HOUSING TYPOLOGIES
 HOUSING TYPOLOGIES

It is a free-standing residential building. They consist of pairs of houses built side by side as units. A row of identical or mirror-image houses
 HOUSING TYPOLOGIES -APARTMENT
APARTMENT
There are three key elements to any apartment building:
• the overall form of the building
• the type of access
• the types of unit
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
Building access arrangement
• Have 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.

 HOUSING TYPOLOGIES - APARTMENT
Corner aspect apartments - Double aspect Apartments Single 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.
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.
-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.

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).
 HOUSING TYPOLOGIES -APARTMENT
Basic building forms are: The Courtyard
The Block
The Tower The Block
- Wider than it is tall.
The courtyard -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.
 HOUSING TYPOLOGIES -APARTMENT
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.

Single-loaded corridor access Double loaded corridor access

The dwellings are accessed off one side only .
• Overall building depth is less.
• The orientation of all apartments is towards preferred aspect.
• External corridors allow for a naturally lit and ventilated corridor
• Dwellings with cross ventilation if the corridor is external.
• 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.

CONCLUSION

• 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.

OVERALL CONCLUSION

• 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 according to cultural, economical
and other factors
• 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.
• avoiding corridor system is preferable because it causes noise and lack of privacy.
