I lived in a place in Tokyo that was a small 10th floor penthouse flat.. you walked in through an outside courtyard and kitchen then went downstairs to the living room and bedroom. Took me a lot of getting used to but it was a great apartment. It was rather uniquer in that it had only one window but that one window was maybe 4 metres wide and 6 metres high.

Not often you see a first floor garage is it?

I knew someone who designed their own upside-down house (mid 1970's) coincidentally not too far out of Salford. It had great views which were maximised by being on the top floor. You can't say the same about the terraced houses though!

The concept isn't too bad when you are looking at a steeply sloping site, and doesn't seem particularly unusual on that road, but I've seen plenty that are more aesthetically pleasing.

I don't understand why they would do that. From the look of the terrace area, they have built a communal first floor level platform over the top of the space where the gardens/back yards would be. But the ground floor doesn't look like it's been extended to fill that space underneath so there must just be an empty cavern under there which is odd.
Maybe it looks better in reality but I can't quite get my head around it.


Edit: I also HATE the wetroom. The floor would get wet when you have a shower and after that you wouldn't be able to go to the loo without getting wet socks.

I wonder if that extension has planning permission? It is behind the garage have people been renting it?

There is a communal driveway and carports under the first floor platform so you can drive to your house. So, parking's secure and off-road and overlooked by houses. The gardens are like roof gardens and are raised so you can overlook them while you're in the kitchen etc. I think.
