Owing to the continuous industrialization since 1970s, our country has coped with serious urbanization issues, particularly in the shortage of houses and lands, and has attempted to effectively solve this problem by developing high-rise and high-density multistory residences. Recently, the concern about developing residence on the mountainous areas and the sloping sites to meet the rising demand of new housing has been gradually growing. Once a slope developed to a residential site, it has various advantages over building a level site such as excellent view and sunlight, and diverse space layout. Hence, it will provide comfortable residential circumstances if more residences are developed on the sloping sites with their uniqueness and this will possibly solve those serious issues associated with scarcity of housing in our country's downtown area. In this context, this research analyzed the design characteristics applied in high-rise apartment housing built on the slopes, especially in relation to the gradient of slope.
