Prefabricated One-Story Two-in-One Courtyard House

The one-story two-in-one courtyard house is a traditional residential building that combines the characteristics of the northern courtyard house and the southern patio house. It is suitable for small families or leisure vacations, featuring privacy, functionality, and flexibility.

Design Features

The one-story two-in-one courtyard house emphasizes a balance between privacy and functionality. Its core layout consists of two independent courtyards connected by corridors or doorways, which can be used for living and leisure purposes separately. For example, in a case with an area of less than 200 square meters, the entrance leads to a leisure area (living room, tea room connected to the courtyard), followed by a dining area (Chinese kitchen, Western kitchen, and dining room). The rest area is located in a quiet corner, with the master bedroom having its own bathroom, the secondary bedroom near the common bathroom, and the laundry room and storage room arranged centrally to achieve efficient space utilization.

Layout flexibility is another advantage. The frame structure has non-load-bearing walls, allowing for free renovation. The horse-head wall design is both aesthetically pleasing and cost-effective. Additionally, the blank design combined with floor-to-ceiling windows and folding doors can introduce the courtyard landscape into the interior, enhancing ventilation and lighting effects and improving living comfort.

Architectural Structure

In terms of structure, the one-story two-in-one courtyard house mostly adopts a brick-concrete or frame structure to ensure stability and durability. The roof is usually designed as a sloped roof for easy drainage and in line with traditional aesthetics. Wall materials can be selected from bricks, stones, or concrete according to the climate and style. For example, materials with good moisture resistance may be preferred in humid southern regions.

Specifications and Customization

The floor area can be adjusted flexibly. For example, a self-built case in a rural area of Henan has dimensions of 20×20 meters (covering an area of 230 square meters, excluding the courtyard), and there is also a layout of 19 meters by 33 meters. Customers can customize colors, areas, and internal layouts to meet their personalized needs. The construction grade is generally Grade A to ensure quality and safety, and the construction period is relatively short, suitable for rapid construction needs.

Suitable Scenarios

The one-story two-in-one courtyard house is suitable for scenarios such as family living, vacation villas, and homestays. Its single-story design eliminates the need for climbing stairs, making it friendly to the elderly and children, and especially suitable for small families or elderly living. For example, the Henan case meets the needs of two generations living together through an independent main and secondary courtyard design, including 4 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, and 2 dining rooms and other functional areas.
