The new home BOOM … Duplex flats with two storey lounge

Posted on the 12th of May 2014

A duplex house is a dwelling having apartments with separate entrances for two households. This includes two-story houses having a complete apartment on each floor and also side-by-side apartments on a single lot that share a common wall. By contrast, a building comprising two attached units on two distinct properties is typically considered semi-detached or twin homes but may also be referred to as a duplex.

The term “duplex” can also be extended to three-unit and four-unit buildings, or they can be referred to with specific terms such as triplex and fourplex or quadplex/quadruplex. Because of the flexibility of the term, the line between an apartment building and a duplex is somewhat blurred, with apartment buildings tending to be bigger, while duplexes are usually the size of a normal house.

Duplex homes can offer flexible living and feeling of space.. most with two storey lounge areas or double height reception entrances add depth and bring light into one’s home, feature chandeliers or focal points work well in these environments and can be maintained effectively with REEL TECH Remote lighting lifts.
