Ideal for privacy and separating the entertaining area or receiving room, mostly situated at the ground floor, 2 story house plans offer both privacy and play. The ground floor may include the entry porch, garage, living area, dining and kitchen. At the rear or back may include a service area, laundry or even a lanai from the dining room exit. Although others prefer that bedrooms should be located at the second floor, some would prefer that a master’s bedroom would be at the ground Floor. Elderly prefer this option for convenience as they do not have to climb a stair to go to the bedroom.

Advantages of a 2 story house

It can be complicated decision to choose from a one story or a two story house if you are planning to build your dream home. Below are some advantages of 2 story house which may affect your decision in the future:

  • Space Saving. You have more space for the same lot area. If you have a lot area of 160 square meters and you are only allowed a 90 sq.m. floor area, you can double this area and making it 180 sq.m. if you opt in for a 2 story type house.
  • Privacy. The separation of the living areas and sleeping areas are also a deciding factor for many home owners. Living areas and receiving rooms for 2 story usually situated at the ground floor and bedrooms will be on the upper floor.
  • Flood Safe. This feature may be true or not but compared to a one story, you still have the second floor to go safe when water rises in flood-prone areas.

With all the advantages mentioned above, 2 story house types also have disadvantages.

  • You need to climb a stair to go to your bedroom. This will not be friendly specially to the oldies, tired or drunked.
  • You may injure yourself when you fall on the stair.
  • Less flexible when it comes to the usage of the house as you have to go down to the ground floor too reach the dining or kitchen.

Most of the 2 story house nowadays would be single attached type to efficiently utilize the lot. With one of the sides fire-walled you could save at least 30 square meter of floor area and turn it into a usable room instead of a vacant area. With narrow lots, this design is very applicable and can be extended even another floor to add more space.
