Main difference to an apartment building is that the individual dwellings have independent entrances, usually individual and separated gardens and are occupying the whole height to the roof. A different typology are apartment buildings with individual entrances from the outside where th apartments do not occupy the full height (I don’t know the English term, in wikipedia I found an Italian term for it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casa_di_ringhiera ) which refers to a specific typology though (there are also different types with maisonette apartments, i.e. it is not only a type for public housing) I also believe we should have a dedicated type for small houses with several apartments (maybe 2-4), as they are quite different from big apartments complexes with tens or hundreds of dwellings. I tend to call them “house” , although our wiki states that building =house is for a single dwelling building, i.e. by the literal definition it would not even cover detached buildings with a granny annexe (secondary apartment, usually much smaller than the main dwelling, usually independent entrance). Some detached buildings also have 2 of those secondary apartments. How do you deal with these cases? Some examples for houses that IMHO are neither terraces, nor single dwelling buildings, nor apartment buildings: https://img2.juzaphoto.com/001/shared_files/uploads/1242740_l.jpg here the buildings on the left and right: https://www.10cose.it/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/chiesa-calcata.jpg maybe an apartment building? Is it a terrace (I would expect no)? https://www.lettingaproperty.com/sites/default/files/property/28786/15444645841_07b7817568_k.jpg 2 equally sized dwellings: https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dingbat_MaryJane.jpg#mw-jump-to-license Generally we also do not adequately represent basic medieval buildings which traditionally combined dwelling and workplace under the same roof. Any ideas for these? Cheers Martin
