House

In the urbanized and contemporary world of todays society, its possible to find many different housing typologies. These typologies are usually found in urban regions, since they are part of cultures and habits of certain societies.

On the other hand, certain typologies are proposed from time to time by some new architectural eras or by individuals desiring new adventures and architectural experiences.

All houses have a wide variety of dimensions, they come from small bungalows T1 consisting only of a room, a room with kitchen and a bathroom, to private villas. A villa is a sumptuous house of great proportions. In general, it is an isolated property with large area of gardens with swimming pools and private garages.
