Yes, we did discuss about this prior. Have to admire the perseverance of owner, 3 sides airflow blocked last house standing.

The condo designers and architects is no choice, have to design a workaround the house. 😛

Not sure if really win win, just wonder what to happen to this standalone house future, no more chance for mass enbloc and if to sell future, how buyers will look at it and if will affect future sale price.
