People have required shelter since ancient times. In the early ages, shelter needs were met by utilizing natural formations such as caves, tree trunks, and primitive tents. As technology has developed, human needs and housing areas have shifted towards new types of housing. The new housing type was influenced by the physical, cultural, and technological infrastructure of its location. Today, the materials used, the intended purpose, and the differences in architectural design are what define the various types of housing. In this week's article, we will examine the different types of housing and explain which type of flooring should be preferred for each.

Single-Family House
Single-family houses are designed for the use of only one family. These houses often come with a garden and are located in suburban neighborhoods. They come in different sizes and with varying room designs, providing a spacious living space. For the flooring, natural engineering parquet or marquetry parquet is recommended.
Dublex Apartments
Duplex apartment houses consist of two flats in a single building. In Turkey, these flats are typically located on the top two floors and the upper floor is often a penthouse. The living space, which includes the kitchen and living room, is usually situated on the ground floor, while bedrooms or study rooms are on the upper floors.
In some cases, duplex houses can be created within existing structures. For example, two apartments located on top of each other can be converted into a duplex by opening the stairwell to provide a transition between them. However, such transformation projects require permission and must be done in partnership with authorized architects and civil engineers.
The situation is changing in high-rise residences, where many duplex houses can coexist on different floors within a single structure. Laminate flooring is a good choice for residential units that reflect this modern lifestyle.

Flats
An apartment is an independent unit in a multi-story building where many families live together. Since tenants often change in apartments, it is common for the parquet flooring to be replaced frequently. For these types of housing, it is recommended to choose parquets that can be easily modified in terms of color. The color of laminated parquet made from natural wood can be changed using the scraper polish method.
Lofts
Loft units are a type of housing that has spread from the United States to the world. In the 1970s, old factory and warehouse structures that had become idle were converted into residential areas as a solution to the housing problem. This is how the first loft apartments emerged.
This type of housing is preferred by upper-class users and artists due to its rarity, history, alternative lifestyle, and large usage area.
Loft apartments are characterized by high ceilings, open spaces, and large windows, which make them highly appealing to painters, sculptors, and photographers. They can be used as both a residence and a workshop, thanks to the lack of interior walls. Loft apartments are compatible with many different textures, colors, and patterns, including parquet flooring.
Villas
Villas are a type of housing owned by a single family, similar to single-family houses. They appeal to upper-income individuals as they are suitable for a luxury lifestyle. Care is taken to use quality materials in their construction. The choice of flooring is also important, as interior design is emphasized in this type of housing, and high-quality products should be preferred. High-quality laminated parquets or glamorous marquetry parquets are preferred in this type of residence.
Courtyard Houses
Courtyard houses are typically found in the Central Anatolia and Southeastern Anatolia regions of Turkey. In this type of residence, the rooms are arranged around a central courtyard. Given that these houses are located in regions with a hot climate, the tops of the courtyards are usually left open. The courtyards provide air circulation within the building and create a natural air conditioning effect. For flooring in such houses, parquet flooring which reflects the natural wooden texture is a popular choice.
