This single-story plan has 1,070 sq ft of living space on a plain rectangular footprint of 40'-8" × 27'-11", under a simple roof. A front porch opens into the Living Room at 12'-11" × 16'-2". The Kitchen (12'-7" × 9'-4") and Dining area (8'-0" × 9'-4") share the same open space, so cooking, eating and sitting happen in one room. A Laundry Closet of 5'-6" × 5'-1" is included, and there is no garage.
A Hall measuring 5'-6" × 14'-8" links the living area to the three bedrooms and the Hall Bath (8'-2" × 5'-5"). The Primary Bedroom is 10'-4" × 10'-5" and has its own Ensuite Bath at 7'-8" × 5'-5". Bedroom 2 is 10'-4" × 9'-4" and Bedroom 3 is 9'-1" × 9'-4". The compact shape and straight walls keep the structure easy to frame.

Who this plan suits
This plan suits small households and first-time builders who want three bedrooms and two baths in a compact, single-level home. It needs a lot at least a little wider than 40'-8" and deeper than 27'-11", with room for the front porch and no garage.
How this plan was made
It was generated in AI Architectures Plan Studio from this one-line brief: “Affordable single-story house: simple rectangular footprint and roof, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, open kitchen and living, laundry closet, no garage, front porch, about 1,150 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 affordable house plans?
Affordable house plans use compact, simple shapes to keep construction effort down. This one is a single-story rectangle of 1,070 sq ft with a plain roof, three bedrooms, two baths and no garage.
What affects the building cost and lot needs of this plan?
The 40'-8" × 27'-11" rectangular footprint and simple roof keep framing straightforward, while local labor, materials, foundation type and site conditions set the final cost. The lot must fit the footprint plus the front porch and any required setbacks.
Can I change this plan by chat?
Yes. You can describe changes in chat, such as resizing rooms, adding a garage on a chosen side, or fitting a narrower 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 drawings. The DXF opens in CAD software for editing the 2D plans, and the IFC loads into BIM tools for a 3D model. Have a local professional check the plans against your local codes before you build.
