What Makes an Urban Villa Unique?

An urban villa combines timeless architectural elegance with modern functionality. This home style is typically built in urban or suburban areas and offers two full-height stories, a cubic or symmetrical design, and spacious interiors filled with natural light.

Common Features of an Urban Villa:

• Two full floors (no sloped ceilings upstairs)

• Flat or low-pitched roof

• Large windows, often floor-to-ceiling

• Open-plan living and dining areas

• One or more balconies or terraces

• Clear geometric lines and symmetrical layout

• Often a central hallway or gallery space

Who typically builds an urban villa?

• Families seeking elegant, functional living space

• Private individuals building long-term homes

• Developers of luxury residential projects

• Professionals who value architectural simplicity with space

Urban villas are ideal for compact city plots because they make the most of vertical and horizontal space without sacrificing comfort or design.

How to Plan an Urban Villa Floor Plan with Plan7Architect

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Start a New Project
   Open Plan7Architect, begin a new project, and define the building plot according to your available space.

2. Define Lot Size
   Enter lot dimensions in either meters or feet. The software handles both systems, and unit switching is instant.

3. Draw the Building Shape
   Use 2D mode to draw your building outline—typically rectangular or square. The wall tool allows free shaping and dimensioning.

4. Add Interior Rooms
   Use drag-and-drop tools to place:

   • Living room, dining area, kitchen

   • Guest bathroom, utility room, home office

   • Upstairs: bedrooms, master suite with private bathroom

   • Optional: guest room, fitness room, playroom

5. Insert Staircases and Hallways
   Plan wide, central staircases and logical transitions between rooms. Use layer features to manage floor levels clearly.

6. Configure Roof, Balconies, and Terraces
   Add flat roofs or gently sloped ones. Use balcony elements to extend second-floor space.

7. Switch to 3D View
   Plan and furnish every room in 3D. You can instantly walk through the model and view from all angles.

Tip:

Use the “Room Book” function in Plan7Architect to keep track of room sizes and floor areas. It helps ensure nothing gets forgotten and supports accurate planning.

Key Design Considerations for an Urban Villa

To ensure comfort, logic, and value in your floor plan, pay attention to the following:

Layout Guidelines:

• Living spaces downstairs, private zones upstairs

• Logical flow between rooms (no dead-ends)

• Room sizes should feel generous, not oversized

• Staircase should be well lit and central if possible

• Avoid overly long hallways

Access and Outdoor Connection:

• Include multiple access points to terraces or balconies

• Consider garden access from both living and kitchen areas

• Plan for carport or garage near entrance

Light and Ventilation:

• Place large windows on south-facing walls (Northern Hemisphere)

• Design cross-ventilation through window placement

• Include roof lighting if possible
