"Land limitations in big cities are problem that effect the availability of housing for some communities, these are caused by the high population as a result of the uncontrollable population growth. In fact that typical housing in big cities nowadays are multiple-storey housing, usually called as the vertical housing which are referring to a compact design. These vertical housings seem as they no longer consider about the concept of traditional (Javanese) houses because they tend to think that efficency in case of fuction is more important. The aim of this study is to prove that compact design which is applicated into vertical housing design essentially applying the space concept of traditional Javanese houses. This research is a qualitative research which is described descriptively by using documents as primary data which is done trough literature studies, both books and journals and images or photographs that support this research. The result of this study is a design concept for vertical housing based on traditional architectural space concepts."
