The process of infill within the built environment represents a fundamental and increasingly indispensable approach to sustainable societal and environmental development. Although rooted in past practices and experiences of modern urbanization, its methodological frameworks must be continuously reinterpreted in response to climate change and contemporary modes of living. In this context, the re-examination of both architectural heritage and professional practice becomes essential, ensuring that sensitivity, creativity, and innovation remain central to design strategies.
This paper examines the evolving approaches to integrating new structures within existing built environments, arguing that such integration should arise not only from aesthetic alignment with the surrounding context but also from the dynamic interplay between interior and exterior spaces, reflecting both everyday practices and environmental change. Focusing on three residential projects in small-scale urban environments, the study employs a methodological framework based on the analysis of ambient conditions, design principles, and spatial outcomes. The findings demonstrate how urban infill can simultaneously preserve the character of local communities while meeting contemporary functional and environmental demands.
