are collected in one place and located near the kitchen. The bedrooms are in opposite end at home, which is generally convenient - you can receive guests or watch TV in the living room and not disturb those who decide to relax.
Additional load-bearing wall in this project there is one - almost in the middle along the long side of the house. The kitchen-living room is one, but you can install a partition and divide the rooms. In this case, you will have to allocate part of the living room, but given the area - almost 17 meters - this is not very critical.
The bedrooms in this project have different sizes: 9, 11, 13 meters. Whether it is convenient or not is up to you to decide. If desired, the size of the bedrooms can be increased by reducing the area of the boiler room (with 3-meter ceilings, an area of 5 square meters is enough, so there is a resource). The smallest bedroom can be enlarged by moving the closet to another wall by moving the partition that encloses the living room. By the way, this project of a one-story house with three bedrooms has another plus - a dressing room at the entrance. It's really convenient.
Option 2: with a short terrace along the length of the side of the house
Let's consider another layout option for a one-story house with three bedrooms and a terrace. It differs in the position of the “wet” block - kitchen/bathroom/boiler room/toilet. They have been moved to the opposite side. The areas of the bedrooms are “evened out” by reducing the area of the kitchen. Please note: the vestibule is made external. This also contributed to the fact that, with relatively small sizes the house is 10 * 14 meters (area 140 square meters) - the dimensions of all the rooms are solid, the width of the corridor is 1.7 meters, which is also not bad.
The terrace has access from the living room and occupies only part long wall. If you play this option, it will turn out very well. For example, you can put a pond nearby, install a beautiful flower bed.
With space under or garage
If you need to place a carport or garage next to the house, you can change the layout so that the entrance to the house is closer to the parking lot. Then there is the opportunity to combine the parking lot and porch canopy. It could turn out very interesting.
When planning a carport, it is better to find space for two cars. Even if you have only one car, guests will come to you and it is much more convenient if it can be placed under the roof. The costs of arrangement are not too different, but you always need to look into the future. Maybe you will have a second car.
What else is good about a carport? Under it you can equip a place to store all kinds of equipment: automobile, gardening. You can also fence off a space there to have a supply of dry firewood near the house. In general, this zone can be used in different ways. AND optimal sizes hers is 8*9 meters or so. This is if the area of the plot allows. If not, you can proceed from the minimum dimensions - 2 meters wider and 1.5 meters longer than your car.
The project presented above for a one-story house with three bedrooms has an area of 100 square meters, made in the form of a rectangle with sides of 8.8 * 12 meters. The location of the bedrooms is still the same - in one block, all technical rooms are also located in one place. With this layout, the corridor turns out to be quite small, which will please many, but it will be a “passage” area in which you cannot place anything.
If you need to place your parents' bedroom separately
When choosing a layout, many people believe that the parents' bedroom should be located at some distance from the children's bedrooms. In this case, the approach to planning changes - an elongated rectangular shape Houses. The long side is divided into three parts by two load-bearing walls.
Such a house with an L-shaped layout is more expensive in cost than a rectangular or square one
Option 1: without corridor
If you divide the house into three parts, it is possible to develop a three-bedroom house layout without a hallway. One third of the house is divided into two bedrooms for children, middle part occupied by a combined kitchen/living room, the last third is divided between the entrance area/bathroom and the parents' bedroom.
Where the parents' bedroom is located, there is an entrance to the bathroom from the kitchen/living room. How successful is this decision? The plus here seems to be a large kitchen/living room. But she is completely passable. That is, you definitely won’t be able to retire in it. You might like this idea. Although, to appreciate the convenience/inconvenience, it is worth living in such a house. Usually not everyone likes this, although at the “idea” stage everything seemed tempting.
Arrangement of rooms in a one-story house with three bedrooms - the parents' room is located separately
Please note that this project of a one-story three-bedroom house does not have a boiler room. If it is necessary, you can highlight it by reducing the area of the kitchen/living room. But then you will need to think through the layout and how to organize the entrance to it. A possible, but not very convenient option is from the kitchen, if it is located near the bathroom. The second one is from the street. But then, you can make an extension to the house. Although, this is determined by the size of the house.
Option 2: with a corridor
A layout with two children's rooms and a parents' bedroom located further away can be implemented in square house(in the picture below). Minimum possible sizes- 12*12 meters. The area is a little more than 140 square meters. In this case, the dimensions of all rooms are close to optimal (square, have an area of more than 10 square meters). The living room is combined with the kitchen but is not a passage.
