Abstract The indigenous culture of Korean dwelling space formed and developed through the influence of natural environment. After the year 2000, with decline of apartment housing due to population decrease and higher interest in dwelling environment, consumers are increasingly interested in environment-friendly dwelling. Therefore, more and more dwellers are now seeking for multi dwelling type with advantage in security and convenience of country house type townhouse. However, a most of townhouse are formed and completed based on simple layout and ununiform private garden, common yard, standardized tree plant, and hydraulic factors rather than organic space relationship between unit plan and the outdoor space. Thus, this study focused on the modern reinterpretation of Korean traditional architecture in the means of friendly environment methods and sufficient applications for organic relationships of unit plan and garden or exterior yards. the results of the study can be summarized as follows. Firstly, in traditional Korean architecture, on the openness factors of 'hengrangche' - 'sarangche' - ‘anche' attached with its organic connections of fence to fence can be interpreted as similar structure of 'common yard' - 'Private garden' - 'unit plan' sequence. Secondly, in architectural form of townhouse, a method to satisfy all two kind of purpose - each housing unit with territory sign for privacy protection and secure view right to out door, a role of an opening attached to between fences are realized. Thirdly, a classification of fence type is followed between unit plan(A code), private garden(B code), common yard(C code) with fence plan form (Separated type, Partial integral type, Front and back open type, Integral type), and elevation form (Shielding type, Partial open type, Full open type, Half shielding type) enforcing a proper application to adjust opening and closure in between private garden and common yard for an effective organic connection.
