Living well together — private sanctuary meets shared life

Duo reimagines coliving as a curated ecosystem for everyday quality. At its core is balance: generous private rooms that feel like true retreats, paired with lively communal spaces where meals, conversation, and chance encounters happen naturally. The goal isn’t dorm-style density; it’s dignity and ease—belonging without losing individuality. Circulation is simple and social. Shared kitchens and lounges anchor each floor, with edges that invite lingering rather than passing through. Outdoor rooms—courtyards, terraces, small patios—extend daily life into fresh air, making community feel effortless and optional at the same time.

Saint Paul

West Seventh — history, grit, and a social heartbeat.

Set along one of Saint Paul’s oldest corridors, West Seventh blends first-settlement history with a lively mix of breweries, restaurants, and longtime neighborhood anchors. From Cossetta’s and Mancini’s to newer taprooms and markets, the district’s social fabric is built on gathering. Duo takes cues from that rhythm—active ground-floor edges, welcoming shared spaces, and a scale that participates in street life rather than overpowering it. It’s designed as a neighbor first, a building second.
