3 Bedroom House Plans & Designs in Kenya

3 bedroom houses are the most searched and most built homes in Kenya, from Nairobi's satellite towns to Eldoret, Kisumu, Nakuru and Nyeri. Most clients pick a flat roof bungalow for a 50×100 plot or a maisonette for a 40×80 plot, with a master ensuite and a DSQ.

Every three bedroom house plan here comes with real floor plans, elevations and photo-realistic renders, and the full set of building plans you need for county approval: architectural drawings, structural drawings, plumbing and electrical layouts. A typical 3 bedroom floor plan is 100 to 180 m², with the bedrooms in a quiet wing or on the upper floor and the living room, dining and kitchen near the entrance.

Modern 3 bedroom house designs in Kenya are mostly flat roof bungalows with parapet walls and big windows, or slim maisonettes for 40×80 plots. If you are building on a low budget, a simple rectangular 3 bedroom house under a mabati hip roof costs the least to build and can be finished in phases.

Every plan below can be customised at no extra cost: add or remove rooms, change the roof from mabati to a flat concrete roof, add a swimming pool, gazebo, gym, sauna or walk-in closet. Architectural drawings start at KSh 25,000. You pay the site visit fee first, a 50% deposit at the site visit, and the balance when the drawings are done.
