Row House Design is a straightforward term for designing a row of connected houses with a disciplined architectural framework.

Each unit ensures communal living with ample breathing space. Row houses can also be of the single, double, or triple duplex type, depending on the occupancy offered at a place.
Row housing was first built in the 16th century in Europe and gained recognition in other countries. This was mainly due to its compact and affordable style. Renowned architect Le Corbusier established the first row house design in India. He did so while fashioning a masterplan for the city of Chandigarh between 1951 and 1956. Luxurious bungalows, small villas, or houses were the segregated type of housing during pre-independence British rule. Apparently, the idea of communal living was unknown during this time. However, with the population broadening post-independence, tall apartments came into light to accommodate the same.
