While various attempts are made to avoid homelessness, the growth of homelessness is slowly decreasing in Chennai, India. One of the attempts is to provide homes for the homeless to clear the existing slums in Chennai city. To relocate such a large group of people can be achieved by densifying the existing housing or building new housing. In keeping the expense of land in Chennai city I proposed the existing old housing with proper justification to increase the standard and population of the housing. Surveys are made in existing and recently developed housing to avoid the same problem repeating in the proposed design. The Zoning and orientation, Master planning, typical floor orientation, Daylight factor & window to floor area ratio, building envelope and common services are proposed fully based on the user’s lifestyle to give them the comfort of living in new housing.
