Plan of one-story houses up to 150 sq. m. What is included in the design solution

  • 03.11.2023

When creating a plan for a relatively small house, the designer is obliged not only to meet the expected budget, but also to offer the most functional option. To accomplish this interesting, but rather complex task, there are two options: standard and individual projects.

Standard designs of houses up to 150 sq. m embody an ergonomic living space and are excellent for mass residential development. This economical plan involves rationalizing costs through budget building materials and simple volumetric-spatial solutions. A typical project is designed for average climatic indicators and terrain.

An individual project allows you to give free rein to the imagination of both the customer and the architect. A custom home plan allows you to find the perfect balance between quality and price, necessity and aesthetics. The disadvantages of such a solution may be an increase in the cost of the project and its lengthy implementation.

Both options for house designs up to 150 sq. m allow the use of additional structural elements that can expand the functionality of the building and improve its appearance. For example, a house can be decorated with a balcony or veranda. A flat roof to create a relaxation area with a patio or flower garden will help diversify your leisure time.

Projects of houses up to 150 sq. m for the whole family

Compact, but at the same time giving free rein to the imagination of interior designers, house designs up to 150 sq. m are recognized as universal in their class. They are equally suitable for small country houses and for a good-quality country cottage, comfortable for a family of 4-6 people. Based on the principle of “necessary and sufficient”, they nevertheless have an aesthetic appearance and a well-thought-out layout.

Most of them have at least two bedrooms, spacious kitchens and living rooms. The characteristic layout is represented by a floor division into a recreation area (sleeping) and a utility block. So, on the ground floor there is a kitchen with a dining room, a living room, as well as a boiler room and storage rooms, and on the second floor there are the owners’ bedrooms and a children’s room. It is quite possible and appropriate to make a basement, set up your own garage or workshop. The most comfortable house designs up to 150 sq. m have their own garage, terrace and several bathrooms.

As for choosing the number of floors of a house, there are three options: one-story and two-story buildings, as well as buildings with an attic. All options have their advantages and disadvantages, so when choosing a project you need to focus on your own financial capabilities and needs.

At the same time, well-thought-out designs of houses up to 150 sq. m always take into account the price-quality ratio, convenient location, landscape, rational layout and advantageous location of the house on the site.

Anyone who has only a small apartment dreams of a one-story private house, where several bathrooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, a work area and a library are harmoniously placed. And such a project of a one-story house with three bedrooms is always relevant due to the presence of a large number of standard inexpensive architectural plans. Frame buildings, as well as houses made of brick, concrete or reinforced concrete panel slabs, are popular.

A one-story house is especially suitable for residents with disabilities, elderly people and children. There are no stairs leading to another floor, and moving around the rooms is easy.

Where does construction begin?

First of all, it is important to take into account the special characteristics of the territory (in particular, its slope) and the presence of a yard.

The layout of the premises is what lies at the core. It is created in the form of drawings.

Attention!For proper compilation building plan necessary involve in work existingsketches of projectsdetailed documentation, diagrams and drawings, photos of one-story residentialhouses, 3Dmodeling.

A custom-made house project involves translating all the developer’s ideas into reality. The cost of such a service is quite high.

Advantages of forming a project:

  1. An individual apartment with three bedrooms is a guarantee of comfortable living, safety of nerves and the result obtained.
  2. The project sets the progress of construction and helps determine the volume of purchased materials.
  3. At the initial stage of document development, water supply, heating and electricity supply schemes are formed to clarify the estimate.
  4. Projects of one-story houses with three bedrooms determine the division of powers for the phased construction of a residential structure.

A small family of 3-4 people will be comfortable constantly staying within a 9 by 12 house, and for a large number of residents the project of a one-story house 12x12 with 3 bedrooms will be relevant - total area 145 m2, and thanks to the use of additional extensions (veranda, garage, attic ) you can increase the usable area ratio by 40-50%.

In the typical project shown (Diagram 1), the entrance to the building is through the porch. There are no additional extensions. In such a house with an area of ​​127 m2, it will be possible to competently design three isolated bedrooms, an entrance vestibule and a spacious living room. On the back side of the house there is a terrace, which, if necessary, can always be converted into a winter garden, equipped with heating. Entrance to the terrace area is only through the living room.

