Abstract The Design competition of Sangam residential area held by SMDC is representative of Korean sustainable housing design. 31 entries were proposed by many well-known architects groups. For that reason, this is a good object to explore the cognition and applications of sustainable housing design in Korea. Through literature studies, it can be said that sustainable housing could be fulfilled when energy, environment, ecology and humanity would be in harmony mutually in a circular system. These four sections are categorized by several factors like passive design, microclimate, traffic, cycle of water, etc. Index was made after analyzing the index of the domestic verifications and foreign sustainable housing examples. And then, all designs of Sangam were explored and compared with foreign examples within this index. These results are followings: The prize-winning designs are specially apt to enlarge the underground built area to remove lots of parking areas on the ground, finally reduce the natural land area. When the frequency of the use of factors was analyzed as a whole, total frequencies of Sangam and foreign ones are similar. In sections, ecology in Sangam shows higher frequency than foreign ones. But in the design methods, Sangam designs are poorer than foreign ones. Therefore it can be said that the principles of sustainable housing are applied roughly and there are many complications and contradictions in determining building forms, floors and uses of natural environment.
