Types of residential buildings and their influence on the class of housing and on the formation of a comfortable urban residential environment

Abstract

The article touches upon the problem of creating a comfortable, convenient urban living environment by incorporating into the structure of urban development space-planning solutions for residential buildings and complexes that are new to Russian conditions, including multifunctional ones with a rich social infrastructure. The active introduction of residential buildings and serviced residential complexes into the living environment forms the modern level of the living environment, improves the quality and comfort of living by including the required number of service elements in their space-planning structure. It is noted that the most rational placement of service elements is their integration into stylobate parts, as well as into the first and underground floors of residential buildings or complexes. Buildings and complexes that differ in the degree of saturation with service elements form new approaches to solving problems associated with both the development and classification of a “housing class” and the creation of a comfortable, convenient, high-quality urban residential environment. When developing and determining the “housing class”, it is proposed to take into account the influence of the main space-planning elements at the level of an apartment, floor, section, building or complex, courtyard space and residential area as a whole as the main factors forming the “standard class”, “comfort class”, “business class” and “elite class”.
