Single story 3 Bedroom Residential layout designed

Overview of the 3-Bedroom House Plan

This floor plan illustrates a compact, single-story 3-bedroom residential layout that is designed to maximize space; it is ideal for a small family or a starter home. It highlights open living areas and natural flow among common rooms, with private sleeping quarters. The total footprint seems to be about 10.5 meters in length by 8.5 meters in width (based on the given scaled dimensions, assuming units in millimeters for architectural precision, translation into practical room sizes). The overall style is modern and minimalist with clean lines, integrated cabinetry, and shading color coding-light beige for living and bedroom areas, blue for bathroom, and wood tone accents for kitchen elements. Walls are thick black lines, doors are arcs, and furniture icons present functional placements. The plan includes two external porches for added outdoor connectivity, promoting ventilation and curb appeal in a tropical or temperate climate.

Entry and Circulation

Access to the home is primarily through the main entrance located at the bottom left corner of the house, which comprises a small concrete step measured to be 350 mm high, ultimately giving way to a covered entry area. This entrance area leads directly into the bedrooms in the southern part of the house. Next to the main entrance is a modest front porch area measuring about 2.07 m by 3.50 m, which is roofed over and provides a welcoming buffer area for the house.
On the opposite side (top-left), a wall porch (approximately 1.07m x 3.55m) projects out from the living room area, providing a shaded external area. This porch opens up internally via sliding or French doors, which enhances cross breezes between the spaces. A further small side porch (approximately 1.06m x 3.40m) also protrudes from the Northeastern Corner of the building, adjacent to the bathroom access. Internal circulation is designed to be intuitive, with wide door passages (approximately 0.90m to 1.00m) and minimal corridors to move between the entrance area, the bedrooms, and the living-kitchen hub.

Living and Dining Area

The heart of the home is the spacious living room, located in the central-eastern part of the plan, measuring about 3.91m by 4.74m, or about 18.5 sq mt total. Its location allows for the best use of natural lighting through the east- and south-facing windows, which are implied by the open wall spaces. There is a sofa group located against the northern wall and the coffee table placed centrally within the living area. There are no physical boundaries between the living and kitchen spaces, creating a social, multipurpose area that can be utilized for entertaining or family functions.
A small dining nook, based on the adjacent open space near the counter of the kitchen, ostensibly measures 1.76m x 1.59m and appears integrated with the sitting area, in which a table could accommodate 4 to 6 people.

The windows in the living room have eastern exposure, and storage units or media storage have been in-built along the walls.

Kitchen

Introduced neatly into the northeastern quadrant (measuring approximately 2.00 m x 1.76 m, or about 3.5 square meters), the kitchen follows a linear, galley-style configuration with an L-shaped counter. Important characteristics include:

Facilities present: Sink and countertop workspace on eastern wall (1.59 m length).
Built-In Cabinets and Upper Storage Area on the Walls Made of Wood
A compact cooking zone with a stove or cooktop (0.95m x 0.95m), preferably located towards the living room for monitoring the cooking activities.

Adjacent pantry/utility closet space (depth: 0.30 m): Space for appliances such as a refrigerator. The blue tile used as accents in the kitchen connects with the bathroom, while the kitchen's openness to the living room makes the former section feel insolated, which makes it functional while still feeling modern and airy.

Bedrooms

The plan also offers three spacious bedrooms, each fitted with double beds and adequate wardrobe storage options. This ensures privacy and comfort. All rooms have built-in cupboards, as depicted by recessed wall cabinets, 0.60-1.00m deep, and are designed to allow for proper ventilation through the windows on the external walls.

1. Master Bedroom (Southern Bedroom 1): This room is located directly off of the main entrance (3.40 m x 2.25 m, approximately 7.65 sq. meters) and is a primary bedroom with a queen-size bed placement along the western wall, providing a private door to the side porch for morning sunlight and a small built-in desk or nightstand area (0.77 m wide). This would be an appropriate location for the homeowner, providing easy access without disturbing other members of the household.

2. Bedroom 2 (Central-Southern): This bedroom is located symmetrically beside the master bedroom (3.00m x 2.25m, approximately 6.75 square meters); however, it is designed similarly with a double bed along the west wall and a closet area located along the east wall. The bedroom is accessible via a short hallway leading out to the living space, making it easily convertible for a guest or home office, with adequate space for further accoutrements, such as a dresser (1.24m along the southern wall).

3. Bedroom 3 - Northern Bedroom: The smallest of the trio, but still very comfortable, measuring 2.34 m x 3.40 m (approximately 8 square meters), is located in the northwest corner and is adjacent to the wall porch. This bedroom has one double bed against the northern wall, with fitted storage above (1.11 m wide), and provides direct access onto the porch for a quiet, semi-private tete-a-tete. The narrow, elongated shape lends itself to a reading nook or child's play area.

Bathroom and Utilities

One compact bathroom (1.06 m x 1.75 m, ca. 1.85 sq. m) is also set into the northeast, reached by a short vestibule (0.53 m deep) from the kitchen and northern bedroom. Features include:

Blue-tiled walls and flooring create a clean, water-resistant look.
Fixtures to be included: pedestal sink-0.59m wide, toilet, and shower stall-included, though not indicated, but no bathtub to save space.

Ventilation likely by way of a small window or an exhaust fan toward the side porch. No additional half-baths show a minimalist design where laundry could be integrated into the pantry of the kitchen or in one of the bedroom closets.

Additional Features and Design Notes

- Storage and Built-Ins: Throughout, there is a plan to integrate wall-mounted shelves and icons for under-bed storage, working to maximize vertical space within this modestly sized home. The interior space is estimated to be approximately 80-90 square meters total, excluding space on porches.
- Natural Light and Flow: Large window placement, while not specifically dimensioned, is suggested in the open walls. This ensures natural light, with the orientation limiting direct afternoon sun. Dead-end rooms are avoided, facilitating a loop from entrance to porches.
- Sustainability Touches: The porches and integrated kitchen-living area indicate good passive cooling, and the constrained footprint likely means cost-effective construction, e.g., through the use of modular walls.
- Potential Customizations: This plan can easily be modified to accommodate accessibility needs (wider doorways) or expansion (en-suite bathrooms in the master bedroom).

Overall, it appears that this 3-bedroom plan is a practical blueprint, considering its affordability, functionality, and cozy popularity, as seen in either an urban or suburban context. This said, if scaled up, this dwelling would present a cozy and convenient sanctuary.
