aaneengebouwde

Aaneengebouwde is a Dutch term that translates to "terraced," "adjoined," or "semi-detached" in English. It describes a type of housing where one or more houses are built directly next to each other, sharing one or more walls. This contrasts with detached houses, which stand alone on their own plots of land.

In a terraced housing arrangement, each house typically has its own entrance and often its own small garden or yard. The houses are connected side-by-side, forming a continuous row. This is a common architectural style in many urban and suburban areas, particularly in Europe.

Semi-detached houses, also a form of aaneengebouwde, usually involve pairs of houses that share a single central wall. This means each house is adjoined to only one other house, rather than being part of a longer row. This arrangement offers a bit more space and privacy compared to fully terraced houses.

The term aaneengebouwde encompasses both these variations, highlighting the characteristic of shared walls and proximity between dwellings. This building style is often favored for its efficient use of land and can contribute to a sense of community among residents. It is a prevalent housing type in areas where space is a consideration.
