Small Modern House Plan

No. 19

LESS HOUSE. MORE LIVING. This ‘little-big’ house has a compact floor plan that feels expansive. Spaces overlap with one another, creating a deceptively large feeling, yet with a surprisingly small footprint. There’s ample room to move without stepping on each other’s toes. The house design is a study in efficiency, seemingly increasing space (but thankfully not physical areas to clean). Order and structure allow spaces to feel calm (with room to think) while expansive floor to ceiling windows and doors add light and a feeling of space.

Uncluttered and uncompromised.

The clean, simple lines of the interior spaces and semi-private kitchen ensure an uncluttered look, enhanced by ample storage space. By aligning the solid walls, glazed openings, stairs and interior walls of the home’s four living quadrants – space isn’t just defined visually, it’s felt emotionally.

Space in spades.

Clever design trickery (the ‘four-quadrant pin-wheel’ configuration where each corner is dedicated to a function) means each room in this small floor plan benefits from sharing space with a well-suited neighbor. The living room feels larger as it shares a space with the dining room.

The same principle is employed with the dining room and kitchen. The result is a main floor plan that functions efficiently – seemingly without any loss of space. The consolidation of the entrance, closets, powder room and mechanical room into one quadrant allows these functions to remain independent. Surprisingly, this small house design has three bedrooms, with a fourth easily incorporated. A basement is also optional.

Turning space-saving inside out.

Just as interior spaces overlap to create space, the same principle is employed with the exterior spaces. Interior functions are extended outside as each room (or quadrant) is adjacent to a dedicated outdoor terrace. The results blur the lines between inside and out, enhancing the sense of space. And, arguably, richer alfresco experiences.

Suitable for a vacation property (think endless summer days) this modern floor plan can be oriented in any direction. And, its 360-degree relationship to the site makes it an ideal home for rural areas.

Customization.

Just because your home’s plan may be preconceived, doesn’t mean its features are presupposed.

Think of My Modern Home as your architect on demand.

We offer custom alterations to help you make any of our designs truly yours. With Plan No. 19, a basement is also optional. Use it as a guest bedroom or for space-craving teenagers who want to move below. Or perhaps you need a nanny suite? Convert one of the bedrooms into a private living area and make a completely separate suite from the rest of the house and basement.

Testimonials

“The organization of this home around solids and voids is both clear and wonderfully pragmatic – a balance that all architecture should strive to achieve. Each volume of brick is related to a functional interior element while also defining a varied series of outdoor spaces that ensure a suitable space is available for every season.”
