Have you ever encountered a stacked duplex designed for a corner lot where the units face opposite directions? One facing forward, one facing "backwards," so to speak. Each of the two units has an attached double garage, stacked, again in opposite directions. The garages are level w their respective units. The lower duplex unit is a walk-out, facing the backyard, with its driveway originating from the side street and curving to the tucked under garage. The upper duplex unit faces the front yard w a straight driveway to the street. Neither unit has a staircase (disappointing to you, I'm sure), which is attractive to the elderly or disabled. As w any house w a walkout basement, the grounds are 2 tiered, providing residents of either unit their own level yard. Greg, with your years working with housing, have you seen such a duplex? If so, any opinions?
to be honest I would leave the center unit open as an open Livingroom/kitchen/dinning room to be shared by the two side units, which would each have three bedrooms and a bathroom/wetroom.
Use ICF so the sound is mitigated to nearly zero. Great video. 👍
Great video and good point about standardizing materials

Is there a way we can acquire your blue prints of this building design? Thank you
Thank you for sharing very practical suggestions.
You're welcome and thanks for watching.
@@gregvancom what do you charge to provide me with these blueprints? How do I get a hold of you?
Great video! I might be designing my first multi unit apartment building soon. I have only done single family residential homes. Any advice?
Watch more design videos!!!!
Good reminder to avoid placing public and private spaces back-to-back.
Approximately how much did it cost? Not including the land. Thanks
