"The Garden Villa Duplex is a prime example of how to create a warm, livable, and supremely inviting environment while utilizing modern and minimal ideals. The duplex is a direct result of its large, unique site. The lot is especially long and dotted with beautiful mature trees, largely informing and shaping the spaces and openings in the building. The duplexes are centered on a large interior courtyard because of a large ash tree that was located in the center of the lot. The courtyard is surrounded by sliding glass doors and large windows in each unit, and the units are separated by a custom designed metal privacy fence. The duplex also features many smart considerations often lacking in other multi-unit projects. Special care was given to providing the maximum amount of privacy to each of the units- windows were positioned so that there are no direct site lines next door, and the shared wall between the duplexes were designed adjacent to more public spaces. By using high quality interior finishes and site specific designs, the Garden Villa duplex is a truly unique and must-see modern project." -Modern Home Tours
