GENERAL TYPES OF HOUSING

Detached Home

-It is a free-standing residential building.

-Generally found in less dense urban areas the suburbs of cities, and rural areas.

-Surrounded by a garden.

-Garages can also be found on most lots.

SEMI DETACHED

-They consist of pairs of houses built side by side as units.

-They share a party wall.

-Usually each house's layout is a mirror image of its twin.

-This type of housing is a half-way state between terraced and detached houses.

5

Terraced houses

-A row of identical or mirror-image houses.

-They share side walls.

- The first and last of these houses is called an end terrace.

Apartment

The building will also be informed by : a context analysis at a site and neighbourhood

scale. Factors such site topography, natural features,

sun penetration, prevailing wind, access, existing structures on adjacent sites and views will help determine the most appropriate form and massing for an apartment development.

There are three key elements to any apartment building: the overall form of the building the type of access the types of unit

Basic building forms are: The Block The Tower The Courtyard

The Block- Wider than it is tall.- The apartments are arranged off a corridor (single, or double-loaded).

The Tower- Vertical form- single centralized core

-The tower may have a base.-The roof of the podium can be landscaped and used as open space for the apartment residents.

Courtyard Apartments

provides the ‘sides’ open spaces (courtyards). The open spaces are communal and should provide a high quality landscaped environment and outlook.

Building access arrangementHave big influence on the circulation spaces

access is organized vertically (i.e. a shared lift or stair core), horizontally (i.e. a shared corridor off a core) internal or

external individually (i.e. apartments having their own front door).

Individual 'own front door' access-Entered directly from the street, courtyard or private stair. -No communal circulation. -Limited to one or two levels above ground. - enhanced street activity through greater frequency of entrances.- more privacy and individuality.

Vertical shared access

a greater degree of dwelling individuality. vertical cores can be placed internally or externally. vertical cores can bring light and air into communal areas. greater potential for social interaction with neighbors, while

limiting the number of apartments to a manageable size. a mix of apartment types can be achieved.

Horizontal shared accessSingle-loaded corridor access

-The dwellings are accessed off one side only . overall building depth is less. the orientation of all apartments is towards

a preferred aspect. external corridors allow for a naturally lit

and ventilated corridor dwellings with cross ventilation if the

corridor is external.

Double-loaded corridor access

-Apartments are accessed off both sides of the corridor .- The overall building depth is deeper than a singe-loaded arrangement- greater efficiency of circulation space compared to a single loaded corridor.- higher overall density of residential units.-opportunity for more variety in apartment mix due to greater building depth.

three key elements to describe an individual apartment type:

number of bedrooms number of storeys the number of external walls that have views to the outside

(single aspect, double aspect, or corner aspect).

Single aspect apartments -Single aspect apartments have three closed sides (except for the entrance).-Good option for hillside housing or undesirable site condition.- uses for a double-loaded corridor building that runs north-south, so that all apartments receive either morning or afternoon sun.

Double aspect apartments

-Placing double aspect units side by side is a common form of arrangement. - being able to repeat apartments while also maintaining the maximum amount of external facade.- If the apartment is too deep, natural light to the center can be difficult.

Corner aspect apartments

-two sides that are exterior walls. -This type is often used in tower buildings or at the ends of linear buildings.

- Dual aspect and increased views, sunlight and daylight.

Small apartment

Low-rise apartment

Mid-rise apartment

Apartment over commercial

High-rise apartment

There are many types of houses and each one characterized by special character and each one have different function, material and style.and made according to a specific design.

Its better to use more than one type in a housing project. Detached houses for privacy, luxury, free modification and addition,

no management fees….. apartment blocks for economic, safety, Not responsible for any

exterior maintenance or repairs. Different unit sizes for apartments for different family needs.

Different unit sizes for apartments for different family needs. avoiding corridor system is preferable because it causes noise and

lack of privacy.
