1. Advantages when building a 2-story townhouse 5x20m

• “Just enough” area for a 2-story townhouse:

5m width helps arrange a beautiful facade and airy living space

20m depth is enough to divide into 2–3 bedrooms + common living spaces

• Easy to optimize functionality:

Reasonable division of space for living room, kitchen – dining, back yard, front yard

Can arrange skylight, staircase, and toilet reasonably in the middle of the house

• Suitable for medium budget – easy to plan construction:

2 stories do not incur too large costs for foundation, structure

Floor area of 100–120m² is easy to control within a financial range of 1–1.3 billion

3. Cost of building a 1-ground-floor 1-upper-floor 5x20m house full package

First, we need to calculate the total construction area for the 1-ground-floor 1-upper-floor 5x20m house model. Because the cost of building a full-package house will depend on the total construction area. The formula for calculating the total construction area will be calculated according to the following formula:

Total construction area = Foundation area + Ground floor area + Upper floor areas + Roof area

We will take an example with the 2-story house model with an area of 5x20 = 100m² using strip foundation and tile roof. The component area of this house model will be:

• Strip foundation = 50% = 50m²

• Ground floor = 100% = 100m²

• First floor = 100% = 100m²

• Using tile roof = 50% = 50m² (flat roof = 70%, metal sheet roof = 30%)

=> Total area = 50m² + 100m² x 2 + 50m² = 300m²

Thus, with a total construction area of 300m², the cost of building a 1-ground-floor 1-upper-floor 5x20m house full package will be:

5. Design tips to save costs while still being modern

•  Reduce floor area if not needed

Can leave 2–3m of backyard empty to bring light, ventilation, and save roofing cost

• Prioritize open – connected space

Do not make too many partitions → helps the house be more spacious, saves wall building and finishing costs

• Choose durable – beautiful – easy-to-replace materials

Faux wood tiles, cement tiles, artificial stone, plastic wood louvers for sun shading for the facade

• Choose modern minimalist style

Neutral tones, few patterns help the building look elegant without increasing costs

• Facade combined with large glass doors + horizontal or vertical sunshade louvers
• Wall with brick tiles, faux stone paint, or using lightweight cement panels to create block effect
• Gate and balcony using steel box or tempered glass, minimal and luxurious
• Flat roof or simple sloping roof design → modern and easy to construct
