A few years back we had reason to create a first ever two-family home with shared main living spaces, featured in this blog post.
Co-living Gains Traction
As more and more families work to adapt to challenging economic and real estate conditions, shared living or co-living arrangements for families is coming into its own.
A few years back we created a great design for two families to live in a single dwelling, with a focus on shared living spaces and private bedrooms, bathrooms, and “away space”.
The Frontenac was the resulting plan, and in 2023 we’re pleased to roll out two versions of this plan: the original two-family version, and a new single family version. We also have bang up to date cost analysis documents for building with either.
Shown here is the ground floor of the two family plan, featuring a large and airy shared great room with dining area, kitchen, entryway, powder room and laundry / utility room.
Also situated on either side of the ground floor are two comfortable living rooms for each family to enjoy “away time”, and a bedroom is paired next to each.
Upstairs is a shared “hang out” space in an open loft area, and each family has its own side with master bedroom, walk in closet, and ensuite bathroom.
