Modern Duplex Extension Design
Budget: $10 – $50 USD
I’m ready to rethink my existing 30 x 40 duplex by merging the neighboring plot and adding an open, contemporary extension that still feels like part of the original home. The combined footprint comes to about 1,200 sq. ft., and I want the new build to flow naturally from the current structure while introducing a basement level for covered parking. ** The property is in South India Bangalore **
Key points for the concept
• Basement: a clean, efficient parking layout that makes the most of the underground square footage. I’m considering options such as integrated storage, potential EV-charging or bike space, but I’m happy to hear what you believe suits the plan best.
• Ground floor: seamless connection to the existing house with generous sight-lines, plenty of daylight, and a genuinely modern feel.
• Construction preference: Brick and concrete should drive the structural palette, yet the finished look must stay light and budget-friendly. Whether the aesthetic leans minimalist, Scandinavian, or even a touch industrial, I’m open to suggestions as long as the design remains cohesive and cost-conscious.
Deliverables I need to evaluate options
1. Concept floor plans for basement and ground levels
2. 3D exterior massing views that illustrate how the new form meets the existing duplex
3. A concise material and finish mood board highlighting the proposed brick-and-concrete approach
I’m still in the decision-making stage and will lock in a budget once the right concept appears, so this phase is all about creative yet practical ideas that respect construction costs. If you can balance modern style with sensible detailing, I’m eager to see what you propose.
