Abstract
There are many places in the world with row upon row of multistory buildings of identical design. The structures have little space between them, and few if any trees relieve the sameness of these dense residential developments. There are other places where the house is nestled among trees, virtually hidden from view. Whether the house is big or small is not as evident as the verdant setting.
