What does duplex room mean?

Duplex residence generally refers to adding a mezzanine on the basis of the original floor as a bedroom or study, and connecting the upper and lower units with stairs. Generally speaking, the height of this kind of house is higher than that of ordinary houses (generally 2.8 meters high), and it is not two different floor units.

Duplex houses are classified according to market changes and demands, such as penthouse houses (strictly speaking, duplex apartments). Occupy the upper and lower floors, each floor has enough space height) The core of traditional duplex houses belongs to the above-mentioned units, and the mezzanine can be designed locally.

In addition, there are many kinds, such as the superposition of small houses (this kind of house is separated in the middle of a high-rise one-bedroom to form two spaces) and the attic at the top (the top is inclined and presents a triangular sharp corner shape).

Disadvantages of duplex rooms:

1. The duplex residence has a wide area and a small depth. If the indoor plane combination is adopted, it will inevitably lead to poor orientation of some units and poor natural lighting.

2. The floor height is too low. For example, the kitchen is only 2 meters high, which will easily lead to discomfort in long-term use. Although the storeroom is large, its height is only 1.2m, so it is difficult to make full use of it.

3. The partition floors are all thin boards, which leads to high wood cost, poor sound insulation and fire prevention functions, and poor room privacy and safety.
