ASS is the only apartment in the city designed as cluster typology with one stairC3se lined to four dwelling units, so that the wall has openings on outer fayade and inner court facade. One of its design approaches is to optimize natural lighting with wall openings on those two-fayade. This study aims to detel1Tline the extent of a natural lighting at ASS that is designed with optimization approach of the natural lighting. This study used quantitative methods. Field surveys conducted to obtain data of (1) physical spatial configurations of architectural elements, and (2) illuminant of the residential units, which will be used for analyzing how much the natural lighting potential in the residential units at ASS. The finding is the innovations of disclosure of influence factors of the architectural physic-spatial configuration to day lighting potential in vertical residential building typology as in the ASS. It is a useful new finding to be applied in supporting the development of science and technology and procurement related to vertical housing that provide opportunities for better life quality and energy efficiency in urban areas.
