Tip 1
Use two related wood tones so the cottage reads clearly from a distance.
LAYER-BY-LAYER HOUSE PLAN
9×9 Small Cottage House Blueprint
A compact cottage plan with pale timber, mossy stone accents, flower boxes, and enough wall length to decorate without crowding the interior.
Best for village plots, garden builds, and a small house that should feel finished rather than temporary.

MATERIAL CHECKLIST
Blocks to collect
Counts are calculated from the layer grids for the structural shell, including the door and any marked stairs. Furniture, lighting, decorative details, and scaffolding are additional. Roofs use the full blocks in the legend.
| Material | Count |
|---|---|
| Cobblestone | 32 |
| Stripped birch logs | 127 |
| Oak logs | 12 |
| Oak door | 1 |
| Glass pane | 4 |
| Oak planks | 225 |
| Structure item total | 401 |
INTERACTIVE BLUEPRINT
Build the layers in order
Finish one grid before moving upward. Use the buttons or keyboard focus controls, then download any active layer as SVG.
Set the exact footprint, then fill the interior floor before raising any walls.

CONSTRUCTION ORDER
How to build the 9×9 Small House
- Step 1Build the 9×9 stone rim and fill the interior with pale wood.
- Step 2Place darker posts at each corner to frame the lighter wall blocks.
- Step 3Set paired windows with room for exterior shutters and planters.
- Step 4Complete the layered oak roof, then add cottage details after the shell is sealed.
BUILDING TIPS
Make the plan work in your world
Tip 2
Keep flower boxes outside the footprint; they do not affect the core material count.
Tip 3
A chimney looks best one block off center rather than on the roof ridge.
