The duplex design is a budget comfortable country house, usually divided into two autonomous parts by common wall. In other words, it is a house with two apartments with two independent entrances. It is interesting that in different parts of the world (and even in different cities of one country) the concept “duplex” has different meanings. This Nigerian house plan design style is the best choice if your neighbours will be your parents, relatives or friends. Most often, duplex is a two-storey building. Much rarer, there are three-storey beautiful duplex house plans in Nigeria. In rare cases, duplexes may have one shared entrance hall (not two separate ones). This option is ideal for a large and happy family that likes to meet for family dinners, and the rest of the time is for preserving their personal space. As a rule, on the ground floor of each section, there is a kitchen, a dining room is often combined with living room, bathroom, and utility room. On the second, there is a bathroom and several bedrooms.
