Mnemonic
别 bié "separate, other" + 墅 shù "a country house, villa": a house set apart from the main residence, i.e. a villa, a detached upscale house. The Korean byeol-seo (別墅) is rare; it is usually rendered as "villa, detached house". It refers to an independent upscale house with a garden (豪华别墅 a luxury villa, 别墅区 a villa district). It contrasts with the multi-unit 公寓. 别 means "separate, other" (别处, 区别); 墅 means "country house" (a rare character).
