Home›Residential Buildings›Building Family›Apartment and Multi-Family BuildingsGroupApartment and Multi-Family BuildingsA building purpose designed to house more than one household under a single roof or across a single architectural complex, spanning early twentieth century apartment blocks, mid-century housing estates and towers, and contemporary mixed-use residential high-rises. What unites this group is the multi-unit program itself: a building conceived from the outset to serve many separate households at once, which sets it apart from every single-family house group here, whether that house is a plantation house, a villa, a museum-operated historic house, or a modern architect-designed demonstration house built for one family.FactsBrowse BySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested100 CE 1Origin RegionWell-attestedItaly (Ostia) 1Browse ByAll Apartment and Multi-Family BuildingsApartment and Multi-Family Buildings22 entriesApartment and Multi-Family BuildingsFilter Results22 entriesArchitectAllAntoni Gaudi (1)StyleAllArt Deco (1)Art Nouveau (1)Bauhaus (1)Brutalism (3)Constructivist Architecture (1)Contemporary architecture (1)Metabolism (1)Modernist Architecture (3)Neo-Futurism (1)Queen Anne Style Architecture (1)Renaissance Architecture (2)MaterialAllBrick (3)Precast Concrete (2)Sandstone (1)Steel (1)Stone (2)Terracotta (1)Timber (1)Building TypeAllApartment Building (2)Apartment building complex (1)Council housing estate (1)Double house (1)House (2)Housing Complex (1)housing estate (1)Mixed-Use Complex (1)Mixed-Use Development (1)Mixed-use residential and commercial skyscraper (1)Mixed-use tower with commercial office and rental apartments (1)Multifamily residential (2)Residential (3)Residential and Office Tower (1)Residential apartment building (1)Residential maisonette block (1)Shophouse (1)Tong lau (1)Villa (1)Completed YearAll1880 (1)1883 (1)1903 (1)1906 (2)1912 (1)1922 (2)1927 (2)1934 (1)1952 (2)1964 (1)1966 (1)1967 (1)1968 (1)1969 (1)1970 (1)1972 (2)1982 (1)2005 (1)2006 (1)2010 (1)2013 (1)Standing StatusAllDemolished (2)Standing (20)GroupAllApartment and Multi-Family Buildings (22)PlaceAllBrazil (1)Canada (1)China (2)Denmark (1)France (1)Germany (1)Italy (1)Japan (1)Russia (1)Singapore (1)Spain (2)Sweden (1)United Kingdom (4)United States (4)BrowseCompareSelect all 227 Mallory StreetResidential Buildings1 link8 HouseResidential Buildings1 linkAnglecotResidential Buildings2 linksBarbican EstateResidential Buildings2 linksBlue House (Hong Kong)Residential Buildings1 linkByker WallResidential Buildings1 linkCasa BatlloResidential Buildings3 linksCasa MilaResidential Buildings4 linksEdificio CopanResidential Buildings4 linksHabitat 67Residential Buildings4 linksIsokon BuildingResidential Buildings4 linksKieldson Double HouseResidential Buildings4 linksMarina CityResidential Buildings1 linkMelnikov HouseResidential Buildings3 linksNakagin Capsule TowerResidential Buildings4 linksRobin Hood GardensResidential Buildings4 linksThe DakotaResidential Buildings5 linksThe InterlaceResidential Buildings2 linksTurning TorsoResidential Buildings2 linksUnite d'Habitation, MarseilleResidential Buildings2 linksVilla Somaglia-BalconiResidential Buildings2 linksWeissenhof EstateResidential Buildings2 linksSources1.
