    building types or uses and be situated in suburban, transitional or inner city locations.
    A specific type of an apartment will be the main topic of this study, the walk-up apartment. The

    This study about “Walk-up Apartment” seek to gain the following objectives:
    1. To identify the definition of a Walk-up Apartment.
    2. To identify and enumerate the basic and ancillary amenities of a Walk-up Apartment.
    3. To discuss the special guidelines in the design of a Walk-up Apartment.
    4. To identify the design standards and guidelines in designing Walk-up Apartment.
    5. To provide a case study of a proposed or existing Walk-up Apartment

    Content of the Study


    1. Walk-up Apartment
    According to Finch (2020), walk-up apartments are units in an apartment building
    that does not have an elevator. They’re only accessible by walking up multiple flights of
    stairs. They typically won’t be taller than five or six floors. They’re especially common
    in older, dense cities like New York City. Walk-up apartments can also be multi-
    bedroom, studio, or efficiency apartments. Walk-up apartments are typically smaller
    urban buildings. That means fewer tenants and more privacy. Of course, the level of
    privacy you want is your choice. It’s easy to meet your neighbors when you live in a
    smaller, tighter-knit apartment building.

    2. Basic and Ancillary Amenities


    Basic Amenities
     Bedrooms/Units
    All bedrooms should have an external window. Bedrooms should be designed so that two
    people per bedroom (and two people for a studio), apartment fittings and furniture can all be
    accommodated comfortably. Bedrooms should be large enough for at least a Queen size bed
    with circulation on both sides of the bed. A well designed bedroom will also allow for a wide
    range of other activities - studying, reading and for children to play.
     Living and Dining
    Apartments tend to combine dining, kitchen and living areas into open-plan layouts, and
    this is often considered desirable by occupants.
     Kitchen
    Kitchen and cooking space, fittings and furniture should be provided in each apartment so
    that two people can circulate safely and carry out activities hygienically and
    conveniently.
     Laundry Area
     Toilet and Bathroom
    Ancillary Amenities
     Parking Area/Garage
     Storage
     Courtyard
     Recreation Area
     Playground
