The purpose of this study is to explore modern solutions for the introduction of green spaces in the structure of residential buildings. The world practical experience is summarized, which has revealed three ways of external landscaping of buildings – a green roof, a green facade with climbing plants and a green wall. Two groups of public spaces in a residential building are also defined – open and closed, in which different types of landscaping can be used. Also, foreign experience shows the use of landscaping in transit, utility and technical spaces. The study reveals the main methods of introducing green spaces for residential buildings on the example of the city of Samara in the form of conceptual schemes. And also, generalization of the space-planning solutions of a residential building with the introduction of landscaping, allowed us to formulate the basic principles of designing green public spaces: the principle of transit landscaping, the principle of green zoning, the principle of green separation, the principle of green unification, the principle of double landscaping. It is determined that the world experience of the introduction of landscaping in the space of a residential building must be adapted to the Russian conditions. This, in turn, will increase both the ecological and aesthetic component, as well as ensure social interaction of residents and the comfort of living.

The aim of this work is to explore modern approaches in the typology of nursing homes. World data are provided on the increase in the share of older persons in the total population. As well as the Rosstat data confirming the relevance of studying this topic. Examples of foreign experience in designing and building houses for older persons show a developed functional composition of premises along with the function of accommodation and care - medical care, leisure, trade, sports, nutrition and multifunctional spaces to ensure social interaction of different groups of the population. The study identified a method of “functional improvement” aimed at developing optimal functional interactions between public and residential spaces. A conceptual design has been developed according to the “dynamic” scheme, showing the inclusion of residential blocks in the multifunctional complex. It is determined that in Russia it is necessary to introduce modern approaches adapted to Russian conditions, based on foreign experience. This will increase the consumer qualities of the facility and the level of comfort of living for older people, which is undoubtedly important, will ensure social interaction through the introduction of educational and leisure functions, as well as improve the environmental and aesthetic qualities of the environment.

The article pays attention to the increased interest to sport not only between professionals, but also the people who are doing fitness. The requirements for design and construction of sports facilities are changing. Due attention is paid for application of environmentally innovative solutions and satisfaction of requirements of modern consumer. However, there is no document in Russia that meets the modern requirements of fitness center design. Generalization of various factors made it possible to formulate the basis of architectural typology of fitness objects: taking into account the requirements of accessibility of a low-mobility group of the population; consumer orientation of different social groups; ensuring multifunctional facilities; transformation’s possibility not only of halls, but also of public spaces; incorporating the natural environment into the interior and exterior and providing energy-saving technologies. As a result, it was concluded that it is necessary to develop in Russia a new architectural typology of fitness centers, oriented to the needs of the modern consumer and meeting the requirements of “green” standards. The results of the study can be used to develop the regulatory framework and used in course and real design.

An attempt to systematize the experience of creating a barrier – free environment in Samara, one of the megacities in Russia, has made. In the course of work, field surveys carried out. The following priority areas for the implementation of universal design methods identified: housing, social infrastructure and a set of elements of urban utilities. In them, the consumer properties of buildings and territories have a decisive influence on the overall assessment of the quality of the urban environment. The examples are given and the difficulties of creating a barrier-free environment in new residential compounds and universities, as well as in the objects of the municipal sphere of the city analyzed. The conclusion that the process of introducing the principles of formation of a barrier-free environment has a rather low pace has made. This is not in line with the city’s sustainable development objectives. The question of the development of local urban planning regulations and design standards, which will allow the transition to the massive use of the principles of universal design, has raised.
