Advantages and disadvantages of a large house
Interior decoration and layout of a house with such an area is not an easy task, requiring a detailed and creative approach from the owners. The advantages of large houses include:
- Possibility of choosing a variety of types of layout and interior arrangement.
- A rich variety of interesting interior ideas: windows with a bay window, full-wall panoramic windows, a built-in summer terrace with a separate exit.
- In premises with a total area of 144 square meters, you can very successfully accommodate two or three bedrooms, two bathrooms (especially in large families with children), and arrange an original children's playground.
- Today, every owner has the opportunity to use specialized 3D modeling programs for the future structure to plan a 12-acre plot with a house. The use of such web applications allows you to create virtual house layout projects (one-story, two-story) with dimensions of 12 by 12, make appropriate adjustments at any stage, and choose the interior interior as desired.
The disadvantages of designing a large private building include the following factors:
- Interior decoration and interior arrangement require significant financial investments.
- Particular attention is paid to the high-quality organization of lighting, electrical wiring and installation of distribution boxes, and water supply lines. For residential buildings in regions with harsh climates, it is necessary to provide additional thermal insulation and installation of heating devices.
As a rule, the house itself occupies most of the land, and therefore the distribution of the remaining zones requires some ingenuity from the owners or designers.
Provisions
Once a week, the couple go to the nearest market for shopping and take food for the week ahead. Food expenses average $75 per week. They could buy more food - there just won't be room to put it all. Immediately upon arriving home, Alexis starts cooking, filling the refrigerator with dishes for several days in advance, so as not to be distracted from work later.
Preparing a house drawing
If you don’t have the necessary skills, you can always use the help of a specialist or find a ready-made project. An optimally designed site plan and internal layout of a 12 by 12 house allows you to create a comfortable interior indoors, choose the type of garage building (built-in or isolated), and find a rational relationship between the functional zones on the territory.
The drawing displays the following parameters:
- The total area and shape of the land plot.
- Schematic arrangement of functional areas and paths between them.
- The total area of the house, the dimensions of each room, including the garage and utility rooms.
- The drawing also needs to show the features of the internal layout with the placement of rooms, stairs to the second floor, and a rough plan for installing furniture sets.
We should not forget about the depiction of communication lines: electrical networks, outlet points of sockets and distribution boxes, water supply lines and drains on the street. It is better to save the prepared project so that, if necessary, you can use a detailed plan.
Modern 3D modeling programs allow you to create optimal plan projects, with the help of which you can reproduce the layout of even a 12-story brick house.
Bedroom
The couple's bedroom is in the attic. There is a staircase without railings leading up there.
Alexis says that she is very afraid of falling, so she moves up the stairs slowly, like a turtle. In the attic it is impossible to rise to your full height: you have to move on your haunches. There is nothing upstairs except the bed.
But there are as many as five windows so that more sunlight penetrates and there is no claustrophobia.

Internal layout of the first floor
The following rooms are always located on the ground floor:
Hallway. The layout of a private house with dimensions of 12 by 12 meters allows you to equip a fairly large hallway with a wardrobe, several poufs, and a seating area (for example, an armchair and a bookcase). If there is a second floor in the house, the staircase is installed in the hallway.
A guest room. This room should be given maximum attention so that the room acquires an original look and comfort. As an interesting design option, a window with a bay window or a large panoramic window covering the entire wall is often used.
A number of auxiliary rooms: a bathroom, a bathroom, a storage room. It is easier to connect all the necessary communications to the premises located on the ground floor and organize high-quality drainage.
On the ground floor there is a kitchen and dining room, which will require a separate exit. This approach is beneficial both from the point of view of fire safety and aesthetically (from the kitchen side you can arrange a summer area or terrace).
Work environment
After their morning routine, the couple gets to work. They have a sofa right next to the kitchen, and opposite the sofa there is a folding table. Christian sits on the right, facing the front door, and Alexis sits on the left, opposite the window and with her back to the sofa. Everyone works on their laptop. The couple both maintain a common blog, talking about their nomadic life, and also share secrets on how to survive in cramped spaces.
Alexis says that they do not interfere with each other at all, although the distance between the spouses while working at the computer is a maximum of half a meter. It’s just that everyone is focused on their own work, so they don’t notice the other’s presence. They are so focused on business that they may not say a word for several hours.
True, sometimes it is inconvenient that in order for Christian to get up from the table, Alexis has to let him through, pushing her laptop aside. “It’s annoying when you’re writing an email, for example, and someone distracts you from your work,” the woman admits.

By the way, a folding table is not only for work. It also functions as a dining table.
Features of project selection
Today, the construction market offers a wide variety of designs for houses and mansions measuring 12x12 m.
Using the Internet, everyone has the opportunity to familiarize themselves in detail with most of them, consult with their family and purchase their favorite standard project with working drawings. If desired, you can order the development of a new, individual project that fully meets the customer’s requirements.
The choice of a specific project should be based not only on personal preferences. There are more important factors:
- compliance of the building with the size and configuration of the site;
- taking into account relief features;
- geological features (soil type, groundwater level);
- exposition of land plot;
- entourage.
When choosing a project, it would be a good idea to take into account the general development plan.
Now you can decide on the configuration of the future mansion, its number of floors, the presence of a built-in garage, architectural style and many other features.