If possible/desirable, you can do it in a rectangular house, just a square is more preferable, since the cost square meter housing is a little lower. I must say that the winnings are quite small, so you shouldn’t worry too much about it. It is better to proceed from convenience, because you are choosing a project for a one-story house with three bedrooms for your own life.
In this layout option, the parents’ bedroom is completely separate. The advantage of this option is that in children's rooms there is space for. There is also a drawback - the “wet” rooms are located on opposite edges of the house. Device engineering systems it will be more difficult (in addition to sewerage and water supply, you will also have to think about separate ventilation).
Not everyone likes the idea of combining the kitchen and living room. IN in this case The problem can be easily solved by installing a partition. The entrance to the kitchen can be either from the corridor or from the living room.
But, if no other changes are made, the entrance to the living room is only through the kitchen, which is inconvenient. The problem can be solved by making some transformations. The first one is “recessed” entrance area becomes “normal”, in the area of the walls, the partition separating the corridor is removed. A large entrance area is formed, but without warm vestibule. But we get an additional large room that can be well equipped. True, this is a different project for a one-story house with three bedrooms (see below).
From this area you can make an entrance to the living room. It turns out to be next to the entrance, which is quite logical. True, only part of the room remains functional, but the “damage” can be minimized by bringing the doors closer.
You can go even further - remove the partition separating the living room from the corridor. The wall here is load-bearing, so installation of columns will be required. But the layout of the house will be in modern style- from the entrance there is a single space that serves as a living room and common room. For many this seems convenient.
More options
Having a certain set of premises and requirements for their location, you will not get too many options. The layouts below differ in some details. Maybe one of them will suit you.
A one-story house with 3 bedrooms has advantages over a two-story building in its accessibility for people with limited mobility, the elderly and children.
In addition, many land owners prefer to build small multi-storey cottages rather than huge ones. cozy houses on one floor. This article suggests how to make a project for a one-story house with 3 bedrooms.
Before starting the construction of any structure, it is necessary to think over and draw its design.
In this case you can:
- Get maximum comfort from the carefully thought out layout of the house.
- Clearly define the set building materials, their quantity, the preliminary purchase price is determined.
- Calculate approximately economic effect from heating, water and electricity use.
- Savings in the use of building materials.
- The cost of building a house is reduced and the work process is simplified.
Tip: When choosing a project for building a one-story house, you must take into account that for small families buildings with an area of up to 100 square meters are used.
How to design a one-story house with three bedrooms
Single storey with 3 bedrooms adapted to modern world. They look perfect in a forested area. Their layout provides daily comfort for the whole family.
Above the front aisle is a beautifully extended roof, which is a covered porch.
The plan of a one-story three-bedroom house includes:
- The living room is the most large room. There are special compartments in the walls where cabinets and a TV are installed. From the living room there is access to the garden.
- Kitchen. It contains a storage room and large window, through which you can monitor the play of children in the yard.
- Three bedrooms, but if necessary, one more can be added in the attic.
- A spacious corridor through which you can enter any room.
- Between the living room and kitchen there is a fireplace, which is connected to heating system what's in winter time Provides full heating to the entire house.
- IN utility room There is a bathroom and a large bathroom.
How to increase the functionality of your home
Before determining which rooms can be combined, it is necessary to consider each room - its usable area:
- The living room is calculated taking into account all family members and maximum quantity guests.
- The size of the kitchen is planned in terms of its functionality. Here you need to take into account the need for ease of cooking.
- An area is allocated for wardrobes in each room, or you can arrange a common wardrobe with your own hands.
- The boiler room is calculated according to the boiler and its technological requirements.
When distributing premises by size, a lot of nuances are taken into account, so it will not be possible to purchase designs for one-story houses with three bedrooms for free. The owner of the site can understand the basic principles and consider examples, but a professional designer must calculate everything correctly.
The most common associations can be:
- Combined bathroom.
- Living room and kitchen, or dining room and kitchen, as shown in the photo. In this case, one room can be allocated for two zones.
- Boiler room and storage room. Although this option is incorrect, it is often found in homes.
With this combination, you can make maximum use of the area and increase the living room in a one-story house with three bedrooms.
In this case:
- When combined, each room is increased by the thickness of the partition (see) or wall, the thickness of which is at least 10 centimeters.
