This single-story plan wraps around a central courtyard and provides 2,590 sq ft of living space, not counting the garage, within a 79'-5" × 44'-0" footprint. An entry porch opens to a 5'-9" × 14'-7" foyer, and the great room, dining area and kitchen face the courtyard.
The great room measures 14'-11" × 32'-2", with an 8'-2" × 17'-2" dining space and a 20'-11" × 9'-0" kitchen alongside. A mudroom (6'-4" × 9'-0"), a laundry (6'-8" × 8'-8") and the 19'-2" × 17'-2" two-car garage form the service side. Hallways lead to the bedroom wings. The primary suite has a 15'-4" × 13'-3" bedroom, a 7'-0" × 13'-3" bath and a walk-in closet. Bedrooms 2, 3 and 4, an office and two more baths fill the remaining wings.

Who this plan suits
This plan suits households that want four bedrooms and an office on one level, with outdoor space that is private from the street. It needs a lot wide enough for the 79'-5" × 44'-0" footprint plus setbacks, and a level or gently sloping site.
How this plan was made
It was generated in AI Architectures Plan Studio from this one-line brief: “Single-story U-shaped house around a central open courtyard: 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, kitchen, dining and great room opening to the courtyard, laundry, 2-car garage, about 2,600 sq ft of living space.” 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 house plans with courtyard?
They are layouts where the rooms surround an open outdoor space, so several rooms get a view or a door to it. This plan uses a U shape, with the great room, dining and kitchen facing the central courtyard and an entry porch at the front.
What affects the cost of building this plan and the lot it needs?
The 79'-5" × 44'-0" footprint spreads 2,590 sq ft over one level, so foundation and roof area are larger than in a two-story plan of similar size. Local labor, materials, soil conditions and finishes will drive the total more than the layout does. Check setbacks and lot width before you commit.
Can I change this plan by chat?
Yes. You can ask for changes such as moving the garage to the other side, resizing or swapping rooms, or adjusting the plan for a narrower or wider lot. The layout is regenerated so the rooms still connect around the courtyard.
How do I use the PDF, DXF and IFC files?
The PDF is for reviewing the plan and sharing it with builders or lenders. The DXF opens in CAD software for drafting and site work, and the IFC imports into BIM tools. Have a local engineer or architect verify the plan against your site and code before construction.
