BRITISH HOUSING
A house in its most general sense is a human-built dwelling with enclosing walls and a roof. It provides shelter against precipitation, wind, heat, cold and intruding humans and animals. There are three basic house types in Great Britain: • houses standing on their own (detached houses) • houses attached to one other house (semi-detached houses) • houses attached to two other houses, possibly in a row (terraced houses).
In Britain terraced or semi-detached houses are the most common type of accommodation, with 27% of all British people living in a terraced house and 32% in semi-detached houses (2002). An interesting example of a modern genre of housing is the so called "Cheese House" designed by leading UK architect Marshman Warren Taylor; this was developed for the mass-middle-class market of the 1970's housing boom.
Semi-detached housing (usually abbreviated to semi, as in "three-bedroom semi") consists of pairs of houses built side by side as units sharing a party wall and usually in such a way that each house's layout is a mirror image of its twin. This type of housing can be thought of as being a half-way state between terraced or row housing and individual (detached) houses. Terraced housing is constituted by continuous row houses with open spaces at the front and back, semi-detached houses have front, rear and any one side open spaces and individual detached houses have open spaces on all sides. In the British housing boom of the 1920s and 1930s semi-detached houses sprang up in suburbs throughout the country, and were popular with middle class home owners who preferred them to terrace houses. The design of many of these houses, highly characteristic of the era, was heavily influenced by the Art Deco movement. Other typical suburban developments were designed in mock Tudor, and chalet styles. In the immediate post-war years many council houses also followed the 'semi' format, giving many people a first experience of private garden space. During the house price boom in the years to 2004 many property developers found they could create value by demolishing semi-detached houses and building two detached houses on the same site, often with a very narrow gap between the new units.
In architecture and city planning, a terrace, rowhouse is a style of housing since the late 18th century where identical individual houses are cojoined into rows. A terrace is also the term used to refer to paved, unroofed areas that open out from a building, usually in residences at upper floor levels.
The term terrace was borrowed from garden terraces by English architects of the late Georgian period to describe streets of houses whose uniform fronts and uniform height created an ensemble that was more stylish than a "row". The "row", as in the 16th-century Yarmouth Rows in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, was a designation for a narrow street where the building fronts uniformly ran right to the property line.
By the early Victorian period, a terrace had degenerated into any style of housing where individual houses repeating one design are conjoined into rows, which can be long or short. The style was used for workers' housing during the great industrial boom following the industrial revolution, particularly in the textile industry. The Terrace style spread widely in the UK, and was the usual form of high density residential housing up to World War II.
Houses consist of many specific designated rooms. Mostly each house comprise of bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and, living room. It is essential to properly design these rooms according to people live in it. The designing of inside house is called interior design and it is a quite popular subject in universities. In Chinese, Feng shui is a method to design house interior so it could give harmonious effect to the people living inside the house.
