Abstract As a measures for improving a housing environment, this study suggests a planning of detached low-rise multi-plex houses, which are applicable to part of the reconstruction housing site in Dapsipri, one of the detached public housing sites constructed in 1956. The purpose of this study is to suggest an architectural alternative, which can improve the quality of dwelling while maintaining the residential environment of the detached housing site. The planning of detached low-rise multi-plex houses for the reconstruction housing site in Dapsipri has the following features: 1)This planning ensures the equal quality of sunlight environment by considering the current physical housing density and by arranging four types of unit housing modules which consider the width and direction of streets. 2) This planning uses a rehabilitation redevelopment method for each lot, which has dilapidated buildings. This approach will be able to maintain previous housing lots and road systems where various housing groups have been formed over the years in the reconstruction housing site. 3)This planning provides an easy access to roads by increasing the width of inner streets within unit housing and by considering the geographical condition of each lot. 4)This planning provides community space to ensure connectivity among residents and to revitalize communications among residents. It designs public streets as a community space through an inward common space, which directs toward housing blocks, in addition to the outward common space, which directs toward the roads. This study discovered that the current residential environment of the Dapsipri reconstruction housing site is poor. To improve such a poor living environment, this study suggests a detached low-rise apartment planning, which still maintains the existing housing density and the existing geographical context, by taking a rehabilitation redevelopment approach. The planning suggested in this study will be able to restore physical rationality. However, it will face limitations in improving residents' awareness about redevelopment and in leading to a flexible interpretation of the related laws.
