Modern 396 sq. ft. 1-bedroom tiny house
Compact, functional, and decidedly modern, this 396 sq. ft., one-bedroom tiny house offers a complete interior layout within a remarkably small footprint. Measuring 22 feet wide by 18 feet deep, this model is an excellent solution for a small home, a compact cottage, or a residential unit on a lot where every square foot must be used wisely.
Its modern, contemporary architecture stands out thanks to its simple form, a flat roof with a wide overhang, and a combination of horizontal wood siding and dark accents. This composition creates a clean-lined building that blends seamlessly into both natural settings and contemporary residential neighborhoods.
An optimized 396 sq. ft. tiny house floor plan
Despite a floor area of just 396 sq. ft., the plan incorporates all the essential functions of a self-contained home on a single level. The interior layout is divided into two main zones to optimize flow and minimize wasted space.
The left side houses the open-concept living area, comprising the kitchen and living room. The kitchen—measuring approximately 12'4" x 9'0"—features a linear layout complemented by a counter with seating. This counter creates a natural transition between the kitchen and living room while serving as a substitute for a traditional dining table in this compact home.
The living room, also approximately 12'4" x 9'0", benefits from generous windows that visually expand the interior space. This open layout maintains a sense of fluidity despite the building's small dimensions. One bedroom and a full bathroom
The right side of this modern, 396-square-foot, one-bedroom tiny home houses the more private areas. The bedroom measures approximately 9'6" x 11'4"—dimensions that accommodate a double or queen-size bed along with additional furniture.
Nearby is a full bathroom measuring roughly 9'6" x 6'7". It includes essential fixtures as well as a designated space for a stacked washer and dryer. This integration maintains full laundry functionality without requiring a separate room.
Concentrating plumbing fixtures in one section of the building also helps streamline the technical design of the floor plan.
Modern architecture with clean lines
The exterior features intentionally minimalist architecture. Warm-toned horizontal siding contrasts with dark window frames, fascia, and soffits. A wide roof overhang accentuates the building's horizontal lines while adding character to its silhouette.
Large windows are positioned along the living area to maximize natural light and the connection to the outdoors, while dark frames reinforce the model's contemporary aesthetic.
The building is designed with a poured concrete foundation and has no basement, mezzanine, or garage. The entire living area is located on the ground floor, significantly simplifying the spatial layout.
A versatile, small contemporary cottage
With dimensions of 22' x 18', this model is suitable for various settings: a tiny home, a small modern cottage, a secondary residence, or a compact build for a vacation property. Its main appeal lies in the balance between a very limited footprint and a complete residential layout. The kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, and laundry area are all contained within less than 400 sq. ft., while maintaining a clear separation between the common and private zones.
This 396 sq. ft. modern one-bedroom tiny house plan is an excellent choice for those seeking compact contemporary architecture and an optimized interior layout. Contact Plan Maison Québec to obtain this plan or to discuss potential modifications based on your specific site and needs.
CONSTRUCTION COSTS

PLAN DETAILS:
When you purchase construction plans, they include the following elements:
. Elevations
. Floor plans
. Roof plans
. Technical details
With these plans, you will be able to apply for a building permit from your municipality, obtain quotes from local contractors, and proceed with construction—either by hiring a contractor or by building the home yourself.
Please note that every city or municipality has its own zoning and urban planning regulations. It is your responsibility to ensure that the dimensions and design elements meet permit requirements and comply with local setback and coverage regulations. The plans can always be modified to meet your area's specific requirements.
LIST OF MATERIALS
The plans purchased online do not include a materials list, as the specifications must be tailored to your specific choices. However, if you would like a complete materials list, you can select that option when purchasing your plans, and one of our professionals will be happy to work with you on it.
CONSTRUCTION DETAILS:
All new home plans are sold with a standard construction details sheet—including specifications for poured concrete foundations and technical details for typical wall sections (compliant with current energy-efficiency standards).
COMPLIANCE AND RESPONSIBILITY:
It is the buyer's responsibility to verify applicable siting and construction standards with the municipality. Fees may apply for any additional required modifications.

Purchasing the plans entitles you to build only one (1) house for yourself; you may not sell, modify, or copy the plans. Please contact Plan Maison Québec regarding any modifications to your construction plans.
