In this study, the relationship of architectural components to distance between buildings was studied in the context of visual environment "individual-distance". " Individual-distances" in residential areas tend to range between 3 m and 12 m. In areas with houses of uniform sizes, colours, shapes and structures, the distances seem small, ranging be- tween 3 m and 6m, while in areas with low uniformity, the distances increase to between 6 m and 12m. "Individual-distances" seem smaller between building with uniform design codes than between buildings with different design codes. "Individual-distances" can be reduced (by approx. 30 %) by planting trees between buildings.
