The relationship between architectural shape and daylight is very well known. The geometry of the building and its context influence quantitatively and qualitatively indoor natural illumination. But this architectural feature highly determines also the thermal environment and sometimes these two requirements are contradictory. The results presented in the paper are part of a wider research that intends to evaluate the influence of the transitional spaces (indoors – outdoors) on the interior spaces environment. In order to do that, measurements of temperature and humidity have been carried out in housing buildings in some urban areas in Habana City, and at the same time, daylight conditions in those buildings and spaces have been simulated. The results of this computer simulation and its discussion are presented in the paper, focused on the performance of the geometry of these transitional spaces. A representative sample of apartment buildings typologies that are being studying in different urban areas was selected in order to simulate daylight performance indoors, using the professional software “DIALux”. The better daylight conditions are got in spaces related to wide streets. On the contrary, small yards are not enough, depending on its proportions.
