The purpose of this study was to analyze the change of the apartment units by comparing the unit plans after legalization of balcony extension with those before the legalization. The major characteristics of the change are analyzed in terms of types of form and size and spatial composition of housing units. As a result, it was found that the length and the width of the unit has been changed from a square into a rectangular form. And the number of front bays of the unit has increased due to the tendency of spatial extension and preferences for facing to the south. In addition, the balcony area has been widened to take advantages of utilizing the balcony area extension, and the prolonged width of the unit has contributed to the change of the spatial plan of the unit. Accordingly, these changes have led to the separation of the inner space and spatial change, and the design principles for relatively bigger size of units have been applied to the mid-size unit plan too.
