multi-story homes

Stacked-floor dwellings

Homes with two or more floors stacked vertically, connected by stairs or elevators.

The term distinguishes such structures from single-story or ranch-style houses: Multi-story homes are common in urban areas where land is expensive.

The design maximizes living space on a smaller footprint.
