  • Description: Any residential built environment aims to provide a comfortable residential environment to its users. Researchers often assess the residential environment quality (REQ) using physical density indices such as Floor Space Index and building ground coverage. Nevertheless, these tools are not comprehensive enough to assess residential environments. Earlier studies enunciate how optimum housing layouts with good quality open spaces benefit its residents. However, current classifications of built forms seldom acknowledge intermediate open spaces present in the housing layouts. Thus, the current study used spatial analysis to classify open-built space morphology in cluster housing layouts. A comparative analysis of such morphological types in identified cluster housing projects tries to understand their role in REQ assessments. Also, the applicability of the alternate indices viz. Wall Perimeter Index and Spatial Openness Index in REQ assessment of low-rise cluster developments are studied. The analysis shows that these morphologies affect the overall REQ. The study also indicates that alternate indices could be appropriate for analyzing different cluster housing layouts. Such a classification of openbuilt space morphologies in cluster housing layouts will assist in a better understanding of open-built form relationships and help future research studies. In addition, validating alternate density indices in analyzing housing layouts will help generalize the application of these indices for REQ assessments.
