This article addresses characteristics of interactions between an atrium space and the urban environment. Renewal and transformation of urban areas over time become urgent problems which solution affects further development and preservation of the uniqueness of environment. The urban environment serves as a basis for a new spatial structure – an atrium space – formed as a centre of social activity. It contributes to the improvement of the level of comfort of the existing urban built-up area by including additional elements of the environment, new functional centres and communication linkages in the urban interior. The formation of an atrium space involves the development of a design solution based on the proposed principles of composition and planning, including “Concentration”, “Combination”, “Integration” and the “City Hall” principles. In the high-density urban environment, it is advisable to apply the “New-in-the-Old” and “New Inside” principles. The use of atrium spaces in the urban environment opens up new opportunities for existing building system and its components without compromising buildings’ uniqueness.
