Description
Looking for a small house plan that feels bigger than its square footage? The TMS-156-CF1 is a thoughtfully designed 506 sq ft 1-bedroom tiny house floor plan that combines comfortable indoor living with inviting outdoor spaces.
With a compact 23′ × 23′ footprint, this cozy house plan delivers the essential spaces you need without wasting valuable square footage. The layout includes 1 bedroom, 1 full bathroom, an open kitchen and dining area, a comfortable living room, a utility room, and two outdoor decks.
The result is a practical small-home design that can work beautifully as a tiny primary residence, vacation cabin, weekend retreat, guest house, rental property, or getaway home.
Open Kitchen & Dining Area
At the heart of the home is the 113 sq ft kitchen + dining area, measuring approximately 10′-10″ × 10′-6″.
The kitchen is arranged along the exterior wall with dedicated space for appliances and cabinetry, while the dining area provides room for a compact dining table. Its open connection to the living area helps make the interior feel spacious and connected despite the home’s small footprint.
Comfortable Living Room
The 99 sq ft living room, measuring approximately 9′-7″ × 9′-7″, provides a cozy place to relax, watch television, read, or spend time with family and guests.
Large windows bring natural light into the living space, while the fireplace shown in the design adds warmth and creates a comfortable cabin-inspired atmosphere.
Private 1-Bedroom Layout
The 121 sq ft bedroom measures approximately 10′-10″ × 11′-2″ and provides enough space for a comfortable bed, nightstands, storage furniture, and additional seating.
Windows on the exterior walls provide natural light and help create a bright, relaxing bedroom environment.
Full Bathroom
The home includes a 56 sq ft full bathroom, approximately 10′-10″ × 4′-6″.
The bathroom layout efficiently accommodates the necessary fixtures while maintaining convenient access from the main hallway.
Dedicated Utility Room
A separate 18 sq ft utility room, measuring approximately 3′-3″ × 5′-7″, provides dedicated mechanical and utility space.
The floor plan also identifies a heat pump outdoor unit, making the design suitable for a modern compact-home mechanical approach.
Two Outdoor Decks for Extended Living Space
One of the standout features of the TMS-156-CF1 is its two outdoor decks.
The front deck provides 58 sq ft of outdoor space and measures approximately 11′-8″ × 5′-0″. It creates a welcoming entrance and a comfortable spot for outdoor seating.
At the rear, the larger 92 sq ft back deck measures approximately 15′-0″ × 6′-0″. This space can be used for outdoor dining, relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying the surrounding landscape.
Together, these decks extend the usable lifestyle space beyond the home’s 506 sq ft conditioned interior.
Compact 23′ × 23′ Footprint
The main structure measures approximately 23 feet wide by 23 feet deep, making the TMS-156-CF1 an efficient option for homeowners searching for a compact 23×23 house plan.
Its relatively small footprint may be especially appealing for properties where maximizing the site while keeping the building compact is important.
