UNDERGROUND HOUSE
• Underground house or earth-sheltered dwellings lie mostly beneath the Earth's surface. These houses are in expensive to heat and cool since the surrounding soil acts as natural insulation.
• Underground buildings (at least some) depend entirely upon the insulation provided by the soil surrounding walls and floors. Others, however, have tubes channeled through them to bring in fresh air.
• Most underground dwellings are made of concrete. Some other advantages of building underground are lower insurance premiums, natural sound insulation, less susceptibility to fire, high winds, hailstorms and tornadoes to name a few.
TREE HOUSE
• Tree houses can be built with a wide range of material. Wood is commonly used for structural parts and cladding due to its strength, light weight and low cost. Steel is used for brackets, cables and bolts, including specialized tree bolts capable of supporting up to 6,000 pounds (2,700 kg). Builders of tree houses sometimes use recycled materials or parts, such as reclaimed window frames, doors and used lumber. Fabrics can be used to produce non-rigid temporary structures that are more like tree tents than tree house. Since the mid-1990s, recreational tree houses have enjoyed a rise in popularity in countries such as the united States and parts of Europe.
APARTMENT
• By 1900, more than 75 percent of urban Americans were living in apartments. Apartments served as a second residence for many wealthy Americans and offered a convenient, respectable, and safe residence near work for urban singles and middle-class families. San Francisco's Tenderloin district, then a middle-class neighborhood with residential hotels and apartment houses, was popularly known as "the apartment house district."
TERRACED HOUSE
• In architecture and city planning, a terraced house, terrace, row house, linked house or townhouse (though the last term can also refer to patio houses) 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 Place des Vosges in Paris (1605–1612) is one of the early examples of the style. The first and last of these houses is called an end terrace, and is often larger than the houses in the middle.
