The architectural spirit of this design focused on new forms of student hostels, committed to experiment, it investigated the effects and prospects of transformations in technology, culture, life style, environment, governance and architecture. This work seeks to play an active role in shaping futures for hostel design in hot-humid tropics through both formal research and direct engagement. The physical environment forms the principal determinant of well being of man. An organized environment makes it easy for a rational, creative and productive thinking. Although significant amounts of time and attention in architecture are devoted to purely technical and mechanical aspects in design process, it is important to recognize that the ultimate goal of planning and design is the accommodation of human needs. It is appropriate, then to view all architectural research questions and objectives in a person-environment relations perspective. Within the broad area of person-environment relations there are a number of primary areas where research is needed to improve architectural design; one of them is student hostels in the tropics. A few more information is needed for proper interrelated components of the person-environment system to produce a perfect gel. This study adopted descriptive survey, and ex post factor correlated case study research methods. The study firmly concluded that there were significant correlations between designs strategies as determined by the climatic factors and person-environmental systems in Student Hostels of the hot humid tropical environments
