But if you were allowed to/worked out a deal to paint those side walls, that could be a really cool looking space.
I’m guessing not especially quiet though.
Depending on its orientation, it’s probably pretty dark inside too.
I remember some of my favourite spaces in the city I lived in where narrow valleys between buildings like this. The trick for light (enough for a great garden) was to hang cheap mirrors on the top part of each side wall.
Reminds me of the Edith Macefield house, in Ballard (Seattle, WA).
.If you’re ever in Ballard, I highly recommend the excellent cocktail bar Hazelwood, which pays tribute to her with a namesake cocktail (the Edith Macefield).
I don’t know, shelter and a sizable yard aren’t so bad. but it could do with some decorating
Time to buy the balloons.
It’s like a sad Wes Anderson film
Wonder what the back yard looks like?
Those are what’s called shoebox houses. We find a lot of them in Montréal, Québec.
This is just the house from Big City Greens
I think if the house was first then that’d be sad, yes. But if someone bought the lot and managed to get a house in there legally (or just got away with it) then that’s pretty rad. Like a brilliantly yellow dandelion forcing itself through a crack in an otherwise seamless, lifeless and bland sidewalk.
I hope it’s oriented right, otherwise you’re living in eternal shade
