Acton Duo

This reverse-pie shaped lot was too large for a single family home, but awkwardly narrow at the back to be subdivided, yet that’s what I managed to pull off. These two homes take full advantage of their wide frontage, with an attached double garage, wide front entry door, and expansive windows. However, as the lot tapers toward the back, these homes step down toward the master suite.

While each home takes inspiration from the other, they are entirely different floor plans. My personal favourite is #1636, which features an interlocking (non-stacked) stairwell at the front foyer, but both make the most out of their odd shapes by opening up the social spaces and tightening toward the private rooms at the rear.