Three rooms for bedrooms – optimal layout for a one-story house. The video in this article can help you understand the basic principles of room layout that you need to pay attention to before you start designing houses.
Planning your 10x10 three-bedroom home
A one-story 10x10 house with three bedrooms is well suited for a small family planning to have children.
Such a house can be built quickly or completed capital construction from several types of material:
- “Canadian technology” allows you to quickly build a house and operate it for quite a long time.
- Construction from foam blocks is quickly possible, which saves time and carries out insulation according to a simple scheme.
- Brick construction. In this case, building one floor is much easier.
The easiest option for building a three-bedroom house is to use foam blocks or bricks.
In this case it is necessary:
- Lay the strip foundation.
- Make reinforced concrete floors.
- Attic option requires wooden rafters, flat roof– waterproofing of reinforced concrete floors.
The instructions suggest that a three-bedroom house should have:
- Living room.
- Pantry.
- If necessary small room under the wardrobe.
- Kitchen.
- Dining room.
- Shared or separate bathroom.
Tip: When planning your home, you need to pay attention that some rooms can be combined, which will increase the functionality of the entire structure and use the entire square footage to maximum benefit.
Construction of a frame house
Features of construction frame houses are them:
- Construction speed. This is achieved due to the fact that the cottage structure is erected quite quickly.
- Price. This figure is reduced by reducing costs for the construction of a heavy foundation and the use of expensive materials, reducing the speed of construction.
- Installation of structures can be done all year round, which will not affect the final result.
- The light weight of the building does not cause significant shrinkage, so you can begin finishing the house immediately after its installation is completed.
- When manufacturing a frame in a factory, all materials are processed to protect against moisture, harmful chemicals, which protects the house from cracks during operation.
In Russia, it is customary to use two main technologies for the construction of frame houses:
- Canadian, involves the use of dense insulation such as extruded polystyrene foam.
- Finnish, uses low-density mineral wool insulation and a more massive frame.
In any case, when choosing a particular technology, the main criteria should be:
- Quality of construction.
- Durability of use.
- Energy saving.
- Simplicity of design.
- Cheap home.
Although all houses must meet such criteria, the design of a one-story frame house The three-bedroom is the most affordable, in every way.
The disadvantage of such construction when using ready-made frame houses is the lack of a sufficient amount of money at this moment and a certain limitation in the amount of material. Whereas piecemeal technology provides the opportunity to gradually master the available tools.
To make the bedroom comfortable and warm
The sleeping area should be the warmest in the house - and this is understandable. The question is even more relevant when the bedrooms are located on the first floor, the floor of which can be quite cold in winter.
This problem needs attention special attention: both during the construction process and during the production of external and internal finishing works. Then not only the bedrooms, but also the other rooms will be comfortable and cozy.
So:
- In private houses, heating is arranged independently. A solid fuel or wood stove or gas boiler is usually installed as an energy source. Their work will be effective only if the thermal insulation of all structures of the house is performed at the proper level. Otherwise, excessive fuel consumption will greatly affect the family budget.
- And here it doesn’t matter what the dimensions of the building are: small cottage or a house project with 5 bedrooms - no one needs extra expenses. The most optimal solution in this case, there would be an organization additional heating. And there are two options: use ceiling infrared heaters, or install a heated floor system. Heaters are not very convenient due to the fact that they depend on the electrical network.
- Cable and film floors also depend on electricity, but the energy carrier is in water floor systems is hot water, heated by the same boiler. At the request of the customer, heated floors can be provided in the project and built into the floor structure of the first floor during the construction stage.
- For example, it may provide heated floors in each of them. The choice of a specific option for additional heating depends on the design of the house, as well as the type of installed flooring. For example, it is better to install rod mats in concrete screed, and infrared film can be placed in wooden floor, and even under the carpet.
- Water-heated floors are universal, they can fit into any floor structure, and besides, they can be used as the main heating. This even has its advantages: it will eliminate the need for installation heating radiators, which spoil the interior so much. Moreover, the window sill area can be used in the design of a room to much greater benefit by arranging a bed there or equipping a comfortable work place.
- You can see one of the options for such practical use of a window sill in the photo above. If the heating in the house is traditionally equipped, and you feel that there is a need for additional heating, you can install an underfloor heating system without even dismantling the floor. You just have to make a second floor covering.
- As for infrared film heaters, they can be mounted not only on the floor, but also on walls, inclined surfaces, and even on ceilings. In our country, most regions have such a climate that additional heating of the premises will not hurt. And warm floors, like nothing else, help solve this problem.
