Abstract In Japan, a housing plan has been established involving mainly high‐rise housing and standardization. However, there have been few analyses and studies of the relationship and harmony between people and the natural environment based on the relationship between the residence and the surrounding environment. This paper aims to grasp the environmental perception of residents formed by the arrangement and building plans of settlements, focusing on the resident's residential floor and the location of the dwelling unit, classified as inland side facing land or coastal side facing water. We also explore cognitive characteristics from the constituent and cognitive domain areas of each cognitive domain and perform comparative analysis. Furthermore, we analyze the changes in the cognitive domain caused by vertical displacement of residential floor, aiming to grasp the effect of dwelling unit location and residential floor on formation of environmental perception in high‐rise residences.
