This small house plan with a loft has 1,180 sq ft of living space on two levels, with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths inside a 31'-6" × 21'-8" footprint. There is no garage. The ground floor holds a 16'-2" × 11'-7" living room, a 14'-3" × 7'-8" open kitchen, a 5'-10" × 7'-8" bathroom and an 8'-8" × 12'-11" bedroom. A 3'-10" × 11'-7" hall connects these rooms to the stair.
The 8'-8" × 6'-4" stair rises to the upper level, where a 14'-5" × 12'-11" loft takes the largest share of the floor. A 13'-11" × 7'-7" bedroom and a 5'-5" × 6'-4" bath complete the upper level. The loft can serve as a study, sitting area or guest space, and the ground floor bedroom gives you a sleeping option with no stairs.

Who this plan suits
This plan suits a couple, a small family or a owner who wants a guest room or home office without a large house. It needs a lot that fits a 31'-6" × 21'-8" footprint plus local setbacks, and it has no garage.
How this plan was made
It was generated in AI Architectures Plan Studio from this one-line brief: “Small house with a loft: ground floor bedroom, bath, open kitchen and living; upstairs loft and a second bedroom, about 1,100 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 small house plans with loft?
They are compact plans where an upper-level loft adds usable space without enlarging the footprint. In this plan, the loft is 14'-5" × 12'-11" and sits on the second level with a bedroom and bath, within 1,180 sq ft of living space.
What affects the lot and building cost of this plan?
The 31'-6" × 21'-8" footprint sets the minimum lot size once setbacks are added, and two stacked levels with two baths keep plumbing runs short. Foundation type, local labor, finishes and site conditions will drive the final cost, so get local quotes.
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 updated and the drawings are regenerated to match.
How do I use the PDF, DXF and IFC files?
The PDF is for review, sharing and permit discussions. The DXF opens in CAD software for editing the 2D drawings, and the IFC imports into BIM tools for a 3D model. Have a local engineer or architect check the plan against your local code before construction.
