Terrace houses can be
found from a lot of areas in Sydney. Redfern has many terrace houses. They are
tidily arranged, painted with different colours.In architecture and city
planning, a terrace(d) house, terrace, row house, linked house or townhouse is
a style of medium-density housing that originated in Europe in the 16th
century, where a row of identical or mirror-image houses share side walls.
The term terrace was
borrowed from garden terraces by British 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".
Townhouses (or townhomes) are generally two– to three-storey structures that
share a wall with a neighbouring unit.
Terraced housing in Australia ranged from
expensive middle-class houses of three, four and five-storeys down to
single-storey cottages in working-class suburbs. The most common building
material used was brick, often covered with stucco.
