This captivating home design draws inspiration from heritage houses, seamlessly blending charm with luxury across its units. Featuring a duplex carriage house equipped with four garage stalls, it is tailored for lane access while remaining adaptable for corner lots.
The front structure cleverly utilizes space by sinking the bottom level a few steps down and integrating the top storey into the roof, creating a visually appealing three-storey facade. Unit 3 stands out for its spaciousness and can be customized for full accessibility if desired. Each unit also boasts private patio or deck space, enhancing the overall appeal and functionality.
The proposed floor space ratios (FSR) are 0.92 on a 50×125’ lot and 0.76 on a 60×145’ lot, showcasing efficient use of space. In total, the design accommodates 14 bedrooms, ensuring ample room for residents.

The proposed floor space ratios (FSR) are 1.11 on a 33×100’ lot and 0.73 on a 50×100’ lot, showcasing efficient land usage while maintaining livability and functionality.
