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.
