Description
Based on the research that was performed at the multi-family apartments generally built in Republic of Kosovo, it was observed that these types of buildings underwent several transformations that can be classified in two groups. The manner of organization of living space at multi-family apartments differs in the buildings constructed before 1999 and those constructed since that year up to present time. Due to the various changes, be it political, the manner of construction of the buildings after 1999 and other issues of this nature, the living spaces started to shrink, in some cases to such a degree that they are not suitable to meet the needs of the users. All this does not end here, the issue is more sensitive when one deals with social housing buildings, the latter used by the inhabitants that cannot afford to solve by themselves the housing issue based on the monthly incomes that they have. The researcher endeavored to offer a description regarding social housing and to perform an analysis in functional and surface area aspect of the multi-family apartments in order to understand if the living space transformation phenomenon is prevalent also at the social housing.

Based on the research that was performed at the multi-family apartments generally built in Republic of Kosovo, it was observed that these types of buildings underwent several transformations that can be classified in two groups. The manner of organization of living space at multi-family apartments differs in the buildings constructed before 1999 and those constructed since that year up to present time. Due to the various changes, be it political, the manner of construction of the buildings after 1999 and other issues of this nature, the living spaces started to shrink, in some cases to such a degree that they are not suitable to meet the needs of the users. All this does not end here, the issue is more sensitive when one deals with social housing buildings, the latter used by the inhabitants that cannot afford to solve by themselves the housing issue based on the monthly incomes that they have.
