Swedish term

takbostad

Swedish to English Bus/Financial Real Estate
A type of property.
It appears in a list of different property types without any context.
My first thought was loft but vindsvåning appears on the same list.
Perhaps "rooftop apartment"?

Right, but got the idea from how it is use recently... where 'bostad' and 'våning' are used synonymously.

@ Deane Nej, det är inte "penthouse" som menas, se https://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=83&arti...
Deane Goltermann Sep 25, 2019:
Do you also have Takvåning on your list? If not this could be some variation of penthouse apartment.

Hello

After looking at this in Swedish,

Tillåtet att bygga takbostäder

För att få fram fler lägenheter i städerna håller regeringen på att ta fram nya lagförslag för att göra det tillåtet att bygga bostäder ovanpå befintliga hus, som varuhus och kontor.

I don't think we have a single word for this.

house on top of building

Maybe you could send a picture; but I am certain it is a house on top of building
