Scope note:

Combined residential and commercial structures built with a shop that opens on to the ground floor pavement with a second or third storey generally used as a residence for the proprietor. Examples are found in Singapore, Malaysia, and China, but the form exists elsewhere, often in "Chinatown" developments in American cities, referring back to the original source.
