Landmark Homes duplex designs combine beautiful living spaces with a compact footprint to provide relaxed, contemporary living at its very best.
Explore our easy living 2 storey duplex plans – where luxury meets affordability
Our 2 storey duplex plans are designed for a relaxed and comfortable lock-up and leave, low maintenance lifestyle. Offering the best of both worlds – a smaller section that needs minimal maintenance, but a home that is still luxurious and spacious – duplex house designs cater to a range of lifestyle needs – from holidaymakers and extended families to those looking to downsize.
A duplex design provides a great option for active retirees to enjoy a high-end forever home within a vibrant community, and with financial benefits not available from a traditional retirement home setting. Landmark Home’s plans are all about easy living and comfort, but of course homeowners can adapt the plans to suit their individual needs – there’s even the option to add a lift.
If you’re looking for that perfect blend of low maintenance, relaxed living without the hefty price tag, we invite you to explore some of our popular plans.

SEE THIS PLAN IN ACTION
Duplex living has proven to be so popular in the last year, that recently the Landmark Homes’ Taupō franchise built the Rangitoto plan to showcase what’s possible and the Auckland South-East Franklin are opening their version this coming May.
Located in Taupō’s new Ngā Roto Estate, the Taupō Showhome is the second unit in a development of three. With an exterior of bold black vertical cladding contrasted by white brick, the home makes a strong first impression and offers a hint of the impeccable quality awaiting within. As you walk through the front door and into the entranceway, the light and contemporary décor creates a sense of welcoming calm. The layout allows for teens or extended family to enjoy their own space on the lower level. On the upper level, luxury meets practicality with a well-appointed kitchen, a generously sized master suite, underfloor heating in the ensuite and family bathroom, and a Rinnai Linear 1000 fireplace in the living area. With an abundance of floorspace, there’s the option for homeowners to move the interior walls around to make the layout better or to suit individual needs.
