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…
  • Planning a rental or investment property — the duplex layout maximizes occupancy and revenue per lot (1,781 sq ft per mirror-image unit)
  • Working with a dense urban lot (56 feet wide, 31 feet 8 inches deep footprint)
  • Need multiple independent living units with separate entries and garages (2-car garage per unit)
  • Want contemporary aesthetics with efficient multi-level design (three-story duplex with 4:12 roof pitch)
  • Seeking multigenerational living — each unit is independent with full kitchen, bedrooms, and bathrooms
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need a single-family home — this is a duplex with two mirror-image units sharing one footprint
  • Prefer ground-level accessibility for mobility concerns — primary suites are on the upper level of each unit
  • Want a traditional exterior style — this is a contemporary design
  • Looking for a large single home — each unit is 1,781 sq ft, not one cohesive residence

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Contemporary Duplex with Mirrored Units and Dual Garages

The Julian Twin is a contemporary duplex house plan offering 3,562 square feet of total heated living space—1,781 square feet per mirror-image unit. Optimized for urban lots at 56 feet wide by 31 feet 8 inches deep, this three-story design maximizes site coverage while maintaining a modern 4:12 roof pitch aesthetic.

Each unit features an open-concept main living level with nine-foot ceilings, integrating kitchen, dinette, and family room. A central kitchen island with eating bar anchors circulation, while a powder room serves guests. The lower level of each unit provides 658 square feet of finished space, including a private bedroom and bathroom suitable for a home office or guest accommodations. The upper level houses the primary suite with private bathroom and walk-in closet, plus a second bedroom with en-suite bathroom.

Laundry facilities on the second floor minimize travel between sleeping and utility areas. Each unit includes a 2-car front-load garage (890 square feet total per duplex), and 92 square feet of porch space frames each entry. Built with 8-foot ceiling heights on the second floor to balance comfort and efficiency, the slab foundation supports this efficient duplex configuration.

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.
