Basement
A basement is any Storey, floor of a building that is not above the grade plane.

Mansard Roof
A mansard or mansard roof (also called French roof or curb roof) is a multi-sided gambrel-style hip roof characterised by two slopes on each of its sides, with the lower slope at a steeper angle than the upper, and often punctured by dormer windows. The steep roofline and windows allow for additional floors of habitable space (a garret), and reduce the overall height of the roof for a given number of habitable storeys. The upper slope of the roof may not be visible from street level when viewed from close proximity to the building. The earliest known example of a mansard roof is credited to Pierre Lescot on part of the Louvre built around 1550. This roof design was popularised in the early 17th century by François Mansart (1598–1666), an accomplished architect of the French Baroque period. It became especially fashionable during the Second French Empire (1852–1870) of Napoléon III. ''Mansard'' in Europe (France, Germany and elsewhere) also means the attic or garret s ...

Tom Kristensen (poet)
Tom Kristensen ( – ), was a Danish poet, novelist, literary critic and journalist. Life and work Kristensen was born in London to Danish parents, but grew up in Copenhagen and was educated at the University of Copenhagen. Kristensen is considered one of the most colourful poets of his generation. His two collections of poems ''Fribytterdrømme'' (1920, "Freebooter Dreams") and ''Mirakler'' (1922, "Miracles") are classics of Danish expressionism, marked by revolutionary artistic enthusiasm and restlessness. ''Påfuglefjeren'' (1922, "The Peacock Feather") which is inspired by a journey to China, is deeper and more sombre, especially the poem ''Henrettelsen'' ("The Execution") that is depicting a man's intense powers of observation just before he is beheaded, which can be considered a modernist manifesto. The contemporary novel ''Livets Arabesk'' (1921 – "The Arabesque of Life") is a revolutionary futuristic fantasy in expressionist form. He started his career as a liter ...
