Single Story, 1 Bed, 1 Bath, 225 sq.ft. Tiny Mediterranean House Floor Plans: Clay-Eaved Courtyard Hideaway

Last updated on April 7, 2026 · ⓘ How we make our floor plans

Clay-Eaved Courtyard Hideaway Floor Plan

Meet one of the most charming compact dwellings you’ll come across — a single-story, single-bedroom casita that packs genuine livability into just 225 square feet. Small in footprint, big in personality.

The exterior draws unmistakably from Spanish Colonial tradition. Smooth stucco cladding in a warm, creamy beige wraps the structure with timeless appeal. A signature arched window with a wrought-iron decorative grille punctuates the front façade, while a solid wooden entry door sits beneath a gabled porch canopy supported by a rustic timber bracket. Stone steps rise gently to the threshold. The roof is clad in traditional terracotta clay barrel tiles, their warm reddish-orange hue completing the Mediterranean look with effortless authority. Every detail earns its place.

The floor plans presented here are draft layouts, carefully drawn and ready for your review. They are available for download as printable PDF files, making it easy to share, annotate, or bring along to your next meeting with a contractor. Print them, pin them, scribble on them — that’s what they’re there for.

The main — and only — floor occupies a crisp 15′ × 15′ square footprint. Don’t let the dimensions fool you. The layout is thoughtfully arranged, making sure every square foot pulls its weight. Four distinct spaces are carved out with clarity and purpose.

The Living Room anchors the plan at a generous 90 sq ft — the largest room in the home, as it should be. It sits toward the front entry and provides the social and functional heart of this little retreat.

Tucked neatly to one side, the Kitchenette at 32 sq ft keeps cooking compact and efficient. No wasted space, no superfluous countertops. Just the essentials, done well.

The Bedroom claims 64 sq ft — a comfortable private zone that manages to feel like a proper sleeping quarters rather than a converted closet. A welcome distinction.

Finally, the Bathroom comes in at a notably roomy 41 sq ft for a home this size. It sits adjacent to the bedroom and kitchenette, positioned for practical access. At nearly a fifth of the total floor area, it’s clear that comfort was not sacrificed at the altar of compactness.

We have more facade options of this design:

White Stucco Siding with Blue Trim and Doors

house siding white stucco with blue trim and doors

New move: the facade now wears white stucco with bold blue trim and a matching door. The blue rings the arched windows and runs along the rafter tails, snapping the silhouette beneath those terracotta tiles.

That color shift turns the entry canopy into a petite stage, with blue brackets hamming it up.

The stucco’s brightness sharpens shadows, so the iron window grilles and tidy sills pop instead of whisper. The door, painted to match the trim, anchors the porch like a cheerful period at the end of a sentence.

Same Mediterranean bones—now seaside-fresh and a bit cheeky.

Black Marble Siding

The siding switches to black marble, and the little cottage suddenly wears a tuxedo. Glossy slabs with fine gold veining turn the walls into a mirror, making the pale stone window and door surrounds pop like picture frames.

Wrought‑iron grilles look jewel-like against the dark field, and every curve of those arched openings reads crisper.

That new skin turbocharges the contrast with the terracotta roof and the mini clay‑tiled awning, so the timber brackets and warm wood door feel extra inviting.

Lanterns bounce light off the marble, giving the entry a subtle stage-glow, while the light base course now acts like a plinth. Same proportions, new swagger—rustic hideaway upgraded to boutique pavilion.

White Marble Siding

The siding switched to white marble, trading matte walls for a luminous, veined skin. Light now skips across the facade, sharpening the eave shadows and making the clay roof read spicier.

The base band looks tailored and crisp, like neatly pressed cuffs.

Marble also reframes the arched windows, turning their iron grilles into jewelry. The wood door, bracketed awning, and its tiny clay-tile “eyebrow” glow warmer against the cool stone—gelato with a paprika hat. Same cozy form, now dressed in couture.

Limestone Block Siding

The siding switched to limestone blocks, trading smoothness for rugged texture. Cream-to-honey stones, irregularly coursed, throw lively shadows and beef up the arched window returns with stout sills.

The entry reads sturdier too, the wood-canopy brackets popping crisply against pale masonry.

Quoins lock the corners, a stone plinth grounds the walls, and the gable feels thicker—pleasantly fortress-lite. Mortar joints sketch a tidy grid that flatters the clay tiles and timber, earth greeting earth.

Tougher skin, same charm; now the facade looks ready to shrug off weather and the occasional runaway ball.

White Stucco Siding

The siding is now white stucco, trading the old cladding for a crisp, sunlit shell. The smooth finish sharpens shadows beneath the chunky clay eaves and the petite porch canopy. Arched windows pop harder, their stone surrounds suddenly stage-lit.

This fresh stucco skin tidies corners and spotlights the warm wood door and beefy brackets. The wrought-iron grilles read filigree, not fussy, while the stone base looks sturdier by contrast. Mediterranean dial: turned up, siesta approved.
