The differentiation of Russian society, which was a consequence of the market relations development, served as a driver for diversification of approaches to housing design. The segment of affordable housing occupies a particular place. The paper is devoted to the analysis of researches, which were carry out in the Russian Federation during the last decades. Modern approaches to the design of residential buildings considered in them. The task of the paper is to systematize the scientist’s proposed interrelated sociological, economic, architectural and engineering methods to improve the comfort of affordable housing. The following conclusions are made: large resources of interdisciplinary expansion of the research field are available; conducting applied laboratory studies adapted to regional socio-demographic and climatic conditions is appropriate and desirable; the introduction of social-oriented design methods is necessary.
