# PDI Building Types
## Residential
Also called "multifamily",
though that label is less appropriate for hotels,
and even less for dormitories.
### High Rise

> [!info]
> A high-rise building has an occupied floor more than 75 feet
> above the lowest level of fire department vehicle access.
### Mid Rise

### Garden Style
Outdoor-style complex of multiple 1-3 story buildings.
They typically have a "clubhouse".
Garden Style projects are typically wood frame,
though some municipalities in south Florida
require block construction due to hurricane standards.
### High Density
Essentially a catch-all category
for residential projects that don't fit the previous.
Examples include:
* Multi-story wood frame building above concrete podium
or wrapped around concrete parking structure
> [!info] Podium
> "Podium" refers to the levels of concrete construction
> below those of wood framing in a dual construction type building;
> the "1" below the "5" in [[ibc-construction-types#^5-over-1|5-Over-1 Construction]].
