This 1 bedroom guest house plan offers 500 square feet of living space on a single level, within a footprint of 22'-8" × 26'-7". The kitchenette, at 10'-0" × 5'-9", opens to the living room, which measures 9'-6" × 14'-11". French doors in the living room lead out to a covered patio, so the main room serves as both the indoor and outdoor gathering space.
A short hall, 7'-2" × 3'-7", connects the living room to the private rooms. The bedroom is 10'-0" × 9'-4" and has a 1'-11" × 5'-5" closet. The bathroom measures 8'-0" × 5'-5". A 2'-9" × 3'-7" laundry closet keeps laundry out of the main rooms. The plan has no garage, so the whole footprint is living area and patio.

Who this plan suits
This plan suits homeowners adding a backyard guest house, in-law suite or small rental on a lot with room for a 22'-8" × 26'-7" footprint plus the patio. The lot should be level enough for a single-level build and have a practical route for utility connections.
How this plan was made
It was generated in AI Architectures Plan Studio from this one-line brief: “Backyard guest house: 1 bedroom, 1 bath, kitchenette, living room with french doors to a covered patio, closet laundry, about 500 sq ft.” 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 guest house plans?
They are compact single-bedroom homes designed as a secondary dwelling, usually behind a main house. This plan includes a bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette, living room and laundry closet in 500 square feet of living space.
What affects the cost and lot requirements for this guest house?
The main drivers are site preparation, utility runs for water, sewer and power, foundation type, and your finish selections. The footprint is 22'-8" × 26'-7", so check setbacks, easements and local rules for accessory dwellings before you build.
Can I change this plan by chat?
Yes. You can describe changes in chat, such as resizing rooms, moving the patio, adding a garage or fitting a narrower or wider lot. The layout is then updated to match your request.
How do I use the PDF, DXF and IFC files?
The PDF is for reviewing and sharing the plan with builders or permit offices. The DXF opens in CAD software for editing and drafting, and the IFC imports into BIM tools for coordination and modeling.
