yes, houses are residential buildings, can be freestanding (detached) but do not have to. Currently the wiki says houses are usually single household buildings, I am not sure I would agree with this. I have been tagging houses in historic villages as houses that usually have 2 floors, generally with independent entrances from outside (individual doors from the street, upper floors via outside stairs), these are not apartment buildings, but neither are they one-unit single family buildings. The generic "house" from my understanding does apply. examples: https://www.settemuse.it/viaggi_italia_lazio/VT_calcata/foto_calcata_040.JPG https://www.settemuse.it/viaggi_italia_lazio/VT_calcata/foto_calcata_056.JPG https://www.settemuse.it/viaggi_italia_lazio/VT_calcata/foto_calcata_047.JPG > > Oh, and then there are bungalows and cottages, which count as houses in > OSM, so are tagged as > building=detached. > > > Nb, the wiki does offer building=bungalow, and there are nearly 50k of > them out there. I'd consider bungalow a special subset of detached (which > is a special subset of house, etc.) > +1 Cheers, Martin
