Rural Prefabricated House Size Atlas

Admin September 18, 2026

Here is a reference atlas of sizes for some rural prefabricated houses, covering two-story and three-story house types as well as golden size combinations:

Two-story Rural Self-built House Types Two-story house types mainly feature medium-sized areas, with land sizes mostly ranging from 10 to 20 meters, and the building area varying significantly according to design requirements. For example, House Type 1 covers an area of 18.8×16 meters with a building area of 439 square meters, suitable for large families; House Type 8 covers an area of 12×11.3 meters with a building area of only 171 square meters, suitable for small families or those with economic needs. The building height generally ranges from 8 to 10.5 meters, and the floor height design needs to consider living comfort and structural stability. Some house types, such as House Type 15, cover an area of 16.6×13.2 meters with a building height of only 7 meters, possibly indicating a low floor height design or the inclusion of loft space.

Golden Size Combinations for Rural Self-built Houses Golden size combinations focus on functionality and practicality, covering different scenario requirements:

  1. Classic Three-room House: With a width of 10 meters and a depth of 12 meters, covering an area of 120 square meters, the first floor has a height of 3.6 meters (which can be reduced to 3.4 meters in the north), the second floor has a height of 3.3 meters, and the stair width is 1.2 meters, suitable for traditional family living.
  2. Narrow Width Design: With a width of 5 meters and a depth of 14 meters, the stair width is 1.1 meters and the tread depth is 25 centimeters, suitable for narrow plots to optimize space utilization.
  3. Shop-fronted Street House: With a width of 6 meters and a depth of 15 meters, the shop door width is 3.6 meters, and the stairs are hidden behind the shop wall with a width of 1 meter, accommodating both living and commercial functions.
  4. Large House with a Courtyard: With a width of 12 meters and a depth of 15 meters, the main house size is 10.8×8.6 meters, and the courtyard gate is 2.88 meters wide and 3.15 meters high, suitable for a courtyard-style layout to meet leisure and living needs.
  5. Economical and Practical Small Building: With a width of 8 meters and a depth of 10 meters, and a spiral staircase diameter of 2.2 meters, suitable for small plots, saving space through a spiral staircase.

Three-story Rural Self-built Villas Three-story house types mainly feature large areas, with land sizes mostly ranging from 10 to 20 meters, and the building area increasing significantly. For example, House Type 5 covers an area of 19×15.4 meters with a building area of 691 square meters and a building height of 13.5 meters, suitable for multi-generational living or high-end living requirements; House Type 8 covers an area of 8.5×9.7 meters with a building area of 268 square meters and a building height of 12.5 meters, suitable for three-story designs on small plots. The building height generally ranges from 11.8 to 15.9 meters, and attention needs to be paid to structural safety and seismic design.
