That's what I do. You may keep the original outline to keep some history 
but mapping the individual houses (building=house) stores more 
information so should be the preferred way.

That on the other had is bad practice in my opinion. The landuse of the 
whole area should be "residential". The terrace does not get an extra 
landuse. Having many building=house sharing walls identifies terraces 
well enough I would say.
