Collection: Houses from 50 to 80 m²

Timber frame house plans in the 50 to 80 m² range (roughly 540–860 sq ft) suit a comfortable one- or two-bedroom home, a permanent holiday house or a right-sized downsizer. Each design is delivered as an instant-download PDF and includes:

• Dimensioned floor plans, elevations and cross-sections
• Structural framing drawings with load calculations
• A complete cut list and material list
• 3D model views of the finished home
• Measurements in both metric and imperial

At this size you have room for a proper living-kitchen, a separate bedroom or two and a bathroom, so pay attention to how each plan zones its space. Some designs use a full-height A-frame or a loft to add sleeping space overhead; others spread out on a single level, which is easier for accessible or single-storey living. Covered terraces and carport add-ons appear in several plans and are worth prioritising if you want sheltered outdoor space or parking.

Foundation and roof are the big structural choices. A concrete slab suits a year-round residence, while screw piles let you build over a slope or a soft lakeside plot without heavy groundwork. Steeper A-frame and gable roofs shed snow well and open up the loft; lower-pitched roofs keep costs and height down. Every drawing is clear enough for a builder to quote or a confident DIYer to follow.

Compare footprints and roof styles to find a home that fits your site and lifestyle.
