This two-story plan uses a plain rectangular footprint of 29'-6" × 32'-10", with 1,940 sq ft of living space across two levels. There is no basement and no garage. On the ground floor, a 23'-9" entrance hall serves the living room (12'-3" × 12'-7"), the study (8'-4" × 8'-8"), and the family and dining room (12'-3" × 10'-9"), which sits next to the 18'-10" × 6'-8" kitchen.

The service rooms share an 8'-4" width: boot room (4'-10" deep), utility (5'-5" deep), and WC (2'-11" deep). The stair (8'-4" × 7'-6") rises to a 4'-10" × 21'-9" landing that reaches all four bedrooms. The primary bedroom is 13'-7" × 12'-11" with an en-suite of 6'-0" × 8'-10". Bedrooms 2 and 4 are each 13'-7" long, bedroom 3 is 8'-4" × 13'-11", and the family bathroom is 7'-2" × 8'-10".

Layout highlights

  • Rectangular 29'-6" × 32'-10" footprint keeps framing, roofing, and setting out straightforward.
  • Kitchen at 18'-10" × 6'-8" runs alongside the 12'-3" × 10'-9" family and dining room.
  • Separate living room (12'-3" × 12'-7") and study (8'-4" × 8'-8") give two quieter spaces.
  • Boot room, utility, and WC share an 8'-4" width near the entrance hall.
  • Primary bedroom of 13'-7" × 12'-11" has its own 6'-0" × 8'-10" en-suite.

Who this plan suits

This plan suits families who want four bedrooms and a study in a compact, buildable shape, and who plan to manage or carry out much of the build themselves. It needs a lot that fits the 29'-6" × 32'-10" footprint plus setbacks, and it has no garage or basement.

How this plan was made

It was generated in AI Architectures Plan Studio from this one-line brief: “Two-story house, 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, simple rectangular footprint for an easy self build: ground floor open kitchen-dining-family room, living room, study, WC, utility, boot room; first floor 4 bedrooms, en-suite and bathroom, about 180 m² (1,938 sq ft) of living space (garage not included). Metric European / Latin American layout: compact rooms, no basement.” 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 self build house plans?

Self build house plans are drawings for a home you organize or build yourself, so simple geometry and clear room dimensions matter. This one uses a rectangular footprint of 29'-6" × 32'-10" over two levels, which keeps structure and roofing straightforward.

What affects the cost and lot requirements of this plan?

The footprint is 29'-6" × 32'-10" with 1,940 sq ft of living space over two levels, so the lot must allow for that plus setbacks and access. Cost depends mainly on local labor, materials, foundations, and finishes. The compact shape and absence of a basement limit excavation.

Can I change this plan by chat?

Yes. You can ask for changes in chat, such as resizing or moving rooms, adding a garage on a chosen side, or adjusting the plan for a narrower or wider lot. The layout is updated and the drawings are regenerated to match.

How do I use the PDF, DXF, and IFC files?

The PDF is for reading, printing, and sharing with builders or local authorities. The DXF opens in CAD software for 2D editing, and the IFC opens in BIM tools for a 3D model. Local code checks and engineering are still needed before construction.