The typical plan diagram (diagram 2) of a one-story residential building with 3 bedrooms shows a bathroom combined with a bathtub, and a small corridor leading from the living room to the bedroom. It creates a single area with two bedrooms and an entrance to the bathroom. The parents' room is isolated from the other rooms on the opposite side of the house. All bedrooms are separated from each other.

The spacious living room is the center of the house, making it the warmest. In the adjacent vestibule, you can make a small walk-in dressing room by installing cabinets with compartments for shoes and clothes along any walls of the room.

Formation of a brick building project

This three-bedroom house is especially popular in Moscow and other areas. Its construction implies:

  • installation of a strip base;
  • erection of walls and laying of reinforced concrete floors;
  • installation of roof and truss structure.

Projects of one-story brick houses up to 150 m2 require a single-pitch or gable roof. Due to its flat structure, it will need enhanced protection from moisture.


Garage as an addition to the building

Projects of one-story houses with three bedrooms often include this extension. In this case, the parking canopy is combined with the porch. If space allows, the area is allocated for two cars at once. Its average size is 8x9.

Rules and options for creating a terrace

It can have any shape and should face the east or south side from the hallway, kitchen or living room. There are 2 options for its formation:

  1. Terrace on the short side. At the same time, all technical rooms are grouped together, and recreation rooms are separated.
  2. A shortened terrace along the long side of the building. The kitchen, bathroom, and boiler room are combined into one sector, and the bedrooms and children's rooms are located along the long side of the house with an area of ​​150 m2.

We increase the functionality of the project

This problem can be solved by combining adjacent rooms and using a competent approach to using each square meter of usable area. It should be based on the following nuances:

  1. How spacious the living room will be depends on the number of residents in a private house and the number of likely guests.
  2. Kitchen parameters should be calculated based on the number of household appliances and the size of the family. The plan schematically shows the placement of furniture and special kitchen equipment in advance. This is worth paying attention to, since pieces of kitchen furniture should not only fit harmoniously into the interior, but also not interfere with the residents’ cooking.
  3. In all rooms of the recreation area it is necessary to provide space for a wardrobe.
  4. In accordance with this project, the heating boiler is installed in a separate extension near a residential building. This is done to prevent the possibility of dirt getting into the rooms. This technical room is formed in accordance with all necessary standards.

It is quite difficult to think through such an option for an individual project on your own, so you will need to resort to the help of specialists from an architectural company or place an order for the development of this documentation of suitable functionality.


Project of a one-story residential building with three bedrooms, custom-made

The diagram shows a custom-made project with a heating boiler located inside the house and two entrances to the building - from the front and back. The attic space can be converted into a small attic.

In the proposed layout, the vestibule, although small in size, separates the area with the heating boiler from the rest of the rooms, and due to the separate entrance to this auxiliary room, there is completely no chance of dirt spreading throughout the residential building. The only door leading from the vestibule to the rooms helps retain heat in the house. And its constant maintenance is ensured by a chimney built into the wall.

Such projects of one-story houses up to 150 m2 are good because they have two separate bathrooms of different sizes and an isolated toilet. These rooms are located near the bedrooms and quite far from the living room and kitchen.

Projects of one-story residential buildings up to 150 m2 (for example, houses 9 by 12 or 9 by 15 m), in contrast to small-sized building options, allow the combination of rooms into one in order to increase the level of comfort and functionality. There are 3 options for solving this problem:

  1. Combine the toilet with the bathroom.
  2. Combine a storage room and an auxiliary room with a heating boiler located in it.
  3. To increase the functionality factor, connect the dining room with the living room, hall or kitchen.

Important! One separate room is determined for combining premises for eating in order to free up usable space for another room.

If you use the floor option of combining rooms in a building of one floor, then there will be a need to expand the area parameters of each room by the width of the load-bearing or interior wall. It is important to remember that the distance by which the increase is made must be ≥ 10 cm.

