This single-story plan has 690 sq ft of living space, not counting the covered carport, inside a 42'-0" × 23'-4" footprint. It has two bedrooms, one bathroom and no basement. The kitchen (10'-0" × 7'-4") is integrated with the living room (13'-1" × 12'-10"), and the living area opens to a covered gourmet balcony with a barbecue grill.
A service area with laundry (6'-8" × 7'-4") handles household chores separately from the living room. A 6'-2" × 6'-8" hall leads to the bathroom (6'-2" × 5'-9") and the two bedrooms: Bedroom 1 at 7'-10" × 11'-3" and Bedroom 2 at 8'-8" × 9'-8". The covered carport, 10'-11" × 13'-7", holds one car at the front of the house.

Who this plan suits
This plan suits a couple, a small family or a retiree who wants two bedrooms and a home built around cooking and entertaining outdoors. It needs a lot wider than the 42'-0" footprint and deeper than 23'-4" once setbacks are added, with access from the front for the carport.
How this plan was made
It was generated in AI Architectures Plan Studio from this one-line brief: “Single-story house, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, integrated kitchen and living opening to a covered gourmet balcony with barbecue grill, service area with laundry, covered carport for 1 car at the front, about 65 m² (700 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 small house plans with a gourmet balcony?
They are compact home designs where the kitchen and living room open onto a covered outdoor space equipped for grilling and dining. In this plan the balcony has a barbecue grill and connects to the 690 sq ft single-story interior. The layout follows a metric European and Latin American approach, with compact rooms and no basement.
What affects the cost and lot requirements of this plan?
The 42'-0" × 23'-4" single-story footprint means the foundation and roof area drive most of the cost, along with finishes and local labor rates. The plumbing is concentrated in the kitchen, service area and bathroom. The lot needs room for the footprint, setbacks and the front carport.
Can I change this plan by chat?
Yes. You can describe changes such as moving or resizing rooms, switching the carport to the other side, or fitting a narrower lot, and the plan is regenerated with the new layout. Room sizes and the living area are recalculated each time.
How do I use the PDF, DXF and IFC files?
The PDF is for review, printing and sharing with a contractor or permit office. The DXF opens in CAD software for 2D editing, and the IFC imports into BIM tools for a 3D model. Local code review and engineering are still needed before construction.
