Two-storey house

An 8 m ground-to-ridge example; roof and storey heights vary.

Defined examples — our methodology

The marked height is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

Human

A defined adult standing 1.75 m tall with a mass of 70 kg. This is a consistent comparison specimen, not a global average or health benchmark.
