5 Unique Features of Nigerian Duplex Design

Here are 5 unique features of Nigerian duplex design that are not common with those found in other countries. We had earlier written on the differences between Nigerian-designed duplexes and foreign ones; you can read that here.

But in this article, we are specifically highlighting features unique to Ngierian duplex architectural designs.

1. Multiple floors

The Nigerian duplex must have at least 2 floors. This is similar to what obtains in the UK, where their duplexes are 2 floors, only that other differences exist. In Australia and other countries however, duplexes can have just the ground floor. Also, in India, it is double floors.

2. Designed for single occupant

In Nigeria, the duplex is usually designed for just one occupant. If it is built as a home, it would be for one family. The commercial one would be for just one business. In the foreign traditional sense, a duplex is built for 2 occupants.

3. Internal staircase

One of the key features unique to the Nigerian duplex design is the position of the staircase. It is usually within the building and not on the exterior. This design allows members of the occupant family or business to be able to go from the ground floor to the top floor(s) and back without exiting the building.

4. Layout of rooms

For most Nigerian duplex designs, the kitchen would be on the ground floor with the pantry and other stores and the garage along with the major living room or parlour. Also, the bedrooms would be on the top floor.

5. Size of built area

Because of the number of rooms with the potential number of occupants, the duplex may have to be built within a larger compound, especially to accommodate multiple vehicles belonging to the occupants. But the building itself can be built on a smaller space than some bungalows would.
