Compact three-bedroom log house plan — 10 × 8 m

Glulam log house, 88 or 220 mm wall options

The bedrooms on this plan do not open off the living room. A hall sits in the middle of the house and all 3 bedrooms and the bathroom open off that instead, so you can cross from one end to the other without walking through somebody's evening. In a house of 80 m² that is a deliberate, and fairly expensive, choice.

The second thing to know before you start moving walls: this layout is drawn to be made in 88 mm or in 220 mm. The rooms do not change between the two. Almost everything else does.

Sizes are taken from the drawing and are a starting point — everything here can be changed.Room sizes are measured to the drawn line, so they do not allow for wall thickness — the finished floor area will be a little smaller. Areas are rounded down for the same reason.

The hall is the room to argue about

It is the second largest room on the drawing — bigger than any of the 3 bedrooms. Shrink it and the bedrooms grow. Keep it and you have somewhere for coats, boots and wet dogs that is not the room you eat in. It has a window of its own, which is why some people keep it and furnish it rather than treating it as circulation to be minimised.

One layout, two wall thicknesses

88 mm is roughly where a log wall stops being a garden-building wall and starts being a house one. 220 mm glulam is the heavy end of what we make, meant for a house lived in through a winter. The plan is identical either way, so decide how the building will be used before you decide what it is made of — that choice moves the price further than a metre of floor area will.

What people usually change

Taking a metre off the hall and giving it to the third bedroom, which is the tightest room here
Turning that third bedroom into a utility or a shower room, so the single bathroom is not the only one
Opening the kitchen end of the living space into the hall, if you would rather have one big room than a hall at all

The 7 doors and 11 windows come from a render and are approximate. The hall doors are the ones to think hardest about — they decide whether that space reads as a corridor or as a room.

Take this 10 × 8 m plan and shrink the hall

Open the layout in the free floor-plan tool, move the hall walls until the bedrooms are the size you need, tell us which wall thickness you are after, and we will come back with a price.
