Family-First Multiplexes: Architrix’s Khang Nguyen on Design, Net-Zero Gains, and Livable Plans

Host Maria Kritikos sits down with Khang Nguyen of Architrix Design Studio for a guided tour through real Vancouver projects—from elegant modern-gable duplexes to 4-, 5-, and 6-unit multiplexes. Kang shares how Architrix blends custom-home warmth with developer efficiency, simplifying approvals and buildability while keeping homes environmentally conscious and truly livable.

What you’ll learn:

  • Design that lives well: storage that actually works, smart privacy, sound separation, and outdoor space (decks + roof terraces) buyers ask for.
  • Net-zero, made practical: what “net-zero” means, typical upgrades, and how projects can unlock ~19% additional FSR under current policies.
  • Process & timelines: realistic ranges for design, permitting, and construction—plus why today’s duplex/multiplex paths are faster than a few years ago.
  • Site + layout strategy: accessory buildings vs. rear units (and separations), carports vs. garages, EV-readiness, and how assembled lots can create “cottage-style” communities.
  • Who it’s for: unit mixes that fit young families, downsizers, and multigenerational living—without blowing the neighborhood aesthetic.

If you want multiplexes that fit in, feel like home, and pencil out, this session delivers clear, actionable insights from a studio building them right now.

Have questions or want to explore how multiplexes could work for you?

Whether you’re a developer, buyer, investor, or homeowner, I’d love to connect.
