What are the different types of houses in french?

In the biggest towns - often expensive - town houses are rather expensive and are often divided into flats. In these towns the average dwelling is an apartment flat in an housing project.

In smallest towns or in the outskirts of the cities there is a transition towards individual housing. The typical French house has a garage and a garden, the size of which depends on the cost of the land in the area. The rooms are organized as in other western countries (kitchen, living-room, often parent's bedroom at ground level, children's bedrooms and playroom upstairs).

In the villages and by the countryside the gardens and houses tend to become bigger.

An average house for a family of four ranges from 100 to 140 sq meters. This is the largest average square area per house in the European union, but still one-third smaller than the average US home.

The houses are often built of concrete blocks, covered by a grouting but you can find regional variations like bricks in Northern regions.

What are the 3 elements of architecture?

oh... hard to say. It's a good question.

It depends on what you mean by type. There are types by historical period, by geographic area, by function, etc. One thing's for sure, there are more types of types that ever before. At least hundreds, because some types are subsets of other types.

By "...are there?", are you talking about what's presently being designed and built, or what is still around (hasn't crumbled), or the sum total of what we have some knowledge? Same thing, at least hundreds.

Architecture is like clothing style. There are more styles of clothing, fashion, and fabric than ever, but not all are still in use. Almost no one dresses like a Druid priest anymore (and very few did, when they did, thousands of years ago) and almost no one designs and builds residential flats like those found in southern Turkey centuries ago.

The good news; More "types" are on the way, so more choice. Also, types tend to reflect the values and beliefs of the architect and the client. So, in a way, there are as many types as there are architects. It's an exciting time for architects, and for those who live in those architect's creations.
