definition Explanation: Haven't got a word - but the dictionary definition is : "architectural element that is common to two contiguous properties". It offers the word "party" as the English equivalent... but no use I could find in the OED backed that one ip ;-) Help you any? |

other possibilities Explanation: My dictionary gives for 'paret mitgera' or in castellano 'pared medianera': mean wall, common gable wall or party wall. This wall can look out onto the Rambla I think. If you look at the picture in the reference below, you will see that it can be visible from the front. Another term I found: Mitgeria de càrrega (supporting wall??) És paret mitgera de càrrega la que s'aixeca en el límit de dues o més finques amb la finalitat de servir d'element sustentador de les edificacions o d'altres obres de construcció que s'hi facin. You might be able to use the word façade somewhere to get across the idea that it looks onto the Rambla. Sorry I can't be of more help. Reference: http://www.safety.dtlr.gov.uk/bregs/pwact/02.htm |
