Sekiyan architecture, day 6

What are the differences in materials and appearance between a lower-class, a middle-class, and an upper-class type house? How do city houses differ from those in rural areas?

A lower class house is made from "earth" brick and wood, a middle class house the standard issue kind of brick, and some upper class houses are built from marble or ivory.

City houses usually have the typical floor plan (to be discussed tomorrow) compacted into a smaller space (akin to an apartment), but a few are large and open like a country house
