Long considered a solution to high-density housing, terrace homes are abundant in inner-city pockets around the world.
With shared walls, uniform facades, narrow frontages and two to three storeys, terrace homes are often more energy-efficient and offer other benefits, including urban convenience. Renovations offer stylish takes on these classic homes.
