Abstract

Traditional housing has become a subject of great interest amongst everyone for a number of good reasons. It is very clear that extreme use of technology accelerates various environmental problems. This report aims to design and analyze a row house that combines traditional and modern housing & construction practices with lower construction costs, better indoor climate, and sustainability. An online survey was conducted where the respondents, also the future end-users of this design, were asked about their experiences and suggestions that proved helpful in creating the final design. The results showed that most respondents were willing to adopt traditional housing when combined and catered to the modern lifestyle. The construction cost of the house thus designed was compared with that of a modern house to demonstrate the cost-effectiveness of the designed structure. The outcome was very positive due to the significant reduction in cost and the better sustainability of the structure.

Keywords
