SECLUDED SANCTURIES: THE PRIVACY ADVANTAGE OF TOWNHOUSES

With the overwhelming sense that everything we do is tracked and with public spaces busier than ever, especially in the big cities, people want a home that provides privacy. A tranquil environment to come home to and relax.

In the cities, townhouses offer a sense of privacy unlike that found in your typical apartment. A private entrance, a private garden and the privacy from others in your home. For families, the multi-level townhouse creates a distinct separation between gathering areas, outdoor spaces and bedrooms. Additionally, private roof terraces offer exceptional outdoor entertaining areas whilst maintaining a sense of detachment from the streets below.

LIVE, DINE AND ENTERTAIN: TRANSFORMATIVE SPACES IN TOWNHOUSE LIVING

Following the global pandemic in 2020, we realized how much we missed the company of others. Now we are taking any chance to celebrate and get together, especially in our own homes.

The kitchen is the heart of the home.

Townhouses often offer an entire level dedicated to the kitchen/dining space where people can meet and enjoy one another’s company. Commonly, the kitchen will open onto a private garden patio which extends the communal areas in the summer, great for hosting.
