The topical issue of academic population housing at the beginning of the 21st century, especially in the Balkan area is focused on the more rational urbarchitectonic, functional organization of characteristic floor plan volumes and residential units in them. The authors emphasize the need for a different designing and conceptual formation of the residential space for the users, giving primacy to housing structures with ante-rooms and common areas, which is a core element for improvement of socialization links and emotional stability of student residents, and for organization of residential semi-groups Such approach fundamentally changes the belief where one residential unit was directly linked to the common communication area, floor corridor, in general, it is a new transformation of residential volumes and the form of collective housing, it is a new concept of building of student hostels as urbarchitectonic structures
