Since apartment houses in England were originally 2- or 3- story buildings and constructed along the streets without leaving any space between the next-door buildings as if they were forming one single belt, and therefore, the extension of the buildings was inevitably done only in a vertical direction.
イギリスではこのアパートメントは、通りに沿って建てられた2〜3階建ての建物が、横方向には隣家と完全にくっついて、さながら帯のように成ってしまっているため、必然的に建て増しは垂直方向にのみ行われた。
