The Townhouse appeared in the mid -nineteenth century in the UK almost immediately picked the attention of cinema, which made them popular all over the world. As a rule, in each apartment of the so -called “city house” there is a separate entrance from the street and a small front garden. Often on the ground floor there may be a garage. Townhaus projects differ from ordinary blocked houses, since they do not necessarily adjoin each other, but can stand separately. In Russia, the first buildings of this kind began to appear in 1995. For a rather long time they could only be seen under some settlements near Moscow, but gradually they began to appear in other corners of the Russian Federation. Townhouse is currently an excellent alternative to a city apartment. Among the advantages of such housing should be distinguished:- autonomous communications, which means a larger level of independence than in the case of an apartment;- quadrature of premises when calculating a family much more than in the case of an apartment building;- a square meter of housing is much cheaper than in apartment;- the possibility of implementing almost any design ideas (towhaus is often sold without layout);- on the ground floor there may be an office, garage or even a store.”City houses” are deservedly considered the best choice of housing for representatives of any social class who thought about buying their own housing. Townhaus gives the owners all the advantages of urban comfort and at the same time indulge in a picturesque suburban life without smog and noise characteristic of large cities. This is a great choice for a family that, appreciating a comfortable life, wants to live closer to nature – reservoirs, forests, flowers and grass.
