This tiny cottage plan packs one bedroom, one bathroom and an eat-in kitchen into 520 square feet of living space on a single level. The footprint measures 20'-0" × 25'-11", and the house sits on a foundation. There is no garage, porch, deck or patio, so the whole plan is enclosed living area.
The living room measures 10'-8" × 13'-3" and the eat-in kitchen is 8'-8" × 10'-4". A 7'-0" × 6'-6" hall connects the main rooms to the 9'-0" × 10'-4" bedroom and the 7'-0" × 6'-4" bathroom. The plan is one story with no stairs, which keeps circulation simple. Because the layout is a single rectangle, it is straightforward to frame and to heat.

How this plan was made
It was generated in AI Architectures Plan Studio from this one-line brief: “Tiny cottage on a 20 x 26 ft rectangular footprint (520 sq ft), one story, on a foundation: 1 bedroom, 1 bath, eat-in kitchen, cozy living room. No porch, deck or patio.” 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.
