What is the average height of a one story house?

Answer 1

The word average here is INCREDIBLY general, since averages vary greatly from one geographical area to the next.

So, I will use my experience to set the parameters and say that an average One story home (2-3 bedrooms) would be around 1,600 SF, making the math simpler, we'll say the dimensions are 40'x40'.

That said, starting at the surface of the slab or the finished wood sub-floor, most ceilings are 90 to 96 inches in height.

for that span, the joists in that ceiling will be 2x10 at a minimum, using a 12" overhang on both sides, your total roof width would be 42' and going with a modest 4/12 pitch, the height of that roof would be 1/3 of half that width or 7'.

Add that 7 feet roof height to your 8 feet living space height and your total house height would be;

15 feet
the average height of a house as of today is an estimate of around 5 698.334 inches tall

Answer 2

A 1.5 storey house is when the wall on the 2nd storey meet the roof line about 2/3 way down the wall. To compensate for this knee walls are built 3 or so feet in to give less of a slope to the roof line.

Answer 3

The general architectural term is "single-level home" or "single-level residence."

At one time, so-called "split level" homes were popular. There was no second story, just a step or more down (or more rarely a step or more up) within the home itself.
