Townhouses and apartment buildings are here to stay, but we need to design and build them to far higher standards than we do now. In part 1 of a new series looking at designing and building medium-density housing, we look at inter-tenancy walls.
Part 2 of this Build series on designing and building medium-density housing covers inter-tenancy floors. The most important consideration here is to eliminate penetrations into the inter-tenancy floor zone.
This final part of a series looking at medium-density housing that was outlined in Medium urges designers and builders to see beyond the current Building Code and deliver innovative solutions that ensure homes being built are appealing and not the slums of the future.
