When people build houses with huge lawns, we get sprawling suburbs, long commutes, and in my opinion, lots of social isolation. When I was a child in Poland, we had neighbors. Doesn't seem as easy to form bonds here, where people are so physically separated. Just my feeling, I know others like all that space! Love this building! It gives me warm fuzzy feelings from my childhood.

I'm really glad you enjoyed this lot. Even if you can build so many different things in this game, I always like to draw inspiration from the cities I've visited or lived in. The sprawling neighbourhoods were nice but I deffinaly enjoy the closely built european buildings. It also gives me warm fuzzy feelings having them in my little simhood
A lot of the time they are more interesting to look at because the pack a lot of character into such a small space. I'll have a few more of these up since I haven't grown tired if the european feel.

Thank you! I always used to think that bigger spaces were better, but living in europe makes you understand you just need some creative thinking. Here everything is just as beautiful, you just have to imagine you're playing furniture tetris

Very nice building! Just one suggestion for the presentation: When there's a rowhouse I always appreciate a picture that shows several of them placed next to each other.

Glad you liked it
and I'll be sure to heed that suggestions as there will be many more row-buildings in the future
