500 Sq Ft Tiny House Plan with 1 Bed and Pyramid Roof

Plan 39753R is a 1-bedroom single-story house plan that fits a complete, comfortable home into 501 ft² under a steep hip roof drawn up as a neat pyramid. Bungalow proportions meet European and traditional details, and a transitional restraint keeps the lines calm and current. The footprint is a perfect square, 24'4" wide and 24'4" deep, with a height of 18'5". The 10/12 (40°) roof pitch gives this small house plan a confident, almost cottage-like silhouette, while stone/brick veneer, wood and stucco on the exterior walls add texture and a sense of permanence.

The front door leads into a proper entry, a small but valuable room that keeps coats, boots and cold air away from the living space. Beyond it, an open floor plan joins the family room and the kitchen into one generous room. The fireplace in the family room is the anchor of the house, the place everyone gathers when the evenings turn cold. The kitchen includes a breakfast nook for morning coffee and everyday meals, and a corner window opens it to daylight from two directions, so the cooking area never feels closed in.

The private side of the home holds one bedroom and one full bathroom, everything daily life requires on a single level, with no stairs to climb. As a 1 bedroom house plan with a compact square layout, it suits a couple or a single owner who wants a well-built house rather than a large one, and it is easy to heat, furnish and maintain. The plan has no basement and no garage, which keeps the construction straightforward and puts the budget into the rooms that are lived in every day.

The house stands on strip footings, and the plan is also available with a slab foundation on request. The main exterior wall framing is aerated concrete block, with clay block or wood framing offered as alternatives. The hip roof slopes down on all four sides, sheltering the walls evenly and giving the square volume a balanced, finished look from every angle. Simple in form and refined in its materials, this single-story home brings the character of a traditional European bungalow to a modest, efficient footprint.
