I built a long horizontal box, using medium frames in it for brood, and put
a stack of mediums rising up from the middle of it for honey supers. Ran a
colony in each end.
Wasn't a big success.

Dartington Long Deep hives
The Dartington Long Deep (DLD) hive takes 14 x 12 inch and can take up to 17
frames. It is possible to have 2 colonies in the brood box as there is an
entrance at either end. It has half size honey supers which take 6 frames
can be used which are lighter than full supers and are therefore easier to
lift.[18] The Dartington originally developed by Robin Dartington so that he
could keep bees on his London rooftop.
