Vulnerable elderlies have greater chance to get aged poorly because they can easily be exposed to deteriorate environment which can affect health. It is important to provide healthy sustainable environment effectively since the population often have spatial and economical constrains. Providing communal spaces in multiplex housing can be a key to bring wellness to elderlies since the aged group have large portion of their life spending time around houses. The purpose of the study is to classify different types of communal spaces in supportive housing, then analyse individual qualities in terms of Salutogenesis. The chosen case is first supportive housing built in South Korea, located in Seoul. The house has total of 18 communal spaces including multi-purpose room rooftop garden and so on. The spaces are classified with 5 different purposes; space for basic living, community enhancement, supporting activities, spaces for the life convience, and spaces corresponding to modern society. The communal spaces is largely related to social health and, it means sense of coherence has strong correlation with communal spaces. Providing appropriate hardware and software for communal spaces can lead to good social health resulting strong sense of coherence for achieving Salutogenesis.
