For many people, living in a detached house with a courtyard offers a charm that can hardly be felt in an apartment home, regardless of its comfort. The direct connection with nature and the sense of privacy make it a preferred form of habitation. The house is a symbol of peace and security of the home. Today, access to a single-family home is increasingly difficult for the general public. The urban population is increasing dramatically, and the need for housing is becoming chronic, despite the steady expansion of residential areas.
Urban compaction is a logical answer to many of the questions about improving the quality of housing, improving access to cultural and public services, and making efficient use of the urban reserves of settlements. Low rise high density housing structures create a humane environment in which a person retains his or her identity, connection with nature and ability to communicate with humans. They strike a balance between individual and collective living and combine the tranquility of life in the green of the suburbs with the comforts of urban living.
