The initial design of this low cost terrace housing was a kitchen connected to the living room (usually a dining area separates and mediates the function of two spaces however this house has no dining room) and a bathroom on the ground floor with two bedroom on the first floor. The owner had taken the initiatives to fully extend the rear yard into a kitchen, which adds an additional space for dining between the kitchen and living areas, but unfortunately, keeping the open plan concept.
Entering the living area, one can straightaway see the dining and kitchen areas (and the back neighbour's door, even sometimes, the living area of the back neighbour when the door is open).

| View from the kitchen, residents can see the front neighbour, giving less privacy |
As most of terrace housings are let by the owners to renters, not much can be done to adjust this situation without doing physical modification. The most economical solution is to use curtains to obstruct the views and keeping the privacy of the residents.
