Small House Plans

For a list of trusted home plan firms specializing in Small home designs, please visit the Small Home Plans Directory.

The Small House Plan category refers to house designs which are usually 1500 square feet and below. The majority of small homes are below the 1000 square feet mark.

The key to creating an effective small house plan is to maximum the minimal space efficiency. The further difficulty in working with small house plans is to balance size and space with esthetic design.

Many small house plans fall under these categories:

Townhouse - One house in a row of houses joined together (can be 1 to 3 stories).
Bungalow - A single storey home, sometimes with a basement.
Semi-Detached - or 'add on' a house or multi-family home joined on one side.
Condo/Flat/Apartment - One of several homes in one building (also called a duplex).
