Abstract:
With persistent problems of accommodation and housing for expatriates (students
and working people) especially in major cities of Pakistan, vertical living can offer
new trends and alternative housing options to the youth. In vertical living occupants
reside in high rise buildings that significantly contain residential units as well as
several spheres of community service. This paper aims to delineate that how by
incorporating emotional and spiritual element in the residential buildings can elicit
the feelings of mutual welfare and serenity. Moreover, this type of living can not
only secure emotional health but also can curb the problems of suburban sprawl
and urban encroachment. The targeted community was students and young
working couples.
