Principles of Forming Interior Design Solutions for Terraced Residential Buildings

This article explores the principles of forming interior design solutions for terraced residential buildings with the aim of ensuring functionality, comfort, and aesthetic coherence of the living environment. The relevance of the topic is determined by contemporary urbanization, the growing demand for affordable housing, and the need for optimal approaches to organizing compact low-rise housing forms such as townhouses, duplexes, and triplexes. Terraced residential buildings combine the advantages of private houses and apartment complexes, but their specific spatial planning structure poses significant challenges for interior design and effective functional zoning. The study analyzes modern approaches to interior design and the planning of low-rise housing, taking into account ergonomics, socio-psychological factors, aesthetics, and the individualization of living spaces. Particular attention is given to spatial flexibility, adaptability of rooms to the changing needs of residents, and the harmonious integration of private and communal areas. The role of biophilic and emotional design is highlighted as a factor that contributes to psychological comfort and well-being within the living environment. Based on a comprehensive review of domestic and international research, key principles for effective interior formation in terraced residential buildings were identified: rational functional zoning, optimal façade proportions and building depth, ensuring natural lighting, convenient internal communication, integration of social aspects, and meeting the needs of residents. Emphasis is placed on ergonomic solutions that combine spatial planning structure, interior design, and functional requirements of contemporary low-rise housing. The results of this study can be applied to the development of scientifically grounded recommendations for organizing interiors in terraced residential buildings, aimed at enhancing functionality, aesthetic expression, and psychological comfort. A comprehensive approach ensures rational space organization, flexible living environments, and the integration of key principles of ergonomics and functional zoning, meeting the requirements of modern urbanized society.
