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 investment property (two independent 1,120 sq ft units with 6 total bedrooms, 4 total baths)
  • Seeking rental income or multi-generational housing (fully separate units with independent kitchens and laundry)
  • Want each unit to include a 2-car garage and first-floor master (all features duplicated per side)
  • Need efficient lot coverage for two households (48 ft by 59 ft total footprint)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Looking for a single-family residence—this is a duplex with two units sharing one structure
  • Need 5+ bedrooms in one private home—each unit has 3 bedrooms only
  • Want a basement—no basement option listed
  • Require a one-story home with more than 1,120 sq ft per unit—each unit is limited to that footprint

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Duplex with Open Layout and Independent Units

This 2,240 sq ft duplex comprises two identical, independent units, each offering 1,120 sq ft of heated living space, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a 1-car garage. Designed for multi-family or investment applications, the plan fits efficiently within a 48 ft by 59 ft footprint while maintaining separate entrances and complete autonomy for each unit.

Each unit features an open-concept core that merges the kitchen, breakfast area, and living space, anchored by a central kitchen island. The first-floor master suite includes a private bath and walk-in closet, while a walk-in pantry and first-floor laundry serve each unit independently. Nine-foot ceiling heights throughout maximize interior volume and natural light, creating an inviting social zone in each compact floor plate.

A shared 462 sq ft, front-load garage accommodates one vehicle per unit, while each dwelling includes a 30 sq ft covered front porch. The 6:12 roof pitch and 21 ft 6 in maximum height maintain a residential aesthetic suitable for zoning compliance. This duplex excels as an investment property, multi-generational housing, or primary residence with rental income potential.

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.
