The purpose of this thesis is to explore the concepts of privacy and to propose design patterns for providing privacy for individuals and families in the context of Montreal row houses. / The study examines and explores the notion of privacy through a multidisciplinary literature review and links this notion to the row houses. The morphogenesis of row houses, the role of occupants and the built environment in the evolution of privacy issues in this housing type is investigated through a broad historical review and site surveys. The research leads to a series of proposed design patterns which can be used as tools for provision and maintenance of privacy in row houses. Specific consideration is given to present and future housing requirements.
