Each unit has three bedrooms, its own living room and foyer, and independent access to terraces and stairs, with 1305 and 1356 square feet of living space respectively. The plan includes a back to back closet wall for sound control and options for brick veneer or masonry, suited to compact plots and varied local zoning.
