1-Story House Plan 373 ft²: 1 Beds, 1 Baths, Open Floor Plan, without Garage
This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 20477RB is a 1-bedroom tiny house plan that fits a complete single-family home onto one level of 373 ft². This single-story house sits beneath a clean flat roof, and its exterior walls are finished in WPC, giving the narrow volume a crisp, uncluttered profile. The house measures 14'5" wide and 29'2" deep, with a height of 12'0". Its proportions stay compact, yet the interior is planned for everyday living all year round, not just for occasional stays.
The heart of the home is an open floor plan in which cooking, dining and relaxing share one continuous space. Instead of a separate dining room, the kitchen includes a breakfast nook, a dedicated spot for meals, homework or the first coffee of the day. Large windows and floor-to-ceiling windows bring daylight deep into the narrow footprint and make the main room feel wider than the walls alone would suggest. On a gray winter afternoon, that glass keeps the space bright and connected to the outdoors.
The single bedroom gives its owners a private retreat away from the shared living area, and one full bathroom serves the whole house. With no basement and no garage, this small house plan keeps the building simple and the upkeep light. It suits someone buying a first home, a couple downsizing, or anyone who wants a well-organized 1 bedroom house plan without unused square footage to heat and clean.
Outside, a deck extends the living space into the open air and gives the home an outdoor room for summer dinners and quiet evenings. The floor-to-ceiling windows keep the deck in view from inside, so the interior and the outdoor area read as one. Together, the flat roof house plan, the WPC walls and the generous glazing make this compact design a refined, practical home for modern living.
