If there was ever a house worthy of the twinning emoji, it would be the Double House by Bokarev Architects. Found in Russia, the design looks almost deceiving since the two homes are attached. Some may think it's a single unit that looks adjoined, others will guess correctly that they're separate. Either way, Bokarev Architects designed it for two brothers who wanted to remain as close as possible.
With separate entrances and what appears to be shared amneties, Bokarev Architects ensured that the brothers will feel as though they have their own space but can come together with ease when they wanted each others' company. It's a fun concept that could easily be adopted by other families.
