Leichhardt Duplex

Designed with a modern aesthetic and nearly identical in form, this contemporary dual-occupancy residence offers the perfect blend of privacy and openness. Despite their close proximity, each home is carefully planned to create the feeling of a standalone residence, with individual private entrances that enhance the sense of exclusivity. The design prioritizes both functionality and comfort, ensuring a spacious and airy atmosphere that adapts seamlessly to modern family living.

Each home is meticulously arranged to maximize natural ventilation and light, with openings strategically placed at both ends to allow for cross-ventilation and unobstructed views from one side of the residence to the other. This thoughtful planning not only enhances the indoor climate but also strengthens the connection between the interiors and the surrounding environment.

A key design element is the integration of greenery throughout the property. Wherever possible, trees and lush landscaping are placed at the corners, both inside and outside the homes, serving as natural cooling elements that reduce heat radiation, improve air quality, and create a calming retreat. These pockets of greenery contribute to the overall sense of tranquility, making the residences feel like serene sanctuaries amidst the urban fabric.

The ground floor layout is designed for maximum connectivity, ensuring fluid movement between indoor and outdoor spaces. This open-plan arrangement fosters interaction, making it an ideal setting for families with young children, allowing them to play and move freely throughout the home. The main entryway opens up to a striking full-height glazed wall, offering a direct view of the pool beyond—a stunning focal point that enhances the feeling of space and luxury.

By seamlessly blending modern architectural principles with natural elements, this dual-occupancy residence exemplifies SN Architects’ commitment to designing homes that are both aesthetically refined and deeply functional, delivering a contemporary yet inviting living experience.
