House plans by type
House plans you design yourself
by size, bedrooms or shape.
Not a catalogue of fixed plans: pick the kind of house you want, start from a matching outline and room template, and lay it out your way in 2D and 3D. Every plan is single-storey and free to start.
How to choose
Start from the kind of house you need
Most people know one thing first: how many bedrooms they need, how much house they can afford, or the shape their plot allows. Each page below starts from one of those, explains what that type of plan usually contains, and names the Floorra outlines and room templates to start from.
Bedroom count sets the size. A one-bedroom home needs about 900 ft² of rooms, walls and halls; a four-bedroom home about 2,300 ft², before the garage. The shape decides how the rooms sit: a long ranch puts everything in a row, an L wraps a patio, and an open plan joins the kitchen, dining and living room.
Floorra designs single-storey homes only. If you need two floors or a basement, use these plans for the ground floor and take the layout to an architect or designer.

Typical sizes at a glance
Rooms, walls and hallways added up from Floorra's room sizes. Your plan will differ with the rooms you choose.
| Plan type | Typical size | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| ADU | ≈550 ft² studio, ≈830 ft² one bedroom | A guest house, rental unit or parents nearby |
| Small house | Under about 1,200 ft² | One person or a couple, a tight budget or plot |
| 2 bedroom | About 1,240–1,290 ft² | A couple with a guest room or office |
| 3 bedroom | About 1,710–1,790 ft² | A family with one or two children |
| 4 bedroom | About 2,260–2,360 ft² | A larger family, or bedrooms plus an office |
Sizes exclude the garage and come from the room-by-room method in the house size guide. Ranch, L-shaped, U-shaped, narrow lot and open floor plans describe the shape, width or layout, so they come in many of these sizes.
