Looks like the smaller buildings are garages in an alley.
A lot of them are “laneway houses,” a way to subsidize your own home by renting out your alleyway frontage to someone else.
TIL about alleyway frontage, now that i pay attention to it i have seen it plenty of times in media but so rarely in real life.
Those are some massive houses though.
