With each unit measuring just 12 feet wide, the 21st century townhouse is an ideal infill. Or construct several units to create a modular complex like no other.
This plan could be used for a narrow lot application such as infill housing or as townhomes when set in multiples. The small footprint allows 1,320 square feet of living space to be compacted on a lot of only 12’0” x 40’0”.
A spacious deck off the master suite helps to bring the outdoors in and makes the space feel much larger. A more traditional residential style roof helps to reduce the scale of the front façade and give it a more traditional residential look.
The open design of the first floor allows natural light to penetrate deep into the interior of the home. Architectural features such as the arch and column details between the kitchen and dining room create a warm, comfortable space. The third floor master suite features a large walk-in closet and a private deck.

# BEDROOMS: 3
# BATHROOMS: 3

I really line this design of the town house. My concern is if was done as stand alone sigle unit, is there enough solid wall on the front to meet the new high wind requirements? I build most of my homes on superior walls and I am afraid the placement of the straps would interfere with the door and window placement. Do you consider any of this in the initial designs?
