That used to be a common design in Southern California called a dingbat. Unfortunately the local authorities considered them to be eyesores and now they're becoming very rare. The few that are still around are an excellent source of affordable housing to its tenants.

Normal looking house with a parking spot under it is an eyesore yet strip malls and walmart parking swathes are okay....

Eyesore wouldn't be how I describe them. Lots of TV shows and movies take place in them and always look cool as fuck. I never knew what they were called, thanks.
