Is this the right plan for you?

Most regret comes from buying a plan that doesn't fit your life. Skim this before you decide.

Great fit if you…
  • Working with a narrow urban lot under 45 feet wide (design is 42 ft wide)
  • Need a multi-generational layout with a first-floor bedroom and office (self-contained first-floor zone)
  • Seeking a work-from-home setup with private entry and full bath (private first-floor office)
  • Want maximum square footage within a tight footprint (3,110 sq ft on 42 ft × 45 ft lot)
  • Require multiple full bathrooms for busy households (4 full, 2 half baths)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Prefer a single-story layout (two-story configuration only)
  • Need extensive garage space (2-car garage; no oversized storage)
  • Have a lot wider than 50 feet (design optimized for narrow 42-foot width)
  • Want a rustic or traditional aesthetic (contemporary duplex style only)
  • Dislike multi-kitchen designs or prefer a single central kitchen (dual kitchens on second floor)

About this plan

Modern Duplex for Urban Infill and Multi-Generational Living

This 3,110-square-foot duplex is engineered for dense, narrow urban infill lots at just 42 feet wide and 45 feet deep. The two-story contemporary design reaches 25 feet 1 inch in height with a 6:12 roof pitch, maximizing square footage within compact boundaries. A 520-square-foot, 2-car front-load garage and covered front porch anchored by a mudroom entry establish the ground plane.

The first floor spans 1,350 square feet and features a private office, one bedroom, one full bathroom, and a mudroom—ideal for remote work or multi-generational separation. The second floor encompasses 1,760 square feet of open social and private space, centered on an expansive family room and a main kitchen. Dual layout options allow owners to prioritize either additional bedroom count or expanded entertainment and storage zones. A secondary kitchen, four full bathrooms, and two half baths support high-density occupancy. Consistent 9-foot ceiling heights on both floors maximize light and perceived volume.

  • 4 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, 2 half bathrooms, 3,110 sq ft
  • First-floor private office and bedroom with bath—ideal for multi-gen or remote work
  • Dual secondary kitchens and flexible second-floor layouts
  • Compact 42-foot width for urban infill properties
  • 2-car garage and covered entry

We compared three plan sources and Archival's pricing + free design call won us over. Our builder said the construction docs were the cleanest he'd seen.
