1720 Sq.Ft. Simple Modern Home with Flat Roof – A Minimalist Masterpiece for Narrow Plots

In a world where space is at a premium and smart living is a necessity, this 1720 square feet simple-modern home design emerges as an exemplary blend of style, spatial intelligence, and contemporary minimalism. Set on a slender 16' x 53' plot, this two-storey residence—plus a rooftop headroom and terrace—proves that great design doesn’t demand sprawling land, but rather, thoughtful execution.

A Contemporary Façade that Speaks Volumes

From the very first glance, this home commands attention. Its modern flat roof architecture is accentuated by geometric precision and bold horizontal layering. The clean white façade is contrasted with charcoal grey bands and warm wood-finish window frames, creating a visually balanced exterior that feels both urban and inviting. The front elevation is a study in controlled simplicity—angular forms, layered projections, and functional voids brought together with a discerning eye.

A sleek steel-and-wood accented gate leads you to a compact yet elegant portico, where subtle lighting and textures prepare you for what’s to come inside.

Ground Floor – Comfort Meets Functionality

The ground floor is smartly zoned to accommodate all essentials without compromising comfort. Upon entry, a combined living and dining area welcomes you with open arms—designed for easy movement and everyday interaction. The long rectangular floorplate is cleverly utilized with seamless transitions.

A spacious bedroom occupies a quiet corner, complete with an attached modern bathroom, offering privacy and convenience for elderly family members or guests. Adjacent to the dining area, a modest yet functional kitchen completes the ground floor—ideal for daily routines and efficient meal prep.

Despite the compact footprint, large windows flood this level with natural light, creating a sense of openness.

First Floor – Privacy, Light, and Leisure

The upper floor is an elevated retreat in every sense. A second living area offers a cozy family lounge—perfect for weekend movies, reading nooks, or a quiet conversation.

Two well-proportioned bedrooms grace this level—one featuring an attached en-suite bathroom, and the other perfect as a child’s or guest room. The master bedroom opens onto a slim balcony, providing a breath of fresh air and a personal escape for morning coffee or evening stargazing.

The layout balances privacy and openness beautifully, with natural ventilation and circulation taken into careful consideration.

Second Floor – Headroom and Horizon

Climbing one more level leads you to the headroom (60 Sq.Ft.) and a sprawling open terrace—an underappreciated luxury in urban homes. This space is a blank canvas: think container gardening, weekend barbeques, yoga at dawn, or just a space to breathe in the breeze.

The headroom is not just a stair enclosure—it can be custom-fitted as a utility nook, storage space, or even a playful study corner depending on your lifestyle needs.

Design Elements That Stand Out

• Facade Composition: A perfect marriage of boldness and simplicity—white walls, grey stripes, and wood-finish frames make the structure crisp and contemporary.
• Windows & Lighting: Generously glazed windows ensure daylight penetrates deep into the interiors. Warm ambient lighting at the entrance sets a welcoming mood.
• Vertical Living: Built for a narrow 16' frontage, the design uses vertical zoning intelligently to maximize usable space without visual clutter.
• Balcony & Terrace: Outdoor extensions bring in light, air, and leisure—essential for mental well-being in compact urban homes.
• Material Palette: External emulsion on walls, contrasting tile cladding on columns, powder-coated railings, and modern gate patterns define the tactile experience.

Why This Home Works So Well

What makes this design truly commendable is its adaptability for narrow urban plots, a scenario common across Kerala and other parts of India. By stacking space thoughtfully and blending it with minimalist aesthetics, the architect has achieved a rare combination—style without extravagance, space without excess.

Whether you're a nuclear family seeking comfort or a couple wanting an elegant urban retreat, this 3BHK flat-roofed design offers a lifestyle that is both grounded and gracefully modern.

If you're in search of a home that balances aesthetics with functionality, especially on a narrow site, this 1720 sq.ft. design could be your perfect blueprint. It’s proof that simplicity, when done right, is never boring—it’s timeless.
