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…
  • Building a duplex or multi-family rental income property (2,048 sq ft per unit, designed for high-density residential)
  • Working with a standard urban or suburban infill lot (54 ft wide by 50 ft deep)
  • Want a second-floor primary suite with private bathroom and walk-in closet for owners or long-term renters
  • Need flexible guest or secondary bedrooms with en-suite access (front-facing bedroom with full bathroom)
  • Seeking open living on the main floor with a kitchen island and walk-in pantry (819 sq ft first level, 9-foot ceilings)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need a single-family home without shared walls or duplex configuration
  • Want a main-floor primary suite — the master bedroom is on the second floor
  • Require a three-car garage — this plan has only 2 bays per unit
  • Prefer a single-story layout — this is a two-story design with stairs to all bedrooms

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Modern Duplex for Infill Development

This modern duplex home plan spans 2,048 square feet per unit across two stories on a compact 54-foot by 50-foot footprint, engineered for high-density residential infill. Each unit offers 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, with a clean architectural profile defined by a 3:12 roof pitch and 23-foot 6-inch building height.

The main floor centers on an 819-square-foot open-concept living core with 9-foot ceilings. The kitchen features a central island and walk-in pantry with direct sightlines to the dining area. A half bathroom serves the entry, while the integrated 2-car garage (410 square feet) keeps the front elevation clear. The rear porch (77 square feet) provides outdoor access.

Upstairs, the 1,229-square-foot second level contains the primary suite at the rear with a walk-in closet and private bathroom, a front-facing secondary bedroom with en-suite bath, two additional bedrooms sharing a full hall bath, and a central TV alcove for remote work or study.

  • Open-concept main level with 9-foot ceilings

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.
