Although it is most important to decide the territory distribution in a houseing plan, there are few statistical data about this point. Therefore, we have researched the territory distribution in the detached house based on the 516 cases inserted in the architectural magazines for the past 11 years. As a result, it was found that, with decreasing the total territory in the detached house, the distribution of the living/dining/kitchen, the parent and the child rooms were increased. In contrast, the distribution of the storage and the circulation spaces were decreased. In average, the living/dining/kitchen, parent/child, storage, and circulation spaces accounted for 20〜30%, 20%, a little below 10%, and a little over 15%, respectively, compared to the total territory in the detached house.