- Underfloor heating is important not only for bedrooms, but also for bathrooms, which are often adjacent to them. IN big house There are usually several of them. For example, a house project with five bedrooms may include at least three bathrooms, both combined and separate. One of them is the guest toilet, which is usually located on the ground floor, near the entrance.
- The second bathroom, combined with a bathtub, is intended for public use. The entrance to it will be from the corridor or hall. The bedrooms have attached bathrooms for the individual use of their occupants and are only accessible from inside the room. This is usually how matrimonial and guest bedrooms are equipped.
- In addition, a modern project of a 1-storey house with 3 bedrooms may include the following layout: entrance hall; separate kitchen; technical room where the boiler is installed; wardrobe; large living-dining room with access to the terrace.
Sleeping areas are usually concentrated in one part of the house, opposite the dining room and kitchen. Everything is very compact and convenient - all that remains is to think about the design of the house so that its internal contents cannot leave anyone indifferent.
Finishing and interior design
Of course, each inhabitant has his own tastes and preferences, which he can express only in the design of his room. Bedrooms can and should be different, but it is advisable to decorate the rest of the rooms in the same style - this is the only way to achieve harmony.
So:
- The choice of design option is carried out depending on the purpose and area specific premises. Much depends on design features at home, because they can also participate in the decoration load-bearing beams, and wooden frame posts, and a log surface, and brickwork.
- It is also very important from which side: external or internal, the walls will be insulated. So, it is simply impossible to give uniform recommendations for all occasions: we offer options, and you decide whether it suits you or not. You can also ask for help professional designer, unless, of course, you are not afraid that the cost of repairs will increase significantly.
- If you are not building a house yourself, but, for example, buying a cottage with rough finishing, the developer can offer you a choice, and, of course, for an additional fee, of a design project for interior decoration. If you like the concept, but want to change some details, or change color scheme, this can be done by agreement. As they say: “Every whim...”.
- Of course, projects of houses with five bedrooms, one way or another, require the participation of a designer, because it is beautiful to design and comfortably furnish such huge house It's quite difficult on your own. If a person has the funds for such housing, then there will be money for its design. Our tips are for those who do not have such a budget, trying to do everything themselves.
- If the walls of the house need insulation, then you should choose those types finishing materials, which are mounted on a frame, in the cells of which insulation can be placed. In this case, the walls can be sheathed with plasterboard, choosing a beautiful option finishing. And thanks to the huge range of wallpapers and colors for water-dispersion paints, there are a great many options.
- The main thing is to choose and combine shades correctly and not make the interior monotonous. For this, one wall, or its separate areas, can be highlighted with a contrasting color, pattern, or interior sticker. In principle, this can be done using any finishing materials, many of which are also mounted on the sheathing - this various panels, board, laminate.
- All of them are used only to create an accent, as well as facing materials, mounted with glue. These include all types roll coverings, panels made of gypsum and bamboo with a 3D effect, natural and decorative stone, ceramic tiles and various brick imitations - even tension PVC film.
- Now there are so many new products, beautiful modern finishing materials that it is sometimes very difficult to make a choice. Let's say you like simplicity, minimalism, spartan furnishings. Panels will come to the rescue, but not the classic ones made of solid wood, mounted at the bottom of the walls, but smooth ones, with a pronounced wood texture.
- Most often, it is MDF covered with wood veneer, or a wood-polymer composite. You can decorate a wall to the ceiling with such panels, but only one - if you don’t want your bedroom to look like an office. To prevent this from happening, the configurations of the cladding, its texture and colors must be combined, as was done in the example we gave.
- Wall decoration can be done very modestly and discreetly to emphasize, for example, the beauty ceiling structure or luxurious flooring. This means that the emphasis does not have to be on the wall. And if the floor is often covered with carpet, then the ceiling is always visible.
- And there are a great many options: drywall and stretch fabric, wood and glass, gypsum panels and stucco, various combinations ceiling finishing materials. You can see one of these options in the example below. This complex design made of plasterboard, with inserts of stretch glossy film and glazed frames with photo printing.
- She has and practical significance: divides the living-dining room into zones. Of course, this is a design work, and such a ceiling will not be cheap. But in at least one room intended for receiving guests, the ceiling should amaze the imagination. For other rooms, you can choose more modest options.
