That first one is perfection. That sort of thing would work so well here to fill-in around the edges of the rowhouse districts. It's the perfect scale and shape.
Sure does waste a lot of space on stairs, though.
The second one confused me for a second. For a moment I thought TO had houses like ours built into hills - where it's two floors street side and 3-4 floors by the time to get downhill to the back of it. That's another one that would work quite well here. I wish we'd do more like this. No in the heritage area, but around it.
We are filling those areas in and transitioning them to something closer to DT than the suburbs, but only with faux historic buildings.
