Summary:
The desire to have a home of one’s own is still the leading motivation for those who wish to construct or purchase buildings. Row and twin houses and ribbon developments constitute an affordable alternative to the single-family house, especially for young families. In times of tight budgets and rising investment costs, they represent a sensible alternative to the freestanding single-family house, particularly in terms of their use of open space. That they can also be appealing, high-quality houses is shown by the selected international examples in this new volume in the series In Detail. The projects presented are organized by building material and clearly documented with an area map, ground plans, and interrelated sections. The documentation of examples is supplemented by technical articles offering concrete support and assistance for the planner and building sponsor. In addition to analyzing the typology of the high-density, single-family house, the volume introduces different planning and financing models as well as energy-saving building methods and construction with prefabricated parts.

Summary:
For this typology of residential buildings, the authors have developed systematic new presentations of the most innovative types. Each individual volume lays out the possibilities for using and transforming a particular form of residential structure. The first volume deals with the various types of the courtyard house, which utilizes the courtyard as an intimate outdoor living space. A presentation of the courtyard as a building block of the city is followed by coverage of the complete spectrum of types - cluster, network, carpet, terraces, etc. The second volume is devoted to the various types of row house, a particularly widespread form of residential structure. A general discussion of the row as organizing principle – the row as urban building block, linear space, ways of handling corners – is followed by the systematic presentation of the different types.

Summary:
Vivre sous les toits suppose de jouir d'un lieu privilégié. La popularisation de l'ascenseur, apparu au milieu du XIXème siècle, a entraîné une évolution des priorités dans le choix d'une demeure. Disparu l'effort physique nécessaire pour atteindre le dernier étage, les mansardes changèrent de statut pour se convertir en logements les plus convoités. Sous les toits, le point de vue sur la ville se transforme: il devient possible de la contempler depuis les hauteurs, de la ressentir et de la vivre d'une manière différente à celle de nos déambulations dans ses rues. Ces constructions permettent de profiter de beaucoup de lumière et de superbes panoramas. En outre, très souvent, les appartements sous les toits comportent des terrasses ou autres espaces extérieurs source de valeur ajoutée. Cette sélection expose quelques logements actuels et novateurs, s'harmonisant avec la personnalité de leurs habitants et pensés pour tirer le parti maximum de leurs caractéristiques spéciales.
