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…
  • Want to generate rental income with a duplex configuration on a narrow lot (3-story, 36 ft wide, 64 ft deep)
  • Need multi-generational housing with two independent living units (split-unit layout with separate entries)
  • Have a narrow lot and want to maximize density — this design is engineered for tight width constraints (36 ft wide)
  • Love contemporary architecture with lots of natural light (expansive glass-front elevations)
  • Need parking for multiple vehicles — the plan accommodates 3 cars (1,041 sq ft total garage)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Want a single-family home — this is a duplex with two independent units requiring separate ownership or management
  • Require a private, established neighborhood feel — duplex styling and multi-unit zoning may not fit traditional single-family communities
  • Prefer a modest footprint to reduce build costs (3,878 total sq ft is substantial for a narrow lot)
  • Need ground-floor bedrooms for accessibility — sleeping quarters are on upper levels

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Contemporary Duplex for Multi-Unit Living

This 3,878 square foot contemporary duplex spans three stories on a narrow 36 feet by 64 feet footprint, designed for rental income, multi-generational housing, or independent dual-unit living. Each unit operates independently with its own entry, kitchen, and living spaces. The glass-front elevation floods both units with natural light while creating a striking modern aesthetic at 40 feet 3 inches in height.

The main level encompasses 1,649 square feet of heated area per unit, with 10-foot ceilings, a fireplace, and open-concept great room. Each unit includes a mudroom entry and direct access to outdoor patio space totaling 214 square feet across both units. The second level spans 1,770 square feet of private sleeping quarters, featuring master suites with private balconies and 9-foot ceiling heights.

Flexible loft spaces on the upper floors provide additional living zones, keeping sleeping areas distinct from higher-traffic zones. The structure utilizes 2x6 exterior wall framing and truss roof assembly on a slab foundation, with a hybrid 4.5:12 and 2:12 roof pitch. A combined 3-car garage — including a single-car bay for Unit A and a two-car tandem garage for Unit B — totals 1,041 square feet and provides substantial parking and storage capacity.

  • Dual-unit configuration for rental income or multi-generational living
  • Glass-front elevation and 10-foot main-level ceilings
  • 3-car total garage capacity (1,041 sq ft)
  • Loft spaces for flexible use
  • Private balconies on second floor
