An Art Deco duplex house refers to a type of residential building that incorporates the Art Deco architectural style. Art Deco emerged in the 1920s and 1930s and was characterized by its bold geometric shapes, clean lines, and decorative elements.
In the context of a duplex house, it means that the building consists of two separate living units, usually side by side or on different floors. Each unit has its own entrance and may have similar or different layouts. Art Deco duplex houses often showcase the distinct features of the architectural style, such as symmetrical façades, streamlined forms, decorative motifs, and the use of materials like concrete, steel, and glass.
Inside the duplex units, Art Deco design elements may include geometric wall paneling, stepped ceilings, curved or angular furniture, decorative lighting fixtures, and unique patterns on floors and walls. The overall aesthetic of an Art Deco duplex house is characterized by elegance, glamour, and a sense of modernity that was prevalent in the early 20th century.
