What is a terrace? 

A terrace refers to an outdoor area attached to a building, usually elevated above ground level, and often used for leisure activities or as a garden space. 

It can also refer to a row of houses that are attached to each other, usually with shared walls on either side. These houses are often uniform in design and are built in a continuous row, giving the appearance of a single structure from the street. 

How is a terrace different from a balcony?

A terrace is generally larger and more open, often serving as an extension of the living area with a spacious layout. They are commonly used for leisure activities like outdoor dining, lounging, and gardening. 

In contrast, a balcony is smaller, usually attached to a single apartment or room, and may not be as open or accessible as a terrace.

How is a terrace home different from a townhouse or duplex?

A terrace home is a narrow, multi-story house that shares walls with neighbouring homes in a continuous row, typically found in urban areas. 

Unlike a duplex, which is divided into two separate units within a single building, or a townhouse, which may also share walls but often has distinct architectural styles and configurations, a terrace home is part of a uniform row. Terrace homes tend to have compact floor plans with limited outdoor space, whereas duplexes and townhouses might offer larger layouts or more private outdoor areas.
