If you've been searching for a 5 Marla house design in Pakistan that actually works for two families under one roof, this is a genuinely different answer from most 5 Marla listings: a real duplex, not just a house with an extra room. The ground floor is a complete, self-contained unit — 2 bedrooms, a living room right at the main entrance, an open kitchen, and a drawing room reached through its own separate entrance — and the first floor mirrors that same layout independently, reached by its own staircase beside the main gate.

What sets this front 5 marla house design apart from a standard single-family layout is that independence: two kitchens mean neither floor has to share cooking space, and the separate entrances mean each family unit can come and go without passing through the other's living area. Whether you're comparing this 5 Marla house elevation against a single-family option, looking at 5 Marla house front design pictures before you decide, or simply searching for a straightforward 5 Marla house plan for a joint-family or rental setup, this page covers the complete floor-by-floor layout, what's included, and what it costs to buy from Ghar Plans.

5 Marla Plot Size: How Many Square Feet?

This is the standard conversion used across Pakistani real estate — whether this plot is quoted in Marla, square feet or square yards, all three figures describe the same 1,125 sq. ft. footprint that this duplex is built around, with each floor built on that same footprint.

Ground Floor Layout – Living Room, Open Kitchen & Drawing Room with Its Own Entrance

The ground floor is built as a complete, independent unit rather than half of a shared house: a spacious living room greets you at the main entrance, and the kitchen is open-plan, drawing ventilation through the car porch rather than relying on a closed-off exhaust. The drawing room is reached through its own separate entrance — a genuine second access point that matters if this floor is being used by a different family group or rented out independently. Two bedrooms, each with an attached bathroom, and a shared open-to-sky area for natural light and airflow, round out the floor.

First Floor Layout – Mirrored Duplex Unit Plus a Bonus 5th Bedroom

Rather than a simple second storey, the first floor repeats the ground floor's living room, open kitchen and 2-bedroom layout as a genuinely separate unit — which is what makes this design work as a real duplex rather than just a two-storey house. On top of that mirrored layout, an additional 5th bedroom sits above the drawing room and car porch, with its own walk-in closet and attached bathroom — extra space that a standard mirrored duplex wouldn't otherwise have. A staircase beside the main gate gives this floor independent access, separate from the ground floor's entrance.

5 Marla House Front Elevation & Front Design

If you're comparing 5 Marla house front design pictures before deciding, this page shows the complete front elevation as both images and a 3D render, so you can see exactly how the duplex's two access points — the drawing room's separate entrance and the first floor's staircase beside the main gate — read from the street, alongside the mini car porch at the main entrance.

Why This 5 Marla Duplex House Design Works

⦁ A genuine duplex, not just an extra room — 2 fully self-contained units with 2 kitchens and 2 separate access points, not one house with a shared floor

⦁ 5 bedrooms across both floors — 2 ground floor, 2 mirrored first floor, plus a bonus 5th bedroom with a walk-in closet

⦁ Every bedroom has an attached bathroom — genuine privacy across both units

⦁ A drawing room with its own separate entrance — real independence for ground-floor guests or a separate family group

⦁ Independent first-floor access — a dedicated staircase beside the main gate, not a shared internal stair

⦁ An open kitchen ventilated through the car porch — practical airflow without a closed-off exhaust setup

⦁ A shared open-to-sky area — natural light and ventilation built into a compact 5 Marla footprint

Frequently Asked Questions

How many square feet is a 5 Marla plot?

Using the standard 225 sq. ft. per Marla conversion, 5 Marla works out to 1,125 sq. ft. — the same as 125 sq. yards, and the plot size this house design is built for.

Is this a 5 Marla house design double story?

Yes. It's a double story design across a ground floor and a first floor, with each floor built as its own self-contained unit.

Is this a duplex house design?

Yes — this is specifically designed as a duplex for two separate family units, with 2 kitchens, mirrored floor layouts, and independent access to each floor.

How many bedrooms does this 5 Marla house have?

5 bedrooms in total: 2 on the ground floor, 2 mirrored on the first floor, plus 1 additional bedroom with a walk-in closet above the drawing room and car porch — all with attached bathrooms.

Does this house have 2 kitchens?

Yes. Each floor has its own kitchen, so both family units can cook independently without sharing.

Can I see pictures of this 5 Marla house's front design?

Yes. Front elevation pictures and a full 3D render are shown on this page, so you can see the duplex's front design — including the drawing room's separate entrance and the first-floor staircase — before you buy.

Is there a separate entrance for each family unit?

Yes. The ground floor's drawing room has its own separate entrance, and the first floor is reached independently by a staircase beside the main gate.

What's the difference between a "5 Marla house design" and a "5 Marla house plan"?

None for this page — "house design," "house plan" and "house elevation" all describe the same set of drawings: the 2D layout for both floors and the 3D front elevation.

How is this different from Ghar Plans' other 5 Marla, 25x45 house designs?

This is the duplex option — built and marketed specifically for two separate family units with mirrored floors and 2 kitchens. If you want a single-family home on the same 25×45 plot instead, our split-level 5 Marla design offers a different layout across five distinct levels rather than two mirrored duplex floors.

Can the floor plan or elevation be customised?

Yes. Our design team can adjust the room layout, elevation style or floor-wise room split for an additional customisation fee — contact our team for a quote.

What do I get when I buy this house plan?

You receive the complete drawing package for both floors as downloadable digital files — the 2D house map, 2D and 3D front elevation, working drawings, schedules, foundation and section drawings, electrical and plumbing drawings, and a rendered layout. Submission drawings and structural drawings are available separately if your project needs them.

How much does this 5 Marla house design cost?

House plans at Ghar Plans are priced as a small, one-time cost — you'll find the current price for this plan at the top of the page.
