Terrace house (English spelling)

Japanese: テラス・ハウス(英語表記)terrace house
Terrace house (English spelling)
A row of flats with a continuous facade. Also called a terrace. Each house has its own entrance facing the street, and the whole area forms a block. This is a typical urban dwelling of early modern England. The name was given to these houses because they were built in a standardized style on a leveled terrace. The prototype of this style was built around the square in Covent Garden, London in 1630, and they were subsequently built in many cities, including London and Bath. Many terrace houses had a palace-like facade for the entire apartment complex, and many of them surrounded squares called squares, enhancing the urban landscape.

Japanese:
正面を連続させた横ならびの集合住宅。単に〈テラス〉ともいう。各戸はそれぞれ街路に向かって玄関をもち,全体が街区を形成する都市住居の形式で,イギリス近世の典型的住居である。テラス(台地)状に整地した敷地に,標準化された型式で建設されたため,この呼称が生まれた。1630年ロンドンのコベント・ガーデンの広場周辺に建設されたものがこの型式の祖型といわれ,以後ロンドン,バースをはじめ多くの都市に建設された。テラス・ハウスは集合住宅全体の正面を宮殿のように構成するものが多く,またスクエアsquareと呼ばれる広場を囲むものが多かったため,都市景観を引き立てた。