Don't forget about accessories: beautiful curtains, wall panel, paintings or photographs on the wall in original frames can enliven and decorate any room - even without the use of expensive materials.
Main reason for popularity low-rise construction- ensuring maximum comfortable conditions accommodation. This became possible thanks to the use of autonomous utility networks and implementation modern materials and technology. One of the popular construction options are projects of one-story houses with three bedrooms.
Features of projects of one-story houses with three bedrooms
Single-story buildings have several advantages, which have led to the widespread use of such projects in private housing construction:
- Low load on the foundation. It allows the construction of buildings in conditions of weak-bearing soils;
- The design lacks staircases and communication passages to higher floors. Thanks to this, the layout of the building on one floor allows you to effectively use the available space;
- More high level comfort for the elderly, small children and persons with disabilities, since they do not need to go up to the second floor or even higher.
Important Feature single-story construction projects - creation optimal conditions for two or even three generations of one family to live under one roof. Therefore, projects that take into account the placement of at least three bedrooms and the presence of one spacious room where all the inhabitants can gather are becoming in demand. This is necessary for comfortable stay numerous family members, with each generation receiving its own autonomous space.
Examples of finished projects
Due to increased demand, many different projects of one-story houses with 3 or more bedrooms have been developed. Typical example- project No. 58-01. The one-story high cottage has large area(197.08 sq. m.) It allows you to accommodate not only three spacious bedrooms (from 15.3 to 18.5 sq. m.), but also, thanks to competent planning, separate the recreation area from the living room and kitchen-dining room with a spacious hall (23.7 sq. m.)
With terrace and stone claddingPlacing three bedrooms in a one-story house is feasible even in a small area construction project. An example of such a solution is project No. 59-61 with a total area of only 102 square meters. m. Three bedrooms are separated by a spacious living room (20.6 sq. m.), which can comfortably accommodate the inhabitants of the house. An important feature of the building plan is that one bedroom is located separately from the other two. This is done to accommodate a family with a small child there, so that his crying or restlessness does not disturb the sleep of others. Or, on the contrary, for the relaxation of older people away from restless and noisy youth.
A one-story house with an area of 10x10 meters provides some freedom of action. Of course, this is not a two-story mansion, where each family member will have their own spacious room, but also not a house with an area of 50 square meters, which accommodates not only a utility area, but also two, or even three or four rooms.
The number of rooms, their sizes, and purpose are much easier to vary when the area of the house is 100 square meters. And there are many more projects with such a square footage. Consider the most optimal projects for comfortable living of a large or small family so that it is easier for you to choose the appropriate option.
A one-story house on a plot takes up more space than a building of the same area, but with two floors. However, for a family with children or elderly or disabled relatives, this option is more preferable - it is safer and more convenient.
And a staircase that would lead to the second floor would take up useful space.
But there are other advantages of such a building.
- The usable area is enough to accommodate a family of 4 or even 5 people.
- The level of injuries is reduced due to the absence of stairs.
- Makes house cleaning easier.
- The design of all rooms of the house can be done in the same style.
- The house warms up faster and retains heat longer.
- House square shape, the number of solutions is large.
- The foundation does not need additional reinforcement, since it must support only one floor.
A one-story 10×10 house can be comfortable and spacious. The layout of the rooms and their location depends on the size of the family. So everyone will feel comfortable in it, including guests who, no, no, and even want to stay overnight.
Important: Please note that the stated area of 10×10 does not mean that its living or total area will be so. 10-20 sq.m. will be taken over external walls and interior partitions used for zoning.
That's why usable space, with which you will operate, there will be 80-90 m 2 left. And this is quite enough - see for yourself.
The presented version of the house has total area 76.55 sq.m., of which 48.25 – living area. And only one room (the living room) is a walk-through room.
- 2 children's rooms of 9.32 sq.m.
- Bedroom 11.58 sq.m.
- Hall 18.03 sq.m.
- Kitchen 7.32 sq.m.
The remaining area was able to accommodate a boiler room, a bathroom, a vestibule or dressing room and a hall.
If you don’t need 2 children’s rooms, one room can be used as an office or guest room. If the house is heated double-circuit boiler and a boiler room is not needed, the bathroom can be made separate or the freed-up space can be used for a wardrobe, pantry, or dryer.

A small family does not need additional living rooms. And if necessary, guests can be accommodated in the living room for the night.
Please note that the total area of this house includes the area of external walls and partitions.
