DEFINITION

on a lot.

garden. The detached house can either have a built-in garage or
a detached one.
 It must be understood that a detached house can take on any
form or style.
 It does not matter if the house is a bungalow or a cottage or a
mansion. It also does not matter if the house is Victorian or
Tudor or Minimalist.
As long as no walls of the structure are connected to another
dwelling, the house remains to be a detached house.
ADVANTAGES
One advantage of a detached house is the fact that the free space
surrounding the building is private to the owner and his family.
Depending on local regulations and codes, you can do whatever
allowable extension or modification you would like to be done in your
house.
 You would not have to worry about getting a permit from a landlord
to do renovations.
You would not need to pay property management fees like those paid
by condominiums and townhouse dwellers. The disadvantage is that

MANSION
A Mansion is a very large house, usually of more than one
story, on a very large block of land. • U.S. define a mansion as
a dwelling of over (740 m2). • A traditional European mansion
was defined as a house which contained a ballroom and tens
of bedrooms. • In the past, it was fashionable for the elite
society of Europe to follow from “country home” to country
home, so unfortified country houses displaced castles. • Until
World War II it was not unusual for a moderately sized
mansion in England such as Cliveden to have an indoor staff
of 20 and an outside staff of the same size. • The 19th century
saw particularly in the United States a new type of mansion
being built, often smaller than the older European mansions.
COTTAGE
• A Cottage is a small house. • In the U.S. a cottage
typically has four main rooms, two either side of a
central corridor. • In Australia, it is common for a
cottage to have a verandah across its front. • A cottage
is a modest dwelling, typically in a rural, or semi-rural
location (although there are cottage-style dwellings in
cities). • often located near a body of water. However,
this is more commonly called a "cabin“ in North
America. • Most buildings known as cottages are used
for weekend or summer getaways by city dwellers.
COURTYARD HOUSE
A courtyard house is a type of large house where the
main part of the building is disposed around a central
courtyard. • The main rooms often open onto the
courtyard, and the exterior walls may be windowless and
semi-fortified. • Courtyard houses of this type occupy an
intermediate position between a castle or fortress.
Courtyard houses have been built in many regions and
eras, including the earliest Chinese dynasties. •
Courtyard houses are also common in Islamic
architecture, where the interior space was important, not
the outside. Part of the house is separated for females
CORE HOUSE

is incomplete at the time of occupation. • It is normally
designed so that it can be completed by the inhabitant. • It
is a sort of Housing Through Resident Participation (Sites
and services projects) • Site and Services is an approach to
bringing shelter within the economic reach of the poor. • In
the 1970s, large-scale projects which needed to deal
expeditiously with many thousands or even hundreds of
thousands of people at one, had little ability to look at the
very complex reality of how people, and small groups of
people, organized themselves in real life.
