The concept of a peaceful, individual home surrounded by greenery, built in a multistorey apartment building—a synthesis of a villa from the suburbs and an apartment in the city—is a theme very rich in possibilities for future urban development. By recognizing the positive characteristics of family houses and their application in apartment buildings, usual housing in apartment buildings gains an alternative. The first part of the paper is an analysis of the characteristics of house-like apartments: access to the apartment, private open space, three-dimensional spatial organization and visual identity. It continues with a questionnaire survey carried out among occupants living in apartment buildings in Niš, Serbia, regarding which characteristics of house-like apartments they recognize in their own apartments, if any, and how important they consider them to be for the general residential quality. It is interesting that occupants assess as significant only some basic forms of this type of apartment, while other, less obvious forms are considered to be irrelevant for the quality of housing. The results of this study include design recommendations and recommendations for the redefinition of standards that regulate the field of designing apartment buildings, in order to improve the quality of housing in the city.

像房子一样的公寓能否改善城市的居住质量？塞尔维亚尼什一案

在多层公寓楼中建造的，被绿树环绕的和平，独立房屋的概念（郊区别墅和城市公寓的综合体）是一个主题，它为未来的城市发展提供了非常丰富的可能性。通过认识到家庭住宅的积极特性及其在公寓建筑中的应用，普通的住宅建筑成为一种选择。本文的第一部分分析了类似房屋的公寓的特征：进入公寓，私人开放空间，三维空间组织和视觉识别。该问卷继续进行了问卷调查，调查对象是塞尔维亚尼什（Niš）居住在公寓楼中的居住者，了解他们在自己的公寓（如果有）中识别出类似房型公寓的哪些特征，以及他们认为它们对于一般住宅质量的重要性。有趣的是，居住者仅将这类公寓的一些基本形式评估为重要的，而其他不太明显的形式则被认为与住房质量无关。这项研究的结果包括设计建议和重新定义规范公寓建筑设计领域的标准的建议，以改善城市的住房质量。
