House Plans With the Most Pantry and Linen Storage

North is always up, like Google Maps. Every plan here is turned so north points up the page.

A robe fills with the clothes of whoever sleeps in that room, so the storage a household shares day to day is the pantry and the linen press. These house plans are ranked by the pantry and linen cupboard area measured on each floor plan, most first.

Every reading is measured off the floor plan itself, tracing each robe, linen cupboard, pantry and store room and converting it to square metres through the plan's own width and depth. A reading is approximate and shown to one decimal place. Garage bays, alfresco cupboards, laundries and bedroom floor area are not counted as storage. For the total with the robes and the store rooms counted back in, see house plans with lots of storage.

The most pantry and linen storage on this page is 21.7 m², and the middle plan carries 18.7 m².

This page lists 1,609 plans, from builders including Integrale Homes, Coral Homes, Ausmar Homes, Kaplan Homes, priced from $152k to $1.0M, from builders rated 2.7 to 5.0 on Google.

Architect reviewed for real Australian blocks

Dudils checks each approved plan for the direction its living areas need to face, the block envelope it fits, and whether the garage or driveway placement supports passive solar design. It is a shortlist for better conversations with your builder, designer or architect.

Summer: eaves block sun

Winter: lower angle lets sun in

In winter the low northern sun streams through north facing windows for free heat. In summer a roof overhang blocks the high sun. Good orientation cuts your energy bills with no mechanical systems.

Questions about the storage readings

How is the storage on these plans measured?

Every robe, linen cupboard, pantry and store room is traced on the floor plan itself and converted to square metres through the plan's own width and depth. The reading is approximate and is shown to one decimal place.

What counts as storage and what does not?

Robes, linen cupboards, pantries and dedicated store rooms count. Garage bays, alfresco cupboards, laundries and bedroom floor area do not, so the figure is the built in storage rather than every space a box could go in.

Why rank by pantry and linen storage instead of total storage?

Because a robe fills with the clothes of whoever sleeps in that room. The storage a household shares is the pantry and the linen press, so this page ranks by the measured pantry and linen area rather than by the total.
