Residential Semidetached Edifice
Client-Specific Design with Commercial Flexibility
At Cadright Architecture, every client’s brief is an opportunity to craft not just a building, but a solution. This residential edifice, designed to meet the exacting requirements of a private client, strikes a balance between comfortable living, commercial adaptability, and sustainability-readiness.
Designed as a semidetached structure, this project is optimized for dual occupancy, potential rental income, and low-maintenance shared zoning, all while maintaining a high standard of privacy, spatial fluidity, and smart functionality.
Project Overview
- Project Title: Custom Residential Semidetached Edifice
- Location: Confidential
- Project Type: Residential (Semi-detached, Commercially Friendly)
- Client Type: Private Individual
- Services Rendered: Full Architectural Design
- Status: Design Completed
Designed to Specification, Built for Versatility
Our client envisioned a structure that would be:
- Perfect for family living
- Adaptable for rental or commercial purposes
- Responsive to site constraints and neighborhood trends
We responded with:
- Two mirrored units with independent access points
- Open floor planning for shared/common zones
- Maximum window placements for light and airflow
- A design framework that supports either residential use or office conversion
This approach empowers the client with future-use flexibility and long-term real estate value.
Passive Design & Energy Mindfulness
While the design meets functional demands, it also reflects Cadright’s sustainability ethos:
- Cross-ventilation paths for each unit
- Natural lighting in all primary spaces
- Eave protection and roof pitch optimized for climate
- Envelope designed for thermal comfort and solar-readiness
The structure can support eco-friendly upgrades over time, reducing utility dependencies and costs.
