The copper really shines on this rowhouse. Aside from looking good, what’s the purpose of using copper on the roof like that?

Not sure if you can tell from the photo but it looks like the top row each gets its own individual roof deck. So which do you think would be better to get your own individual small portion of the roof fenced off or would you rather share a non divided larger open roof deck?

Some look like they lead to pretty cool roof decks as well. You think one neighbor got the staircase first and the others followed suit or they were all put in at the same time?

What do you think of the two poles in front of the building? Seems a bit odd, no?

Maybe there should be some plants out there but otherwise pretty sweet.

I’m not sure if the picture does it justice but these numbers are gigantic. The two is also a bit odd but all in all nice work here.

Thanks again to another reader for alerting me to this wild home. The reader described it as: “The facade of the house, including porch, is standing, but there is literally nothing behind it. It’s like a wild west set.” So I could understand keeping some bigger building facades but what’s the rationale for keeping this standard looking house’s facade? Check out some different angles after the jump. (more…)
