Printable paper house template generator.

✏️Front width and side depth describe the rectangular footprint. Wall height runs from the floor to the bottom of the sloping gable. Roof rise adds height above that wall line; it is not the length of the roof slope. The generator calculates that slope from half the front width and the rise, so both sides of the separate roof reach the gable edges. Changing the depth lengthens the side walls and roof together.

The wall strip includes an eight-millimetre end tab and lower glue tabs. Gable tabs support the roof, while the attached floor closes the base. These allowances sit outside the selected house dimensions. A large combination of width and depth may need A3 or a different orientation because all four walls remain on one connected strip. The editor does not silently reduce their scale. Use the printable ruler if you want another physical reference alongside the built-in fifty-millimetre check.

Solid outer lines indicate cutting, and dashed lines indicate folds. Keep every tab attached while cutting the outside boundary. The windows and door are printed decorations, so interior cutting is not required to assemble the house. Switch those details off when you want an empty facade for drawing. Colored artwork adds gentle fills; plain mode gives more freedom to decorate the walls before the folds make them harder to reach.

Crease the wall divisions and tabs first, then bring the four walls around into a rectangular loop. Glue the end tab inside the first wall. Fold the floor beneath the loop and attach the three lower tabs to it. Let that joint hold before handling the roof. A dry trial with the pieces resting together can reveal an accidental reversed fold or a tab tucked outside. The open box template offers a simpler related construction for practicing folds and tab placement.

📝Fold the roof along its centre ridge and rest it over the gables. Its front and back edges extend four millimetres beyond the walls; the side edges follow the calculated slope. Attach it to the sloping gable tabs after checking its alignment. Material thickness, the cut and the fold all affect the finished fit. These are calculated printable patterns; the editor does not certify a particular card stock, glue or completed physical assembly.

Print at actual size with the selected paper format and confirm the scale bar before cutting. PDF and Print include both sheets, whereas SVG and PNG export the selected page. Share preserves the dimensions, decoration and page selection for someone making the same model. The house is a paper toy, distinct from the baking panel patterns in the gingerbread house generator, which serve a different material and assembly task.
