Artem two-story house plan with garage, study and four bedrooms (203 м²)

Artem house plan with garage and boiler room

In a house of this size, the garage, utility rooms and family space can easily turn into one blurred circulation pattern. Artem avoids that problem by placing everyday shared rooms and service spaces on the ground floor while reserving the upper level for four bedrooms. Its two-story house layout belongs to the collection of 200–300 m² house plans, where the important question is how the rooms work together, not simply how many square metres they contain.

Artem has a total area of 203 m², or 181.2 m² without the garage, within overall dimensions of 13.24 × 17.88 m. The entrance porch, garage approach and covered rear terrace should be considered together when the house is positioned on a plot.

Architectural solution

The main volume has a hipped roof, while the attached garage and entrance group have their own roof volumes. Light rendered walls, stone plinth cladding, a red roof, two light brick chimneys and the porch with its canopy create a composed exterior rather than a collection of unrelated additions. At the rear, the covered terrace is enclosed by a railing and connects directly to the shared indoor space.

The main foundation outline measures 13.24 × 11.68 m. Separating that outline from the attached parts gives the principal volume a clear structural starting point before the garage, porch and terrace are set out on a particular plot.

How the space works inside

From the 2.8 m² vestibule, the route enters a 12.7 m² hall. The boiler room is 5.2 m², the pantry is 2.6 m², the ground-floor bathroom is 4.2 m² and the study is 18.6 m². The study may remain a work room or serve as a guest room or fifth bedroom when an additional sleeping space is needed.

The 37.6 m² open-plan kitchen-living area has access to the covered terrace. The 21.8 m² garage sits beside a 9.5 m² utility room, so equipment used outside does not have to cross the hall. There is also a route from the boiler room to the garage, keeping the service path away from the kitchen-living area.

A 5.1 m² stair leads to an 8.7 m² upper corridor, a 6.1 m² bathroom and bedrooms of 19.1 m², 18 m², 16.7 m² and 13.7 m². In large two-story houses, a stair landing that opens straight into the living room often carries everyday noise upstairs. In Artem, the stair meets a short separate corridor, so the four bedrooms form a private level rather than an extension of the shared room.

What Artem is built from

• Foundations: strip monolithic reinforced concrete.
• Ground-floor slab: laid over ground.
• External walls: 375 mm aerated concrete block.
• Floor structures: reinforced-concrete panels.
• Roof: pitched, finished with bituminous shingles.
• Room heights: 2.79 m on the ground floor and 2.8 m upstairs.

This is a masonry-wall and concrete-panel structural scheme. Its application to a particular site still requires the plot conditions and agreed construction documentation to be checked before work begins.

Who this plan was designed for

Artem suits a household that needs four independent bedrooms upstairs, a separate work room and a garage within one composition. The 18.6 m² ground-floor study can also serve as a guest room or fifth bedroom, giving the layout up to five sleeping rooms without changing its basic arrangement.

Common client questions

Will the house fit on a narrow plot?

That cannot be confirmed from a plan name alone. Artem is 13.24 × 17.88 m overall, with a 13.24 × 11.68 m main foundation outline, and the garage approach, porch and terrace also need space. An architect should compare the actual plot boundaries and required setbacks before deciding whether this arrangement is suitable.

Can a garage or carport be added?

Artem already includes a 21.8 m² attached garage, so an additional carport is not an assumed part of this project. Any extra roofed structure would need to be checked against the plot, access route and construction solution.

Can the kitchen and living room be combined?

The 37.6 m² kitchen-studio is already planned as the common open space and has direct access to the covered terrace. If openings or service routes are to be altered, the drawings must be reviewed first so that the change does not conflict with the structural or technical layout.

Which documents are needed for the building permit?

The exact requirements depend on the jurisdiction and the site, so Artem does not establish a permit list by itself. Before construction, confirm the locally required documentation, the house placement and any necessary engineering decisions.

Why choose the Artem plan

Artem brings together four bedrooms, a ground-floor study, two bathrooms, a garage and a utility room without making the kitchen-living area a corridor. The Artem series also has related versions with a mirrored plan, a different garage position or a balcony; compare the confirmed room set of each version rather than assuming that a change applies to this plan.

The author’s note identifies gas, solid-fuel and electric heating as possible directions, with a heat pump worth considering for electric heating. The final system must be selected through project-specific engineering review, not assumed from the house plan alone.

Summary of the Artem plan

Artem is a two-story house plan for a family that wants a clear boundary between everyday shared life, service work and sleeping rooms. The terrace extends the kitchen-living area, the garage has its own service route, and the upper floor remains private. If that sequence matches your needs, ask an architect to review the plot placement and order the agreed construction drawings.

What to look at next

For a comparison, see the two-story Bohuslav plan, 206 m², with a dressing room, boiler room and carport. It has a similar scale but a different set of ancillary rooms.
