    People who stay in big cities with much activities today desperately need more space. Unfortunately, in some of the big cities of the world, there are lack of empty space that can be built and its price has just rapidly increased.

    The difference between this three types of housing is about the graded as follows: in apartment, each level of floor has two or more dwelling units. While in Condominium, the floor can only be filled with one dwelling unit. Another thing to consider is, condominium also referred to as the ‘luxurious or strata title residential’. Condominium unit is lot more expensive than the price of apartment units, because Condos have been arranged only to be filled with only one single dwelling unit for each level of the floor.

    Apartments can be distinguished from their price, prestige, and completeness of the facilities inside. Flat house is cheaper than apartment from the selling price and rental rates, but the facilities inside each flat are not as complete as an apartment. Usually Condominium or apartment is already well equipped with the interior furniture (all-in), and also has been equipped with air conditioning systems (AC), which is set in a central, while the flat house does not have such facilities.

      just what we need, a reminder that architects are bound to the available space and they need to be more creative in forming spaces so that less space can be occupied by more people. however, we need to consider that each of this space needs to be humane and practical.
