How Much House Design Costs for a 150–200 m² Home
A private house usually needs two things: an architectural design (from $40/m²) and an interior design (from $60/m²). For a 150–200 m² house that is roughly $6,000–8,000 for the architecture and $9,000–12,000 for the interior. Let us break down exactly what you are paying for.
The two components of a house design price
Designing the house itself and designing its interior are different jobs, and you can commission them together or separately:
| Service | Price | 150 m² house | 200 m² house |
|---|---|---|---|
| Architectural design | from $40 / m² | from $6,000 | from $8,000 |
| Interior design | from $60 / m² | from $9,000 | from $12,000 |
The architectural design covers everything from the first sketch to the building permit: siting on the plot, layouts, facades, structural concept. The interior design shapes the house from the inside: room layouts, materials, lighting, furniture.
What determines the cost
- Floor area and number of storeys.
- Architectural complexity — the terrain of the plot, the form of the house, panoramic glazing.
- Depth of the interior design — the number of visualizations, custom-made furniture.
- Whether you need author supervision during construction ($800/month).
Frequently asked questions
How much does a design for a 200 m² house cost?
Architectural design for a 200 m² house starts from $8,000 (from $40/m²), and interior design from $12,000 (from $60/m²). The services can be commissioned together or separately.