Example of a project with space consolidation

Individual project 1, presented below, included: three bedrooms and a dressing room located in one of the bedrooms. The front porch is the central entrance to the house. There is a back entrance to the terrace from the back of the building. From it you can only access the next two bedrooms, while the third is isolated and has access to the wardrobe department.

The long corridor running through the center of the house and allowing access to all living and living areas is very convenient. Thanks to this layout, none of the rooms is a passageway. If the customer wishes, it is possible to create a wardrobe or work space in any bedroom with or without a partition. Virtually, the house is divided into zones: night (bedroom) and day (living room and auxiliary rooms). A separate boiler room is located near the main entrance to the building, and you can only get to the heating boiler by passing through the hall and vestibule.

Zoning of a three-bedroom house project:

  1. Entrance area. This includes a vestibule, a bathroom, a room with a heating boiler and a hall.
  2. Kitchen with open passage to the dining-living room.
  3. Bedroom with dressing area.
  4. A glazed terrace from which you can enter the bedroom and living room, and exit the house from the back entrance.

Combining a kitchen and a living room as part of a project for one-story residential buildings up to 150 m2 makes it possible to make the dining room space in the house practically isolated. In the summer, it is important to include a terrace here. Due to the combination of several rooms, a small hall was formed - a partition between the bedrooms and common areas. All recreation areas are fenced with walls and a door to eliminate the possibility of unwanted aromas from the kitchen and bathroom.


The next project of a fairly large one-story house with an area of ​​160 m2 has a different layout from the first option, suitable for families with children of different ages. The parents' lounge is located at the opposite end from the children's bedrooms, while the children's rooms are also maximally isolated from each other. The comfort and functionality of this project are as follows:

  1. The parents' bedroom has plenty of space for a double bed, a work area and a small dressing area. The bedroom opens onto the living room without interfering in any way with the children’s personal area.
  2. Opposite, across a small hall (or living room area), is the nursery for younger children. The space in this room is enough to organize all the necessary areas: recreation, study and play.
  3. The room for older children is located at a greater distance from the parent's bedroom. There is also full functionality here.
  4. Projects of one-story brick (or any other type) houses with 3 bedrooms must necessarily include rooms such as:

    1. Guest room.
    2. Kitchen or dining room (combining them is allowed).
    3. Storage room and dressing room.
    4. Bathroom and toilet – combined with a bath or separate.

    A terrace, vestibule, room with a heating boiler can be included in the project at the personal request of the customer. There are quite a lot of options for their formation. For example, the construction of a boiler room can be designed directly next to the house, and the terrace can be designed as part of the overall plan, or a veranda can be added.

    The owner of a house “brought to life according to his idea and sketch!”

    House parameters:

    What was done

    When Customers come to us with bright, modern ideas for their future home, we become doubly excited! After all, working on a new stylish project is always interesting and a challenge, how to implement all the bold ideas from a constructive point of view, what materials to use? Vladimir bought a plot of land with picturesque views of the Oka bank! This view could not be ignored, so a dizzying terrace (51.1 m2) and a large balcony, oriented towards beauty, became an indispensable attribute of the future house! Vladimir wanted to relax in nature in a wooden house, but it was necessary to build a house in a short time, and frame construction technology became the ideal solution for such problems! If we’re going to be different, it’s in everything! The house was made even more spectacular by the vertical finishing of imitation timber made of durable larch, painted in natural shades with emphasized wood texture. Laminated windows complement the modern look of the house! It turned out to be an excellent country house, with highlights and at the same time incredibly functional.

    It all started with an individual project found by the Customer’s family on a European website. It was with him that she came to our office for the first time. We made preliminary calculations for the project, took a tour of the existing construction site, shook hands and work began to boil! The architect improved and adapted the project to the site and the Client’s family; the foreman “planted” the house on the site. Based on geological surveys, it was decided to place the house on bored piles. The frame grew in a few weeks, then the roofing, insulation, exterior finishing! Over the winter, a house grew on the site. The customer invited a third-party technical supervisor who monitored the process independently of our multi-stage control. The color scheme for painting the imitation timber was selected by our manager and here in front of us is the bright and cozy country house of the Pushkov family’s dreams!

