Modern Luxe Two-Storey Residence

By Ar. Wynne May S. Reaño, Uap

A 2-storey residential building is a private dwelling designed to accommodate a family’s daily living needs across two functional levels. The ground floor typically houses the main common areas such as the living room, dining area, kitchen, service spaces, and at least one guest or flexible-use room, allowing easy access and efficient circulation. The second floor is generally dedicated to private spaces including bedrooms, bathrooms, and a family lounge, providing comfort, privacy, and separation from public areas. The structure is planned to maximize natural light, ventilation, and space efficiency while maintaining safety and durability through reinforced construction and compliant building systems. Design considerations often include site orientation, climate response, storage integration, and future expansion options. The overall architectural character may range from modern to traditional, depending on the client’s preference, budget, and site context.
