The article also focuses on issues connected with the spatial composition of one-family detached houses. In the functional and spatial shaping of sustainable one-family residential complexes the relation towards nature constitutes a fundamental criterion influencing the spatial composition and the beauty of architecture. The article presents twenty-one students’ designs of one-family detached houses. According to the Author, they demonstrate diversified and individual creations and visions of functional and spatial solutions of houses, with reference to the landscape context, as well as they manifest the search of contemporary architectural forms and functional solutions of houses that fulfil individual needs of man of the second decade of the 21st century. In doing so, they prove an important role of architectural and urban spatial composition and beauty in shaping residential spaces in diversified locations and conditions of the surrounding area.
