A contemporary duplex with elegant architectural design
This contemporary duplex plan, featuring a single-car garage, offers a residential design that blends modern aesthetics, functionality, and optimized living space. With a stated floor area of 1,256 sq. ft., this building—measuring 39 feet wide by 37 feet deep—stands out for its refined architecture and a layout distributed between the ground floor and a fully finished basement.
Its exterior, characterized primarily by wood siding, masonry accents, and a pitched roof, creates a warm architectural composition. Generous openings, clean lines, and well-proportioned volumes enhance its contemporary character while allowing the building to integrate seamlessly into either a residential or natural setting.
A bright and functional ground floor
The main unit occupies the ground floor, featuring an interior layout designed to facilitate movement and maximize everyday comfort.
The open-concept living area brings together an inviting living room, a welcoming dining area, and a functional kitchen. The kitchen includes a central island with seating, providing extra preparation space and an ideal spot for quick meals.
Two bedrooms are located on this level. The primary bedroom features direct access to a walk-in closet, while the second bedroom includes built-in storage.
A spacious bathroom completes the layout, equipped with a freestanding bathtub, a separate shower, and a double-sink vanity. A laundry area is also conveniently located nearby.
The single-car garage, integrated into the building, offers a practical solution for parking and storage. A separate vestibule provides entry to the home, serving as a functional transition between the outdoors and the interior living spaces. A Second Dwelling Unit in the Basement
One of the key advantages of this contemporary duplex plan—which includes a single-car garage—is its finished basement, designed to accommodate a second, self-contained dwelling unit.
This living space features its own kitchen, dining area, and living room, all arranged within an open-plan common area. The kitchen includes a counter with seating and storage space tailored for daily needs.
The lower unit also offers two bedrooms, bringing the total capacity of the duplex to four bedrooms.
A full bathroom with a shower, a mechanical and laundry area, and a storage room complete the layout.
An independent exterior entrance facilitates movement for the occupants and helps maintain privacy for each residential unit.
Architecture suited for a sloped lot
This contemporary duplex features a configuration particularly well-suited for a sloped lot, which allows for a portion of the basement to be exposed above grade.
At the rear, an elevated deck—accessible from the ground floor—creates a pleasant outdoor space. Its post-supported structure also creates a sheltered area on the level below.
Windows in the basement allow natural light to enter the second unit, while the ground-floor windows ensure a bright interior atmosphere.
The poured-concrete foundation provides a solid structural base for this residential configuration, subject to site conditions and applicable building requirements.
A versatile duplex plan for various residential projects
This contemporary duplex plan with a single-car garage is an excellent solution for multi-generational living, an income-generating property, or any residential project requiring two distinct units.
With its four bedrooms, two bathrooms, integrated garage, and independent living spaces, it is well-suited to a variety of occupancy needs. Its contemporary architecture, complementary exterior materials, and efficient interior layout make it a residential model that combines comfort, versatility, and quality of design.
CONSTRUCTION COSTS

PLAN DETAILS:
When you purchase construction plans, they include the following elements:
. Elevations
. Floor plans
. Roof plans
. Technical details
With these plans, you will be able to apply for a building permit from your municipality, obtain quotes from local contractors, and proceed with the construction of the house—either by hiring a contractor or by managing the build yourself (owner-builder).
Please note that every city or municipality has its own zoning and urban planning regulations. It is your responsibility to ensure that the dimensions and features comply with permit requirements and adhere to your municipality’s specific zoning standards (such as setbacks or coverage percentages). It is always possible to have the plans modified to meet the requirements of your local area.
LIST OF MATERIALS
The plans purchased online do not include a materials list, as this must be customized based on your specific choices. If you would like to obtain a complete materials list, you can select the corresponding option when purchasing your plans, and one of our professionals will be happy to work with you on this.
CONSTRUCTION DETAILS:
All new home plans are sold with a construction details sheet based on standard specifications, including poured concrete foundations and technical details for typical wall sections (in compliance with current energy-efficiency standards).
COMPLIANCE AND RESPONSIBILITY:
It is the buyer’s responsibility to verify with their municipality the applicable siting and construction standards. Additional costs may apply for any required modifications.
COPYRIGHT AND USE OF PLANS:
Whether in paper or PDF format, the plans you purchase are protected by copyright law. Purchasing these plans authorizes you to build only one (1) house for your own use; you may not sell, modify, or copy the plans. Please contact Plan Maison Québec regarding any modifications to your construction plans.
