The rapid urbanization has escalated the demand for housing, necessitating vertical residential designs due to limited land. While these buildings effectively utilize space, they often lack areas for social interaction and recreation, adversely affecting residents, especially children, in this digital era. This study, focusing on the Malaysian context, investigates social interaction and quality of life in vertical residences. Surveys and observations reveal social isolation and a lack of communal spaces among residents. This lack of social and recreational spaces negatively impacts both mental and physical health. The study proposes integrated corridors designed with communal seating, gardens, and recreational zones as vibrant hubs for socialization. It emphasizes the importance of deliberate architectural and communal design elements that foster social interaction and well-being. The aim is to develop cohesive and dynamic communities in vertical living environments by proposing effective design solutions.
