Architectural Design for Two Mirrored Single-Story Homes
Budget: £20 – £250 GBP
Architectural Design for Two Mirrored Single-Story Homes (280 m² Total) in Tripoli, Libya
Project Summary:
We are looking for a skilled **architect or architectural designer** to create a **floor plan** for a **single-story residential building** that includes **two mirrored family homes** built side by side. The total built area will be **approximately 280 square meters**, with each home sized around **125 m²**, plus shared/common spaces.
This project is for a **real plot in Tripoli, Libya**, and should reflect local climate, privacy expectations, and cost-effective construction.
---
Project Details:
* **Plot Size**: 40 × 60 meters
* **Orientation**: The plot faces **west** (main access from west side). The other three sides are bordered by neighboring walls.
* **Building Type**: One-story structure containing **two mirrored homes** (not a duplex)
* **Total Built Area**: Approximately **280 m²**
* Each unit around **125 m²**
* Remainder allocated to shared spaces (entry, reception, courtyard)
* **Roof Type**: Flat roof
* **Preferred Construction Approach**: Simple, minimalist, cost-effective design using locally available materials (e.g., concrete, blockwork, cinder blocks)
---
Each Home Should Include:
* 3 Bedrooms:
* 1 master bedroom with en-suite bathroom
* 2 secondary bedrooms sharing a bathroom
* Living room
* Reception or entry foyer ( this can be in the shared area )
* Closed kitchen (not open-plan)
* All main rooms should open toward or have access to a **central courtyard**
* Internal circulation should support **privacy and efficient space use**
* a corridor that reach to the rooms and open to the cortyard, glass will be installed
---
Shared Central Courtyard:
* The two homes should be separated by a **partially open courtyard** (approx. 8 × 8 meters preferred), accessible from both homes
* Should provide light, air circulation, and a peaceful shared outdoor space
* Possibility for glass corridors or shaded walkways around the courtyard is welcome
---
Entrances:
* We are **open to both shared or separate main entrances**
* You may suggest the more efficient or cost-effective layout
---
Deliverables:
* 2D architectural floor plan showing:
* Full layout of both homes and courtyard
* Accurate room sizes and total area calculations
* Clear labeling of spaces
* Preferred file formats: PDF and editable CAD (DWG, DXF, or equivalent)
Optional but appreciated:
* Basic site plan positioning the building on the plot
* Façade sketch or layout suggestions
---
Location:
Tripoli, Libya – design should suit **Mediterranean/Libyan climate** with consideration for heat, privacy, and natural ventilation.
---
Budget:
We are targeting a fair budget based on conceptual design work:
* **Estimated range: \$100–200 gbp**
* Higher budget possible if high-quality, detailed work is delivered
---
Timeline:
* **Preferred delivery time: 5–7 days**
---
To Apply:
Please include:
* Examples of similar single-story residential plans or courtyard homes
* Brief note on your design approach and any local/international experience
* Confirmation of deliverables and your estimated timeline
