Houses by plot dimensions
House on a 9 × 7 m plot
This design favours a wide facade and a relatively short depth. That proportion makes it possible to arrange several spaces side by side, but it increases the potential width of the floors, the lintels and the facade openings.
The choice of joist direction and of bearing lines therefore matters more than the available floor area alone.

These details describe the design as presented. Floor areas, capacity and performance are not given: they are defined during the study of your project.
What this design shows
The plans show an arrangement spread across the whole width. Without a correctly placed cross wall or intermediate support, certain spans could become incompatible with the deflections sought. The structure must be designed from the loads, the span direction and the position of the walls of the upper floor.
The upper facade includes a recessed zone and wide openings. This configuration reduces the portions of wall available for bracing and creates several exposed edges: floor, balustrade, joinery and any planter or secondary facade.
The projecting elements shown must have a calculated support and their own drainage. They cannot be fixed to the external facing alone.
Layout
Schematic plans
These documents are there to make the layout and the envelope shown understandable. They are schematic plans: they constitute neither construction drawings, nor structural drawings, nor a building permit.
Possible adaptations and their technical implications
Creating a fully open interior space may mean removing a cross wall useful to the floor or to the bracing. That decision must be offset by another load-bearing arrangement before the panels are prepared.
The facade setback can become an enclosed room, but the new joinery and the new walls change the loads and the thermal connections. Conversely, enlarging it changes the floor edge and the protection of its soffit.
For a series, repeating the facade bays can simplify the lintels and the panels. Alternating many variants quickly reduces that benefit.
A design becomes a project only after study
Site and geotechnics, planning, orientation, climate, structure, foundations, loads, wind, seismic action, envelope, performance, services, regulations and contractual scope are defined for the real case. None of these points is guaranteed by the original documents.
