Hello everyone,
I saw a perfect duplex solution in Switzerland and wonder why this design isn’t more common... what could be the reason?
The two houses are not directly attached but stand about 2m (6.5 feet) apart, creating a passageway. Of course, there are no windows on the passage side. BUT: each has its front door facing each other. The passageway thus serves as the main entrance for both houses. The connection between the two houses is formed by the roof covering the passage/entrance area. This way, no land is wasted, and the design is simply clever. Advantage: each owner has their own detached house and therefore not just three private walls...

@nordanney: The entrance is 2 meters (6.6 feet) wide because there is 1 meter (3.3 feet) on each side. And no one looks at the wall, since the two windowless walls are opposite each other.

It’s better to have 3 m (10 ft) distance for each property (detached buildings) and a view THROUGH the window to the neighbor.N