- A corridor (8 sq.m.) leads from the entrance deep into the house.
- To the left and right hand from it there are doors to bedrooms of 16 sq.m.
- The corridor turns into a hall, at the end of which a room for technical and utility needs with an area of 5.4 sq.m. is fenced off. The area of the spacious hall is 18.6 sq.m.
- The house has a spacious combined unit (12 sq.m.) and a kitchen combined with a living room.
If desired, the kitchen can be moved to the technical room, and the living room can be converted into two zones: a guest room and a relaxation area, or a cool home office can be equipped.
If you do not touch the layout, then in a fenced-off room you can arrange a boiler room, a dryer, an additional bathroom or a closet.
The advantage of this project is that each of the rooms, be it residential or utility, is not a walk-through room.
Rooms should be located in the house not only so that everyone feels spacious and comfortable. The orientation of the house to the cardinal points should also be taken into account. So, a bathroom, kitchen, pantry, boiler room will completely survive the lack of light. But bedrooms, children's rooms and the living room need long-lasting and sufficient natural light.
This project has a total area of almost 80.96 sq.m, with a living area of 53.96 sq.m, and the living area consists of 2 bedrooms and a living room.
- Bedroom 1 – 14.37 sq.m. It can be a guest room, an office or a nursery.
- Bedroom 2 – 16.07 sq.m.
- Living room – 23.52 sq.m.
- Kitchen-dining room – 10.91 sq.m.
- Combined bathroom – 6.06 sq.m.
A vestibule leads into the house, at the end of which there is a boiler room or storage room with an area of 3.28 sq.m.
The area of the house is 10x10 by 2.3 meters. These premises can be sacrificed if the size of the site does not allow them to remain. And make the entrance from the street directly into the hall, fencing it off, for example, plasterboard wall with a door.
The advantage of this option is that, having accommodated 3 living rooms in the house area, it was possible to make each of them separate.
In a house with an area of 100 square meters, it is quite possible to plan not only the living area and kitchen and technical premises. It is possible to arrange open terrace, which is the dream of everyone who buys a country private one-story house 10x10. The layout of the rooms will be practical and comfortable.
Take a look at the proposed project for yourself. It has three bedrooms of 11.9; 12.2 and 12.5 sq.m. and living room 20.2 sq.m. The space between the rooms is a kitchen, which also serves as a dining room with an area of 13.1 sq.m. Toilet room combined, located next to the entrance to the house.
The living room has four windows and sliding door. The room receives a lot of natural light. Therefore, you can make a glass veranda behind it. And go to it almost straight from home. If this solution seems inconvenient to you, install a door instead of one window. And the window can be moved to the place of the existing sliding doors.
The same terrace, but smaller in size, can be made in front of the entrance to the house.
Any of the presented options can be changed. For example, moving a wall to make a room or terrace larger. Demolish interior partitions, which are not load-bearing, to make the rooms more spacious (loft style). And changing the purpose of the room will not be as difficult as it seems. After all, this private house, and not an apartment in a high-rise building.
One-story house 10×10: room layout and its basics
A 10x10 house is considered a medium sized house. Moreover, it is a one-room apartment. And, despite all its advantages, its external walls cannot be moved apart to separate one room.
Therefore, it is worth initially deciding which rooms in the house are necessary and which you can do without.
- We need a living room. This is not a master bedroom, but a gathering place for the whole family. This room should not be neglected. We give him the most spacious room.
- The number of bedrooms depends on the size of the family. A young family may soon expand, so there should be at least 2 bedrooms.
- The kitchen, if its space allows, can also be a dining room. Even an area of 10-13 sq.m can accommodate both a cooking area and a dining set.
- The bathroom is one of the most necessary technical premises.
- Pantry. If you have space, great. Otherwise, supplies are stored in outbuildings in the yard. But you can allocate a space of 1.5-2.5 sq.m. for it in any way in the kitchen or in the hall.
- Wardrobe. Without separate room you can get by with it. Install wardrobes from floor to ceiling. This will solve the problem of placing things. Useful ideas and tips can be gleaned from our article on decorating a small dressing room.
- A dryer is optional.
- A boiler room is only needed if the home has a stove installed steam heating. But most families use double-circuit boilers, gas heating and install heated floors. Therefore, the need for this room disappears and additional square footage is freed up. And just right for a storage room or bathroom.
- Terrace. You can refuse, but you don’t want to.
