the Urban Fourplex

At MEGS Architects, we see fourplexes as a powerful response to the affordability crisis and the underuse of low-rise neighborhoods. These compact buildings fit seamlessly into existing residential fabric while offering four separate units, ideal for intergenerational living, co-ownership models, or gentle rental intensification.

Our fourplex designs balance privacy, daylight access, and high-quality finishes. Whether front-facing or laneway-oriented, they’re crafted to respect neighborhood character while unlocking new housing options on standard lots.
