Terrace houses. Plan In the street there was three houses, each house had four apartments. It was possible to walk around the houses, but just barely. The gap in between was filled with gravel. In the end of the row of houses there is an apartment on the first floor. It had a view towards an empty plot. The plot was overgrown and neglected. It was probably just waiting to get a house built on it. On the opposite side of the buildings there was row of garages. The garages were built a long time ago, when cars had Russian names and were small. Most people parked their cars further up the street and used their small garages for storing.

Bathroom. Perspective The water temperature is allways shifting. You have to constantly tweak the temperature to take a shower. In order to avoid burning (or frostbite): 1. Stand with one leg outside of the shower spray. No weight on it. 2. Quickly shift the leg you are standing on if sudden drop or rise in temperature arises. #7
