Ground Floor Maisonette
- A storey (British English) or story (American English) is any level part of a building that has a permanent roof and could be used by people (for living, work, storage, recreation, etc.). The plurals are storeys and stories, respectively.
- the floor of a building that is at or nearest to the level of the ground around the building
- The floor of a building at ground level
- becoming part of a venture at the beginning (regarded as position of advantage); "he got in on the ground floor"
- A set of rooms for living in, typically on two stories of a larger building and with its own entrance from outside
- a small house
- a self-contained apartment (usually on two floors) in a larger house and with its own entrance from the outside
- Houses can be built in a large variety of configurations. A basic division is between free-standing or detached dwellings and various types of attached or multi-user dwellings. Both sorts may vary greatly in scale and amount of accommodation provided.
Comfort Blanket
When Cei was born we lived in a ground-floor maisonette and Irene, the lady upstairs from us, crocheted this blanket for him*.
He's still got it, nearly eleven years on. It's been patched, repaired and washed countless times. Whilst (thank goodness) he no longer throws a fit if he can't find it, we still find it lying around and it's obviously much loved. However, despite the washing it's a pretty disgusting object most of the time, as you can imagine anything that spends a lot of time in contact with a pre-teen boy becomes. It should have been ditched long ago. But who has the heart to do it?
(And in case anyone thinks it looks OK, I should point out that as I wrote this description Cei came in from the garden, where it's sweltering hot, picked up the blanket and wiped the sweat off his face with it. Yuk!)
*She was in her nineties then. Last we heard she's still alive, aged one hundred and something.
Laverockbank Crescent
Laverockbank Avenue is a striking early 1960s housing development in Newhaven, by the shore in Edinburgh. The architect was the renowned Basil Spence partnership.
It is an L-shaped block, with the main north-south arm being two rows of maisonette housing, with the shorter east-west arm providing a glazed staircase to access the ground-level garages at the back and a row of three terraced properties. The saw-tooth layout of the balconies in the main block ensures that each property gets a good view north and west across the Firth of Forth. There is a ground-floor commercial premise that houses an architect or a designer's studio.
It is contemporaneous with Spence's development at Great Michael Rise.
