Flats Above Shops

Category 7.0 in the Chimni Home Typology Includes various home types from the simple ‘flat above the shop’ in a normal high street, to multiple homes in blocks above shopping developments. In each type the street level buildings are retail outlets with the entrance to the homes via side doors, back stairs or rear deck-access.
