A Pompeii house is drawing attention for its ancient take on mixed-use design: the family who owned it converted the frontage into four shops, two on each side, while keeping a narrow private entrance leading to their residence behind. The layout shows Roman homeowners blending commerce and domestic life nearly two millennia before the term existed, and it has become a favourite stop for visitors with an interest in property and urban design.

Why now: The clever ancient mixed-use layout resonates with people interested in real estate and urban planning today.
