Practical one-bedroom layouts

Make the limited floor area work for you.

Plan the bedroom, bathroom and shared living space together. Your final arrangement should reflect the furniture, privacy and circulation you need, rather than only the total square metres.

  • Bedroom space

    Allow usable wall space for the bed, storage and movement. A larger bedroom may require an increase in the overall building size.

  • Bathroom arrangement

    Discuss a private bathroom with shower, toilet and basin, subject to the agreed layout and plumbing scope.

  • Open kitchen and lounge

    Use an open-plan arrangement to avoid unnecessary passages and internal divisions.

  • Windows and natural light

    Agree the aluminium window positions as part of the bedroom and living-area layout.

One-bedroom questions

Before you choose your size.

Use these answers to prepare your enquiry. Your written quotation and final floor plan confirm the details of your home.

Ask our team
How much is a 1 bedroom Nutec house?
At the stated R5,500/m² rate, 28 m² gives an indicative R154,000, 32 m² gives R176,000 and 36 m² gives R198,000. These examples are before separately quoted extras and project-specific adjustments. Your final layout, site and specification determine the quotation.
Which one-bedroom size should I consider?
This page compares approximately 28–36 m² starting sizes. The smallest option has less area to divide between the rooms; a larger size provides more area to allocate to the bedroom, bathroom or open-plan living space. Discuss your furniture and room priorities rather than choosing by area alone.
Can the bedroom be 15 m²?
Yes, this can be discussed. The overall building size may need to increase so the bathroom, open-plan living area and circulation still fit. A 15 m² bedroom is not automatically included in every example shown here.
Does the quotation include plumbing?
Where included in the agreed scope, plumbing can cover bathroom and kitchen work together with water and sewer connections within the standard 10 metre range. The approximate plumbing allocation is R25,000. Confirm the actual fixtures and work in your quotation.
Does it include electrical work?
Where included, the electrical scope can cover house wiring, plugs, switches, the DB box and the main supply cable within the standard 10 metre range. The approximate electrical allocation is R22,000.
Are kitchen and bedroom cupboards included?
Kitchen cupboards and bedroom cupboards are quoted separately. Include your storage requirements when discussing the layout and quotation.
Do I need plans or municipal submission?
Requirements depend on the project and municipality. Tell us what plans you already have and what assistance you need. Building plans, engineering assistance and municipal submission are separately selected services; that does not determine whether approvals are required for the property.
Is a concrete slab or veranda included?
The standard foundation option is on poles or stilts. Concrete slabs are quoted separately. A custom veranda is also assessed according to its size and requirements, so do not assume it is included in the 28, 32 or 36 m² examples.
Can I request a custom one-bedroom size?
Yes. Send your preferred size, location and layout requirements. The examples here are starting points, not the only designs available. You can also compare our wider Nutec house options .
