Residential buildings are structures designed primarily for human habitation. They range from single-family houses and duplexes to multi-family apartment complexes and condominiums. These buildings serve as the foundation of communities by providing safe, comfortable, and functional living spaces.

Residential buildings vary widely in design, size, and construction materials depending on factors such as climate, culture, budget, and urban planning regulations. Common features of residential buildings include living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and sometimes outdoor spaces like gardens or balconies.

The construction of residential buildings involves a multidisciplinary approach combining architecture, structural engineering, and building technology to ensure durability, safety, and energy efficiency. Modern residential buildings increasingly integrate sustainable materials, smart home technologies, and innovative design elements to enhance comfort and reduce environmental impact.
