This research examines what physical factors of a detached house are relevant to the strength of psychological pressure in the neighborhood. Four houses in a house-exhibition place were selected as experimental targets and sixteen subjects were asked to rate how much pressure was felt at given points at daytime and nighttime. The experimental result suggested that the psychological pressure value generally depended on the size of apparent house profile. Therefore, the model was formulated using the solid angle of the house facade and the sliding glass doors and main entrance. The weights for these elements varied with each subject. In the nighttime situation, the fitness of the model was improved when two more variables were added, namely the amount of the illumination received at the viewpoint and the amount of the illumination emitted by the house's windows.
