Terrace Houses in Singapore

Terrace houses are properties that are part of a row of similar houses joined together by a common boundary, giving them the associated name of row houses. According to URA guidelines, a set of terrace houses has to part of a row of at least three units joined together. While joined, each Terrace House is a property in its own respect and has its own walls and roof.

Terrace houses have a reputation for being dark and not well-ventilated because they only have windows on their narrow ends. Thus, the better terrace houses are often designed with an air well or inner courtyard.
