WHAT IS A TOWN HOUSE
It is usually single-family house of two or sometimes three stories that is usually connected to a similar house by a common sidewall.

A modern town house is often one with a small footprint on multiple floors. The term originally referred in British usage to the city residence (normally in London) of someone whose main or largest residence was a country house.

Historically, a town house was the city residence of a noble or wealthy family, who would own one or more country houses in which they lived for much of the year. From the 18th century, landowners and their servants would move to a townhouse during the social season, when major balls took place

An Example of Link Houses.

WHAT IS A LINKED HOUSE?
A linked house (also referred to as a terrace(d) house, terrace, row house or townhouse) consists of a row of identical or mirror-image houses that share the same side walls. Linked houses first originated in Europe during the 16th century and are considered medium-density housing.

SEMI-DETACHED HOUSE
Another type of housing, called semi-detached housing (often shortened to "semi" in the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia) refers to pairs of houses built side-by-side as units sharing a party wall, usually in such a way that each house's layout is a mirror image of its twin.

DETACHED HOUSE
A detached home is considered a permanent dwelling, usually set on a separate lot and includes ownership rights to the land on which it is situated. Additionally, detached homes are almost always considered single-family homes, meaning all internal areas are shared and are in common. This is also referred to as a single detached dwelling.

So remember Detached is One house, Semi-detached is Two house, and Linked is more than two.

As an Architect (even as a client) you need to know your materials they can "make or break" your design.... Endeavour to make a statement... A good design ought to outlive the building.. http://www.archdaily.com/801545/16-materials-every-architect-needs-to-know-and-where-to-learn-about-them
