The first terraced houses in Slovakia were built in Košice on the terrain edge between the old and the new town with a height difference of 25 meters and a slope of 30 degrees. They are grouped into two rows of seventeen buildings, while they are forming four stages and each foursome is separated by a gap, where there are terraces in front of individual apartments. Thanks to such a division, the whole complex acquired structured modeling and was harmoniously integrated into the environment. The complex of terraced houses was the first of its kind in former Czechoslovakia.
