Urban environments have made the commercial-space-on-bottom, residential-space-on-top design a common denominator on many city streets – but why not try it using modular construction?

Designed for a narrow lot application, this product can be set with as little as 16 inches between buildings. Combinations could include two-story residential structures, a two-story commercial space, or a three-story combination structure with commercial on the first floor and residential space on the upper two floors.

The commercial space can be left open with only the stair, the bathrooms and minimal structure for future tenants, or customized to fit the needs of a known tenant.

The residential space features a two-story living space with skylights to bring natural light deep into the structure. Variations include a three bedroom version with a third floor loft or a two bedroom version with a formal third floor dining space that overlooks the dining room.
