Shotgun House Floor Plan
A shotgun house lines rooms up front to back with no hallway eating into the square footage, which is what makes it work on a narrow urban lot. ArcSite's shotgun house floor plan template lays that layout out for you, from the open living area to a front porch and rear patio.

Key Considerations When Designing a Shotgun House
Removing the hallway is what makes a shotgun house efficient, but it also means every room opens directly into the next one, so privacy has to come from room order rather than doors down a hall. In ArcSite, you can adjust this shotgun house floor plan's room order and bathroom placement to fit your own lot.
