This 16x30 tiny house plan fits one bedroom, one bathroom, an open kitchen and living area, and a laundry closet into 480 square feet of living space on a single level. It is drawn for a foundation and has no porch, deck, or patio, so the footprint stays a clean 16 by 30 foot rectangle.
The living room (8'-7" × 8'-10"), kitchen (8'-7" × 8'-4"), and bedroom (8'-7" × 10'-1") each measure 8'-7" wide. The bathroom (5'-1" × 10'-0"), hall (5'-1" × 12'-1"), and laundry closet (5'-1" × 5'-2") each measure 5'-1" wide, which keeps circulation and services in a narrow band. The kitchen and living room share an open space, so the main living area stays uncluttered by walls.

Who this plan suits
This plan suits a single person or a couple who want a one-bedroom home on a simple rectangular footprint. It also fits a backyard dwelling, guest house, or small primary residence where a foundation build and a compact, easy-to-frame shape matter.
How this plan was made
It was generated in AI Architectures Plan Studio from this one-line brief: “Tiny house on a 16 x 30 ft rectangular footprint (480 sq ft), one story, on a foundation: 1 bedroom, 1 bath, open kitchen and living, laundry closet. No porch, deck or patio.” 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 is included in a 16x30 tiny house plan?
A 16x30 tiny house plan describes a 16 by 30 foot rectangular footprint with a defined room layout and dimensions. This one is a single-story, one-bedroom, one-bath home with an open kitchen and living area and a laundry closet.
Can a 16x30 tiny house be built on a foundation?
Yes, this plan is drawn for a foundation rather than wheels. The simple rectangle is straightforward to frame, but foundation type, framing, and insulation depend on your site and climate, so confirm them with a local engineer or builder.
Can I customize this plan with AI?
Yes. You can describe changes in plain language, such as moving the laundry closet or resizing the bedroom, and the layout can be regenerated. Check the updated room sizes and the full drawing before you rely on it for permits or construction.
Can I use the plan in CAD software as a DXF file?
DXF is an open exchange format that most CAD programs can import, so you can open the plan, measure it, and add your own details. After import, check the units and scale against the stated 16'-0" × 30'-0" footprint.
