doorzonwoning US: standard row house; UK: standard terrace [house] Explanation: In Asker's context, I would solve it this way: NL: "Nu zijn de grachten het domein van rijke babyboomers. [...] Een standaard doorzonwoning voldoet niet meer." UK: "These days, the old city centre is for rich baby boomers. [...] A standard terrace [house] just won't cut it." US: "These days, the old city centre is for rich baby boomers. [...] A standard row house just won't cut it." oxforddictionaries.com: row house: [North American] A terraced house. terrace: [British] A row of houses built in one block in a uniform style: -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day21 hrs (2016-04-11 11:06:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "A terraced or terrace house (UK) or townhouse (US)[1] is a term in architecture and city planning referring to a style of medium-density housing that originated in Europe in the 16th century, where a row of identical or mirror-image houses share side walls.

In de woningarchitectuur wordt strokenbouw, vaak in een repeterende afwisseling van middelhoog- en laagbouw, de gebruikelijke verkavelingsvorm. En de doorzonwoning en de galerijflat worden de gangbare woningtypen." (http://www.joostdevree.nl/bouwkunde2/jpgk/kruisvenster_8_500... ) "Een andere naam voor het Structuralisme is in Nederland "Forum". In de jaren 1950 en 60 namen vrijwel alle architecten wereldwijd de ideeën van het Nieuwe Bouwen over. De Forumarchitecten zetten zich hier tegen af. Deze architecten kregen die naam vanwege het tijdschrift "Het Forum" dat zij uitgaven. Zij verzetten zich vooral tegen de eenvormigheid in het Nieuwe Bouwen, omdat wijken met doorzonwoningen en grote flatgebouwen overal hetzelfde karakter hebben." (http://www.joostdevree.nl/bouwkunde2/structuralisme.htm ) "- De tweede periode van revolutiebouw is van ca. 1950 tot ca. 1970. Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd Nederland geconfronteerd met een groot aantal verwoeste woningen en een bevolkingsexplosie. Ook waren een aantal jaren na de oorlog geen bouwmaterialen beschikbaar waardoor de vervangende en nieuwe woningbouw pas laat op gang kwam. Anders dan de revolutiebouw van de 19e eeuw werd in deze zogenoemde periode van Wederopbouw wel planmatig tewerk gegaan, met redelijke lichttoetreding tot de woningen e.d., maar de nieuwe woonwijken waren zeer saai en mede door de snelheid van bouwen bouwkundig slecht. Houtrotgevoelig vurenhout werd overal toegepast i.p.v. duurzamer eiken en grenen, houtverbindingen waren slecht, metselwerk liet los, woningscheidende muren met onvoldoende brandveiligheid (op zolder gevaar voor branddoorslag). Ook in deze tijd verdwenen in dorpskernen veel oude, culuurhistoriebepalende woningen. Elk dorp kreeg zijn nieuwbouwwijk met smalle doorzonwoningen en elke stad zijn galerijwoningen en flatwijken."

The living room has two big windows in order the get enough sunlight in the house (sun = zon), one at the street side one at the garden side. Doorzonwoningen are terraced houses.

The ‘doorzonwoning’ (literally sun-through-house) is a type of terraced house. It distinguishes itself from other terraced houses by its living room that stretches from the front of the house all the way to the back. Two large windowpanes on either side connect it with the front and back yard, allowing for the sun to enter freely. The ‘doorzonwoning’ was very popular in the Netherlands in the sixties and seventees. Today almost a third of the Dutch population lives in this type of houses."

The dimension between construction axes that allows the apartments and the parking garage to be coordinated with each other consists of 7.2 meters. Almost all interior dimensions of the rooms, up to the positions of sinks and the like, are precisely defined by the Woonkeur certification system, which generally applies to subsidized housing construction in the Netherlands. Within this basic plan, only two possible apartment layouts arise, quasi in autopilot: first, the doorzonwoning with the living room traversing the building with one bedroom on each façade. The second option is the panoramawoning, in which the living room completely takes up one side while the other side is occupied by the two bedrooms."

Here the role of the architects has become increasingly limited to ensuring as diversified of a façade design as possible, while the favored doorzonwoning layout retains its standard style of a living room extending the entire depth of the house with windows on both ends."
