BÉAcité semi-detached floor plans: bungalow, Duo cottage and Urbain model

A floor plan reads like a view of the house from above, with the roof lifted off. A few landmarks are all you need.

One plan per level

Each model has a plan for the ground floor, one for the upper floor if there is one, and one for the basement; the Duo cottage has one more for its optional mezzanine. The garage appears on the ground-floor plan, next to the entrance vestibule.

Two halves, two layouts

A semi-detached home shares one wall with its neighbour, so the plan shows both homes side by side. The words “standard” and “optionnel” under each half separate the base layout from a variant offered as an option. On the Duo cottage basement plan shown here, the standard half is unfinished, while the optional half has a family room, a bedroom and a bathroom.

Dimensions and areas

Under each room's name, its dimensions are given in feet and inches. In the corner of the plan, a box lists the area of each level and the total area; for the two-storey models, it also gives the living space.

The semi-detached bungalow ground-floor plan covers 1,006 sq ft. On the side opposite the garage, the living and dining rooms span the full width of the house along the windows; the kitchen with its island links them to the entrance vestibule. The primary bedroom, a bathroom, a powder room and the 294 sq ft garage complete the level.

The two halves of the plan show two ways to arrange the primary bedroom: one with a closet and a large bathroom, the other with a walk-in and a more compact bathroom. This is the plan to study if you want to avoid stairs day to day.

Under the bungalow, the basement repeats the ground-floor area: 1,006 sq ft. Its plan offers two layouts, both marked “optionnel”: a family room, one or two bedrooms, an office, a bathroom and a laundry room, plus a mechanical and storage room.

This level gives the bungalow the room of a larger house: bedrooms for guests or children, a corner for remote work, a family room. With the garage, total area reaches 2,306 sq ft.

On the Duo cottage ground floor, the plan brings the kitchen with its island, the living room and the dining room together in one open space, with the dining room facing a patio drawn at the back. The staircase separates this living area from the entrance, with its vestibule, closet and powder room, next to the 292 sq ft garage.

The 9-foot ground-floor ceilings planned at BÉAcité give these 858 sq ft extra volume. Here, both halves of the plan are identical and marked “standard.”

The upper floor is the Duo cottage's largest level, at 1,160 sq ft. In its standard version, the plan shows two bedrooms with closets, an office, a bathroom, a laundry room, and a primary bedroom with a walk-in and a sitting area.

The optional version replaces one bedroom with an opening onto the ground floor — a void that gives the open space below a double height — and adds an ensuite bathroom to the primary bedroom. Together with the ground floor, this level brings the model's living space to 2,018 sq ft.

The Urbain model is the most compact of the three. Its 652 sq ft ground floor brings together the kitchen with its island, the living room and the dining room; at the entrance are the vestibule, a closet, a powder room and the 260 sq ft garage. The half marked “optionnel” offers a different arrangement of the kitchen and living room.

The Urbain basement has the same area as its ground floor, 652 sq ft. On the plan, the standard half is unfinished, with its mechanical and storage room; the optional half adds a family room, a bedroom and a bathroom. With the garage, the model's total area reaches 2,534 sq ft.
