Notes on this 30×40 3BHK layout
The ground floor
From the sit-out, the front door opens into a 13 × 18 ft living-and-dining hall, with the kitchen (13 × 10 ft) behind it and a door from the kitchen to the wash area. Across a 4 ft central passage are bedroom 1 (13 × 11 ft) with its own bathroom and a store, and the car parking (13 × 17 ft), which has a side door into the passage.
A stair at the back
A straight stair rises at the back of the passage. Putting it there gives it the least useful corner of the site and keeps the front rooms whole. At the top, a landing opens onto two open terraces over the back of the house, one either side of the stair.
Two bedrooms over the parking
The master bedroom and bedroom 2, each 13 × 12 ft, sit over the front of the house. Each has its own bathroom, a window, and a door onto a 4 ft balcony that runs the full 30 ft over the sit-out and the parking. The master bathroom is compact at 7 × 5 ft; a linen cupboard sits beside it.
Light on a wall-to-wall site
Built to both side boundaries, the house can only take light from the front and the back. So every bedroom and the hall face the road, and the kitchen and bathrooms face the wash area or a terrace. Many local bylaws ask for small side setbacks even on a 30 × 40, so check yours before you build to the boundary.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many gaj is a 30×40 site?
About 133 gaj. A 30 × 40 site is 1,200 sq ft, and 1 gaj (one square yard) is 9 sq ft.
Can a 30×40 site take a 3BHK?
Yes, over two floors. This plan has one bedroom on the ground floor and two on the first floor, each with its own bathroom, plus a living-and-dining hall, a kitchen, covered car parking, a balcony and two terraces: 1,582 sq ft in all.
Which way does this 30×40 plan face?
The road is on the south side of this drawing, so it is laid out for a south-facing site. A site facing another way needs the rooms arranged around its own road side, and if you follow Vastu, check the room positions with your consultant.
Can I change this 30×40 plan?
Yes. Open it in MakaanPlan's Studio and move walls, resize rooms, or change the rooms on either floor, and see the house in 3D as you edit. It is free with no time limit, and no account is needed to start.
