Ground Floor Plan](https://blog.swanbuild.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Arcadia%2021%20Duplex%20-%20Ground%20Floor.jpeg?width=6999&height=4575&name=Arcadia%2021%20Duplex%20-%20Ground%20Floor.jpeg)   When it comes to the layout of the Arcadia 21 we really created something new and special. The ground floor contains the home's secondary living space, a very generous family bathroom with double vanity, the 2 secondary bedrooms with built-in storage, and a super practical amount of storage with a laundry, walk-in linen closet and even built in garage storage.  ![Arcadia 21 Duplex - First Floor Plan](https://blog.swanbuild.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Arcadia%2021%20Duplex%20-%20First%20Floor.jpeg?width=7081&height=4526&name=Arcadia%2021%20Duplex%20-%20First%20Floor.jpeg)   In a modern twist, the first floor of the Arcadia 21 features the main living spaces with the kitchen, an open-plan meals area and a separate lounge space, which both include access to the balcony. The main bedroom measures an oversized 4.1m x 4m and features a walk-in robe and ensuite while it overlooks your backyard.  Packed full of great design features, the [Arcadia 21](https://www.swanbuild.com.au/building-plans/arcadia-21-duplex/) is one of our most exciting new homes; the entry porch and tiled balcony give you ample spaces to enjoy your views and the layout is designed to accommodate every function a large home of this size could need.
