This is a ground-floor independent house planned on an Indian residential plot. Target built-up area is around 965 sq.ft (±5%). The project is at the planning stage. The road is on the BOTTOM side, and all entry and zoning must follow this orientation. The house is for a family of 5, meant for regular living, long-term use, and easy maintenance. It is not a luxury or display house. The focus is practical, compact, efficient, and future-ready design. Every square foot must be used meaningfully. Avoid wasted space, long corridors, oversized rooms, and decorative lobbies. Circulation must be short and direct. Plumbing and services should be grouped. The layout must follow three zones: Front (road side): Entry, small sit-out, combined living and dining. Middle: Kitchen with attached utility, staircase, and common toilet. Back: Private zone with 2 bedrooms only. Both bedrooms must be in the back zone, away from the road, each with space for a double bed, wardrobe inside the room, and attached toilets placed back-to-back with a shared plumbing wall. Total toilets: 3 (2 attached + 1 common). The common toilet must be near living/dining and staircase, accessible to guests, and not open into the kitchen. The staircase must be on the RIGHT-side boundary, straight or L-shaped, and designed for future first-floor construction. The structure must support vertical expansion without affecting ground-floor use. The design should be simple, cost-effective, and easy to execute by local Indian contractors, focused on comfort and long-term usability.
