Normal House sizes?

Posted by AxisTwo on 6 November 2019 in English.

What’s the average length/width of a house in meters? I’m trying to start making buildings, houses, etc… But I’m afraid that I’ll mess up the measurements. I’d like some help on this, thanks.

osm.org, use the ruler below to give an approximate idea. Below are just my practice:

I draw boxes at around (15~20)m*(10~15)m. Generally, you’re looking at 2000 sqft (or 200m2) for American suburban homes.

For urban areas, I draw duplexes (Montreal style - Building with 2 households) at around (6~8)m*(25~30)m.

If you want daylight in the rooms of your houses, then 15 - 20 m from frontside to backyard can be usual for a standard house.
