Duplex & Residential-1

Situated in the rapidly expanding suburban belt of Gazipur near Uttara, the Dr. Syed Ahsanul Hoque Duplex Residence stands as a prime example of modern tropical architecture tailored for contemporary Bangladeshi family living. Designed and executed by Shellmark Limited, this 3,200-square-foot duplex balances privacy, space efficiency, and environmental sustainability.

Zoning & Layout Strategy

The floor plan follows a strict functional zoning layout to maximize comfort and security:

• Ground Floor (Public & Service Zone): Features a grand entry foyer, a formal drawing area for receiving guests, a common dining hall, a fully equipped modern kitchen, and staff service quarters. Restricting guest movement to this level protects the privacy of the family.

• First Floor (Private Family Zone): Comprises the master suite, additional family bedrooms, a private living lounge, a study room, and prayer space, creating a secure and tranquil family retreat away from ground-floor activity.

Architectural & Material Features

• Internal Vertical Flow: The two floors are seamlessly linked by an elegant, central cantilevered staircase featuring tempered safety glass railings and solid hardwood treads.

• Daylighting & Ventilation: Expansive floor-to-ceiling double-glazed windows ensure maximum natural illumination while minimizing heat transfer—vital for tropical climates.

• Façade & Structural Elements: Vertical architectural fins and pergolas enhance the exterior elevation, providing passive solar shading alongside weather-coat protective finishes.

• Interior Finishes: Outfitted with energy-efficient LED cove lighting, Italian marble and tiles flooring, and concealed MEP utility systems.
