Apartment Buildings

Apartment Buildings

Apartment buildings are residential structures containing multiple self-contained dwellings within a shared building. Apartment architecture coordinates private units with common entrances, corridors, stairs, elevators, and building services. Differences in floor plans, height, balconies, and shared outdoor space reflect the relationship between household privacy and collective living, while the building's footprint and frontage shape its place within a neighborhood.

Urban housing combines private dwellings with shared boundaries, circulation, or building systems in different ways. Row houses, apartments, residential towers, and penthouses contrast street-level frontage with collective and upper-floor accommodation, showing how density, entrances, outdoor space, and vertical movement shape domestic architecture.
