Architecture Site Plan: Complete Guide + Free Generator

What is an Architecture Site Plan?

An architecture site plan is a scaled drawing showing the horizontal arrangement of a building project and its surrounding context. It communicates the relationship between new construction and existing conditions.

Essential Elements of Site Plans

Site boundary provides clear demarcation of project limits. Building footprints show the representation of all structures. Access and circulation illustrate movement patterns including roads and pedestrian paths. Landscape elements cover natural and designed features. Topography shows ground level information with contour lines.

Common Site Plan Scales

Scale 1:100 is used for detailed design work. Scale 1:500 suits planning applications. Scale 1:1000 works well for context plans showing broader area.

Creating Your Site Plan

Start by generating an accurate base map from ArchiKEK with buildings and roads. Export to SVG or DXF format. Add your design on top of the base. Style and annotate as needed for your presentation.

Tips for Effective Site Plans

Always include a north arrow and scale bar. Show existing conditions clearly differentiated from proposed. Include relevant context beyond your site boundary. Use consistent line weights and symbols throughout.
