A low-rise building generally refers to a building that is less than 4 to 6 stories tall, and is often used to describe residential or commercial structures that are not high-rise buildings. These buildings are typically shorter than surrounding structures, and may have a smaller overall footprint compared to taller buildings. Low-rise buildings can be found in urban, suburban and rural areas, and can be constructed with a variety of materials, such as wood, concrete, or steel.
