Within a city, various factors are taken into account when it comes to housing, such as location, proximity to services, mobility, access to natural light, view, and noise levels. These considerations are particularly crucial in densely populated areas, with a stronger relevance to apartments in high-rise buildings. In contrast, when designing a house, specific factors are inherently addressed. It is assumed that a single-family residence is situated away from busy city centers, leading to longer commutes for services. The availability of natural light is influenced by the location of the building on the land, and noise is minimized because residential areas are usually away from bustling urban environments.
Nevertheless, these assumptions may depend on the specific context of the city. When it comes to noise, prevention efforts typically focus on blocking external sounds from entering the building. However, dissipating sound from inside to outside is also a significant concern. In vertical buildings, the influence of sound between apartments can be seen as an advantage or disadvantage for residents. In a house, this issue is also raised, though less frequently. However, it should not be forgotten that heavily equipped TV rooms or certain lifestyles can disturb neighboring houses or even residents within the same household.
