How it's used
Primarily used in the context of real estate to describe multi-level residential units. It emphasizes the structural layout of having two distinct floors connected by an internal staircase within a single property. Unlike standard apartments, it carries a sense of luxury or extra space.
Examples
The duplex apartment he is living in is huge.
Do you prefer a duplex or a single-floor apartment?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 雙層, which is more commonly used for vehicles like buses or general objects with two layers rather than residential architecture.
