Phrase in context:
"Nybyggnation av enfamiljshus i två plan. Utmaningen bestod i att maximera boytan på en minimal bruttoarea och samtidigt skapa ett hus som både samspelar
med sin omgivning och står sig som en solitär. Denna gång valde jag att arbeta skulpturalt i sten, från en i plan helt kvadratisk form."

Selected
from a shape which is completely square on the horizontal
(The point is that it is square horizontally but not necessarily vertically.)

(Also, two different floors might not have the same dimensions, although if the author had intended to say this he probably would have said it explicitly.)

completely square plan
on a completely square plan
-- or a perfectly square plan
Not my field of specialisation, admittedly, but as I understand it, this means that the plan on the ground was completely square - no odd angles, porches, bay windows etc.
Th architect could then design his building ´sculpturally´ from there.
(Reminds me of the discussions about an art gallery in Århus, which was quite controversial when it was built. That is square or cubic, and was called ´sculptural´ among other things.)
