Whoever builds a one-family house or a modern apartment must definitely

work off a floor plan prior to starting any building or renovating. These house
floor plans can be drawings or computerized images of the spatial conditions.
This informs you of the planned layout and how the house is spatially divided
so you can see where the bathrooms are located, where the kitchen is, and
the placement of both the windows and doors. A floor plan can also help you
and relevant professionals (like Flooring experts) better imagine the available
living space. In addition, the exact dimensions can be read from the technical
drawings. This allows you to plan the furnishing, the kitchen and the bathroom
well in advance.
Let’s be inspired by these free modern house plans!

1. A floor plan with open living area

HEINRICH BLOHM GMBH - BAUUNTERNEHMEN VISIT PROFILE

The advantage of floor plans that show the room's size in square meters can
help with the visual presentation of the space. In this modern house layout,
the homeowner and guests are welcomed in a large hallway. Instead of a
cellar, the house has a utility room, where a washing machine and other
appliances have their place. In addition to a study room and a small guest
WC, the spacious living area can be entered through a wing door. In a floor
plan, doors should be placed so that you can see in which direction they are
opened, allowing you to better plan the furniture placement. Meanwhile, the
trend is to integrate an open kitchen into the living and dining area. The
kitchen is visually separated from the room by an island along with the stove;
this is a wonderful solution where one can easily entertain guests while
cooking.

2. First floor of a small house

ATELIER SCHÖNGESTALT VISIT PROFILE

The upper floor of this small house consists only of a bedroom and a
bathroom. From the floor plan we can see that part of the bedroom was
separated by an open wall. In this part, a small seating corner was set up
which, in spite of the small space, still allows for enough privacy in the
bedroom. The bathroom, on the other hand, is rather spacious and quite
luxurious. There is one step leading to a large bathtub and a shower
separated from the toilet by a wall. A toilet can definitely be hidden in the
bathroom, seeing as it is definitely not the most beautiful item.
 3. Floor plan with a garage

ELCH.ING VISIT PROFILE

In this picture we can see the floor plan of a cosy single-family house with a
garage. Through a small corridor the visitor enters a guest bathroom, a study
room and the living area. This is equipped with an open kitchen, a dining table
and a seating corner. Due to the openness of the space, the room is quite
functional and the plan also shows the windows that allow daylight to enter.
Although the house is not particularly large, it offers space for everything a
dream home should have. The large terrace encompasses almost the entire
living area, which makes the interior even more beautiful.

4. Bungalow: All on one floor

Previously, floor plans of houses were technical drawings. Architects went
through a lot of effort to draw up the room layouts with accurate
measurements to produce a 3-dimensional representation of the blueprint.
Now almost all professionals work with computer software, which makes it
possible to visualize the living space much better, and also show the type of
material and furniture that will be used. This way, the client can better
visualise what the final result will look like. This bungalow has the complete
living space on one floor. A house without stairs is particularly suitable for
people with mobility problems, wheelchair users and children. Since all rooms
are on the ground floor, bungalows on most of the ground plans usually look
bigger than multi-storey houses. As is often the case, the living room is at the
centre of all the action. This example shows, contrary to the previous ones, a
closed kitchen bordering the dining area. Since bungalows are usually built
without a cellar, the kitchen can be used as the entryway to a large utility
room.

5. Floor plan before and after

HOMIFY VISIT PROFILE

When it comes to buying a condominium especially, it may happen that the

floor plans are made according to a model proposed by an architect. But if the
new home is still in the early construction phase, the buyer can make some
modifications. In this example, we see a before-and-after image in which a
few walls are removed. The owner opted for a more open-plan living space,
thus providing a larger living and dining area. Before the conversion, this
change was planned in private, so it is necessary to make sure both parties
understand each other regarding which walls are going to be removed, to
ensure that it won't weaken the structural stability of the building.

6. Penthouse with a spacious living area

AND8 ARCHITEKTEN AISSLINGER + BRACHT VISIT PROFILE

A penthouse above a sea of rooftops in the city is something special,

especially if it has a large roof terrace, from which one can enjoy a wide view
of the surroundings. On the ground floor of this luxury apartment we can not
only the usual rooms, but also a sauna, a steam bath, a dressing room and a
lift that leads directly into the apartment. The spacious living area offers plenty
of legroom for an open kitchen with a kitchen island and everything else that
belongs in a designer living room. The size of this living space is sure to
compensate for the smaller spaces that city dwellers are used to. Whoever
lives here is going to enjoy that steam bath and sauna.