A house project up to 150 sq.m is an excellent option for a residential building for a family of 3-5 people. There can be a large number of layout variations. The ideal option for a house of this size is two floors or a house with an attic, with the living space divided into zones. As a rule, this is a floor division into a recreation area and a living area. On the ground floor there is a kitchen, living room, dining room, hall, furnace room, laundry room, and all kinds of storage rooms. Again, the options may be different. It all depends on the needs of the owners. The second floor houses all the bedrooms with their cozy and sleepy comfort. But there may be zoning on the same floor. If the size of the plot allows it, then why not. Then approximately half of the house on one side is allocated for bedrooms, so that a feeling of calm and comfort is maintained. Experts say that the best room for sleeping is the one you enter and immediately feel the desire to lie down and relax. The privacy of the rest rooms makes them just that, inducing sleep, but in no case boredom. must initially take into account the features of proper planning. The more competently the placement of rooms is designed, the higher the functionality of the finished house will be. The disadvantage of a one-story house can be passage rooms. Although even in the hands of a master they turn into a highlight.

Projects of houses up to 150 sq.m. will be relevant both for country houses and for residential buildings within the city. They can be given a modest look or, on the contrary, chic and luxury. The design of a house up to 150 sq. m with an attic will look like a one-story house. Visually it will seem modest and small, although inside it will have two full floors. If two floors are built according to all the rules, then the house will turn out taller and more impressive. With the help of balconies, terraces, and bay windows, you can turn it into a luxurious cottage. Forged elements of external decor, non-standard roof shapes, and large windows can also help with this. A lot depends on the skill and imagination of the architect, as well as on finishing building materials. They are what give the house its “character”.

Russia is a very big country. Its territory stretches from north to south for more than 4 thousand km and from west to east for almost 10 thousand km, and this is no less than a third of Eurasia. Given its size, its climate differs significantly in different parts of the country. Therefore, the requirements for building materials and the construction itself are different. But sizes up to 150 sq.m are in demand both in the Krasnodar region and in Siberia. Moreover, the price of the project is directly proportional to its complexity. The more complex the shape of the house, and the more different floors, beams, flights of stairs and other things, the more expensive the design documentation will be.

Order a house project up to 150 sq. m. is possible in our company - Dom4M. A large selection of ready-made house projects up to 150 square meters, an individual approach to each client and professionalism are our distinctive features. Our specialists will help you choose a ready-made project or design a new one in a convenient time frame and at a reasonable price.

House project up to 150 sq. m: pros

A private house is good because you don’t have to “fight” with your neighbors, no one will ever flood the ceiling, no one will be woken up by the noise behind the wall. An equally important circumstance is that “kind” grandmothers will not look out and spy under the entrance, and then spread gossip about the personal life of each family member. The more tangible and material benefits of a private home include:

The ability to independently control the costs of utilities and home heating;

No rent;

Availability of free space in the yard for parking a car, for a children's swing, barbecue, or gazebo;

Projects of one-story houses 100 - 150 sq. m are very diverse in design and planning solutions. In order to choose and buy the most suitable project, you need to take into account the following factors:

  • Building size
  • Composition of premises
  • Zoning method
  • Availability of a terrace
  • Configuration of the roof and building frame

If you need a cottage with 2-3 bedrooms and no additional premises, such as a gym, office, second living room, etc., you should consider projects of one-story houses up to 120 sq. m. But if you wish, you can order the development of a home with an expanded composition premises, which, however, will take up a little more space on the site.

Every project of a 1-storey building up to 150 sq m involves dividing the internal space into a guest and sleeping area. The sleeping area can occupy a separate wing of the building, can be located in the far part of the house, can be separated by a hall or technical rooms. The type of zoning in the one-story house project you choose should match your lifestyle.

It should be taken into account that houses with complex shapes are more expensive to build. In addition, cottages with broken lines of facades retain heat less well and therefore require higher heating costs. But buildings with a non-standard configuration look more impressive.

An open terrace attached to the cottage is convenient and beautiful. But on a small plot it is better to build a house not with a terrace, but with a wide porch that can accommodate a table and several chairs, or a couple of garden chairs.
