If you’re searching for a 1 kanal house design in Pakistan, this home design is built to make the most of a full Kanal plot: a basement — included free of cost — sits beneath a ground floor and first floor, with a mumty topping the roof. At 1 Kanal (20 Marla, roughly 4,500 sq. ft.), it’s one of the larger plot sizes Ghar Plans designs for, and this particular home design puts that space to work with 5 bedrooms, two distinct kitchens, a laundry room, and side terraces on both main floors.

What makes this 1 kanal home design stand out is the basement — a genuine extra level included at no additional cost, which normally adds significant construction expense on a plot this size. The rest of the layout is built for real households rather than just square footage: an open kitchen for everyday family life sits alongside a separate dirty kitchen for heavier cooking and cleanup, a dedicated laundry room keeps that work out of the main living areas, and side terraces on both the ground and first floor add usable outdoor space most 1 kanal house designs skip. Whether you’re comparing 1 kanal house designs in Pakistan, still gathering 1 kanal house ideas, or specifically looking for a 1 kanal luxury house design, this page covers the complete layout, what’s included, and what it costs to buy from Ghar Plans.

1 Kanal vs 20 Marla: Same Plot, Two Names

If you’ve seen this same 4,500 sq. ft. plot size called “20 Marla” elsewhere on our site or others, that’s not a mistake — “Kanal” and “Marla” are just two different units used side by side in Pakistani real estate, and 1 Kanal always equals 20 Marla. Whichever term you search, this page’s design — with its basement, mumty, and dual-kitchen layout — is a genuinely distinct home design, not a duplicate listing.

Ground Floor Layout – 2 Bedrooms, Open Kitchen & Dirty Kitchen

The ground floor is built around genuine day-to-day living: a combined drawing/dining room handles more formal occasions, while a separate living room gives the family its own everyday space. The open kitchen serves that living area directly, while a separate wet or “dirty” kitchen — used for heavier cooking, prep and cleanup — keeps the open kitchen clean for everyday use and entertaining. A dedicated laundry room and a side terrace with a lawn view round out the floor, and both ground-floor bedrooms come with their own attached bathroom and dressing room.

First Floor Layout – 3 More Bedrooms & a Second Terrace

The first floor is dedicated almost entirely to bedrooms — 3 in total, each with its own attached bathroom, giving a larger family genuine privacy rather than shared rooms. A side terrace on this floor mirrors the one downstairs, giving the upper level its own outdoor space too.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 1 Kanal house?

1 Kanal is a plot size equal to 20 Marla, or roughly 4,500 sq. ft. — commonly built on a 45 ft × 100 ft plot in Ghar Plans’ other Kanal designs.

Is 1 Kanal the same as 20 Marla?

Yes. 20 Marla works out to exactly 4,500 sq. ft. using the standard 225 sq. ft.-per-Marla conversion, which is identical to 1 Kanal — they’re two names for the same plot size.

How many bedrooms does this 1 Kanal home design have?

5 bedrooms in total: 2 on the ground floor and 3 on the first floor, each with its own attached bathroom.

Does this 1 Kanal house design include a basement?

Yes — a basement is included with this design at no additional cost, a genuine bonus on a plot this size where a basement normally adds significant construction expense.

What is a mumty, and does this design include one?

A mumty is a small enclosed structure on the roof — typically covering the stairwell and used for storage or utility space — with the rest of the roof left open as a terrace. This design includes one.

Does this house design have two kitchens?

Yes. The ground floor has an open kitchen for everyday use plus a separate wet or “dirty” kitchen for heavier cooking and cleanup.

Is there a laundry room?

Yes, on the ground floor, kept separate from the main living and kitchen areas.

Are there terraces in this design?

Yes — a side terrace on the ground floor with a lawn view, and a second side terrace on the first floor.

What do I get when I buy this house plan?

You receive the complete drawing package for the basement, ground floor, first floor and mumty as downloadable digital files — the 2D house map, 2D and 3D front elevation, working drawings, schedules, foundation and section drawings, electrical and plumbing drawings, and a rendered layout. Submission drawings and structural drawings are available separately if your project needs them.

How much does this 1 Kanal house design cost?

House plans at Ghar Plans are priced as a small, one-time cost — you’ll find the current price for this plan at the top of the page, with the basement included.

Can the floor plan or elevation be customised?

Yes. Our design team can adjust the room layout, elevation style, or the basement and mumty, for an additional customisation fee — contact our team for a quote.

What’s the difference between a “1 kanal house design” and a “1 kanal home design”?

How is this different from Ghar Plans’ other 1 Kanal house designs?

Ghar Plans offers several 1 Kanal house designs with different bedroom counts and layouts. This one’s defining features are its free basement, dual kitchens (open and dirty), a dedicated laundry room, and terraces on both main floors — browse our other 1 Kanal designs below if you’d like to compare bedroom counts or a different elevation style.
