Free 6 Bedroom Duplex House Plan – Modern Dual Living Design

Free 6 Bedroom Duplex House Plan – Modern Dual Living Design

Looking for a spacious duplex house plan that could suit extended families, dual living or an investment development?

This week’s Ask the Builder – Free House Plan is our 272DU 6 Bedroom Duplex, a practical single-storey duplex design providing two separate three-bedroom homes under one roof.

You can download the FREE concept house plan PDF to explore the layout, discuss the project with your builder, compare building ideas and decide whether this style of duplex could suit your property.

Two Homes – One Practical Design

The 272DU has been designed as two adjoining residences, with each side providing its own private entrance, living areas, kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, garage and outdoor alfresco area.

Across the complete duplex, the design provides:

  • 6 Bedrooms – 3 per unit
  • 6 Bathrooms – private bathroom facilities to the bedrooms
  • 2 Kitchens
  • 2 Living / Lounge Areas
  • 2 Meals Areas
  • 2 Alfresco Areas
  • 2 Double Garages – 4 car spaces in total
  • Built-in robes and practical storage
  • Separate entrances for each residence
  • Single-storey layout

This arrangement makes the design worth considering for dual living, extended families, multi-generational households or investment properties, subject of course to your site and local planning requirements.

Duplex Size

The complete design has an approximate total area of 285.3 m² / 3,070 sq ft.

Overall Width: 22.69 m / 74' 5"
Overall Length: 13.0 m / 42' 8"

With the accommodation divided between two residences, the design provides substantial living space while maintaining separation between the households.

Why Download a Free Concept Plan?

After more than 50 years in the building industry, one thing I have always recommended is doing as much investigation as possible before spending heavily on final construction drawings.

A concept plan gives you something tangible to work with.

You can use this free duplex design to discuss ideas with builders, investigate approximate building costs, consider whether the building will fit your land and decide what changes you might want before proceeding further.

It can save considerable time compared with starting with a blank sheet of paper.

What Is Included in the Free Download?

The downloadable PDF provides a professional introduction to the 272DU design, including the floor plan, façade presentation, main design features, indicative room sizes, building areas and information about customising or upgrading the design.

The download is intended to help you explore the design and start planning your project.

Important – This Is a Concept Design

The free plan is not a site-specific construction or permit plan.

Before construction, the design will need to be reviewed and adapted as necessary for your particular property and local requirements. Items such as structural engineering, foundations, soil conditions, wind classification, energy requirements, bushfire requirements, setbacks and local building regulations can vary considerably from one property to another.

Want to Build the 272DU?

If this design suits your project, you can ask us about upgrading it to a Full Construction Plan Set.

Construction documentation can be developed from the concept design and prepared in considerably more detail for your project. Depending on your location, additional work by local engineers, certifiers, energy assessors or other licensed professionals may also be required.

Need to Change the Floor Plan?

You don't have to build the design exactly as shown.

If you like the general concept but need changes, simply send us your notes, sketch or marked-up copy of the floor plan.

We can customise the design to suit your requirements. Changes could include adjusting bedroom sizes, modifying bathrooms, changing the kitchen, altering garages or alfresco areas, or adapting the overall arrangement to better suit your site.
