Description
A 3 Marla house is a property built on a relatively small plot of land, a size common in dense housing schemes and societies in South Asian countries like Pakistan. The term “Marla” is a traditional unit of area, typically equal to 272.25 square feet (or 250 sq ft/225 sq ft in some areas). A 3 Marla plot is generally around 675 to 817 square feet.
The Spanish Design or “Spanish Elevation” for a house of this size incorporates elements inspired by Spanish Colonial and Mediterranean architecture, which are adapted for a compact, vertical dwelling.
Key Features of the Spanish Design Elevation:
Roofline: Often features a sloping roof with a prominent section covered in terracotta or dark red roof tiles (or tile-like cladding) to evoke the classic Spanish aesthetic.
Finish: Exterior walls are typically finished with rough-texture stucco or plaster in light colors (white, cream, or earthy tones).
Details: May include decorative arches over windows or the main entrance, wrought iron detailing on railings or balconies, and perhaps a small decorative column or two.
Typical Interior Layout (for a double-story 3 Marla house):
To maximize space on the small footprint, 3 Marla homes are almost always double-story. A common layout might include:
Bedrooms: 2 to 3 bedrooms.
Bathrooms/Washrooms: 2 to 4 washrooms.
Living Areas: Usually a separate drawing room (for guests) and one or two TV lounges/living rooms (one on each floor).
Kitchens: Often two separate kitchens (one on each floor) for dual-family living or convenience.
Car Porch: A compact car porch large enough for one small vehicle.
