House Plan

This is a middle class house plan. It has four bedrooms. There is a large open place at middle, the waranda. The passage behind medium bedrooms is half yard wide, it is only for air means it is not a walkable place due to extension of windows. The corridors are 1.5 yards wide including 0.5 yards taken occassionaly by round pillars. There are 4 attached baths one with each bedroom.

The plot is a square of 484 sq yards or 400 sq meters. Two outer walls are 6 inches wide and six inner walls are 4 inches wide, total 1 yard width is given to walls in both north-south and east-west dimensions. The place to map is therefore 21 yards x 21 yards.

The house is made by keeping ventilation in mind so that the inhabitants are not dependent on electricity for cooling. Enough space is given both in front and back of each room for crossing of air. The drawing room, dining room, toilet, study, kitchen and garage also have cross ventilation. The bedrooms are given one additional window each for more air.

A very large open space is left in front of house wide enough for a truck to come in if inhabitants wishes so. The total opening is 27 ft divided into two equal halves by a central 9 ft wide pool. The space around pool is 9 ft wide at north-south and 10.5 ft wide at east-wide directions, wide enough for a truck to roll around the pool.

Both the lawn and open place at entrance is 9 ft wide.
