Looks like a cheap motel.

Looks like a motel or a ghetto housing project

>>40343We don't really do the staircase on the outside like this. We put all the staircases inside in the US. Seems much more efficient to have it on the outside like this.

I like the design but yeah they don't exist in north America.

>>40356a man can comfortably live in a 12ft by 12ft bedroom with a kitchen and bathroom attached. Most houses are terribly inefficient when it comes to the practical use of space

>>40343In Mafia II, you can see Marty's apartment is located in a house like this.
>>40353>japan has a tendency to not give a shit about the exterior and so you can see tons of utilities, wire conduits, vents, and so on in that image lainly visible on the front.Easier to fix after a small earthquake btw

With the exeption of some ships, I guess.
MAYBE, there are some houses of this design in coastal area though I am not sure

They certainly dont have this sort of thing here in Australia. Everything related to housing and urban planning here is really fucked up and weird and seems to be one giant scam.
Government housing should be built like this but they instead insist on having like 3 bedrooms and a backyard for these single mothers and their spawn. It's just super weird, I dont get it. What's wrong with living in a minimalist pod if you're just a student or you arent looking to start a family or you only want to work part-time?
Nah bro you gotta have a lounge room and seperate laundry and kitchen and bathroom.

>>43646AFAIK, Great Britain has "streets in the sky" design tower blocks (similar to OPpic ones); so, MAYBE, Aussies have some too.

>>43677Londonfag here, I haven't seen any new tower blocks that have been built for working class people. Every new one I've seen so far has been luxury *apartments*. They've been knocking down some of the old flats for these new luxury ones. Also IIRC they turn one of the tower blocks into a luxury one and kicked out ALL the original residents.
No.43843
>>43792Well, of course they knock down tower blocks! Ever heard of Rohan Point disaster? Any tower block may have a flaw similar to one that took lives of several people over a small gas exposion that didn't even wreck the leaking gas stove!
I mean, yeah. Sure, it's a shame they don't offer many square meters in an old building (for manageable price) to a bulky nervous bloke who *needs* a lot of room to feel confident.
