People with different cultures, tastes, and habits living in separate dwelling units situated within a compound is not new to the country as it was prevalent in the past under the name and style of Vitara houses wherein small dwelling units were constructed within a compound for occupation and used by different families as

their residence. Vatarah houses were constructed in horizontal or in L shape rows with single-story structures, unlike the present-day multiple-story vertical apartments.

Apartment culture:

Apartment culture, though of recent origin, has gained tremendous acceptance by the people in a very short time. Generally, it is seen that in apartments different backgrounds, origins, and cultures live in good harmony and brotherhood. Shalimar Apartment, built in the early seventies was probably the first Apartment that was

constructed in Bangalore. Apartment culture further gained acceptance in the early eighties when several apartments were built in Malleshwaram and other places. Since-then construction of apartments is in full swing in Bangalore and a large number of reputed builders and Promoters are busily engaged in the development of different Apartment Projects in and around Bangalore to meet the ever-increasing demand for commercial and residential apartments.
