The possibilities for such a design are wide, says Michelle Hall of Tectonica. say. Duo's sales and marketing, which is celebrating its grand opening today, has announced a two-story show suite with ample flex space that can also be used as a two-bedroom, den, or three-bedroom.

She says some people may have older parents who can share a home and take a main-level primary suite. Others may want to entertain guests, they may be grateful to kick back in their own private suite.
