Bifront

/ˈbaɪfrʌnt/ adjective

Definition

Having two fronts or front-facing surfaces; designed or arranged with two forward-facing aspects.

Etymology

From Latin 'bi-' (two) + 'frons' (front or forehead). The term is often used in architecture and design to describe symmetrical or dual-facing structures.

Kelly Says

Janus-faced doors in Roman buildings were literally bifront—they faced two streets simultaneously, and the architectural trick was so clever that buildings could function in completely different ways depending on which entrance you used.
