Abstract:

In one aspect of the invention, a multi-tenant dwelling creates the illusion of a single tenant dwelling when viewed from an associated thoroughfare. In one embodiment, the dwelling includes a generally T-shaped structure with three discrete units, each having a separate exterior walk-through entrance. Preferably, only one of these entrances is in the front facade and fully exposed to the thoroughfare (or rather, two of the entrances are obscured), which thus gives the appearance of a single tenant structure when in fact the dwelling is adapted for simultaneously housing three different tenants. In addition to a subdivision comprised of many such dwellings, plans, instructions, methods, and kits for forming such a dwelling are also disclosed, as is a dwelling in which two generally perpendicular upstanding interior walls together separate three discrete living units.
