This 1 bedroom cottage plan fits 570 square feet of living space on a single level, within a footprint of 23'-4" × 27'-3". A front porch leads into the living room, which measures 12'-6" × 12'-3". The kitchen, at 7'-4" × 12'-7", sits alongside it, so cooking and sitting areas share one open space. Everything is on one floor, with no stairs.
A hall, 9'-5" × 3'-10", separates the shared rooms from the private ones. The bedroom is 13'-7" × 8'-4" and the bathroom is 7'-8" × 5'-5". A laundry closet of 3'-9" × 3'-10" keeps the washer and dryer out of the main rooms. The plan has no garage, so the footprint stays compact and the whole house is living space.

How this plan was made
It was generated in AI Architectures Plan Studio from this one-line brief: “Single-story cottage, 1 bedroom, 1 bath, open kitchen and living, laundry closet, front porch, about 650 sq ft of living space (garage not included).” An AI architect drafted the room program, a layout solver placed every wall and door, and the plan was checked automatically for room sizes, circulation and daylight. The same project produced the PDF sheets, layered DXF, IFC model and 3D model you can download above.
Frequently asked questions
What are 1 bedroom cottage house plans?
They are small, usually single-story home designs with one bedroom, a bathroom, and a combined kitchen and living area, often with a porch. This version has 570 square feet of living space and 1 bath.
What affects the cost and lot needs of this plan?
The footprint of 23'-4" × 27'-3" sets the minimum lot size, and local setbacks decide how it sits on the site. Cost depends on your region, foundation type, finishes and utility connections, so get local builder quotes.
Can I change this plan by chat?
Yes. You can ask for changes such as a larger bedroom, a different porch, a garage on a chosen side, or a narrower footprint for a tighter lot. The layout is regenerated and the room sizes update to match.
How do I use the PDF, DXF and IFC files?
The PDF is for reviewing and sharing the plan with a builder or permit office. The DXF opens in CAD tools for editing or site layout, and the IFC imports into BIM software. Have a local professional check the plan against your code before construction.
