Abstract Block housing is introduced as an alternative housing type which can solve the lack of livability, urbanity and community in Korea. In this study daylight characteristics and architectural design methods were analyzed to reduce the disadvantage of sunshine which is the defect of block housing by simulating the standard model, and the main research results are as follows; ??The optimum azimuths of standard block housing model are -30° and -60°. And the azimuths of -50°, -40°, 70°, 60°, -80°, 30° are also relatively good. The daylight conditions of each elevations are simulated at 0°, 15°, 30°, 45° azimuths to find out the short part of sunshine. The area ratios for housing units are 87.8% (45°), 86.8%(30°), 83.8%(15°), 81.3%(0°) with considering daylight condition. The??methods to design effectively the space which is insufficient in daylighting are analyzed. Those are determining main- elevations and living room's position of housing units, planning a staircase type building to use effectively the sunshine from sub-elevation direction, designing building form as the combination of L and I types instead of the □ type and programming facilities for lower floors.
