| Abstract | ||||
| Housing is one of the basic human needs. People need homes to keep them safe against natural and man-made threats. Homes provide a haven where people can relax and retire after a day of work and activities where the whole family meets after every workday or school day. Home is the cradle, a place of rest, shelter, residence, and security. The research explores an important relationship between the private nature of comfort in houses and how it directly affects happiness and privacy. The changing needs and demands of residents and owners that change over time require some precautions in house planning. Besides, social, cultural, and economic conditions influence an individual's needs. While some people continue to move into larger houses, others are starting to choose houses with less space. The design of the different types of residential spaces is greatly affected by the quantity and way of distributing furniture. Therefore, the research aims to analyze the types of modern residential spaces through the design of studios, lofts, apartments, condos, multi-storey houses, duplexes, single-family houses, triplexes, fourplexes, and penthouse apartments. The research studied each type of residential space from concept, characteristics, history, interior analysis of each space type, criteria of selection, furniture requirements, challenges, and disadvantages for a certain community. Finally, the research concluded that the types of residential design have created a new approach and criteria for interior design according to the requirements of a community survey. | ||||
