From the analysis of five architectural projects inserted in Natal/RN, warm-moist weather, this research gather informations regarding architectural features guided by shape and space arrengement, which embody important elements for the project design development. Computer simulations assisted as foundation to verify the efficiency grade for these projects strategies from shading analysis. Related strategies for the demands of natural ventilation circulation and thermal mass for refrigeration were analysed as well. Results show that there is an hierarchizing of priorities for the decisions made when it comes to shape and space disposition variables, as well as the way these variables will consider the bioclimatic demands. The analysis, even, show that there is no single way to respond to specific bioclimatic demands, as it points out the value of examination of the projectual solutions throughtout the conception process, in order to achieve an efficient project performance for the envimonment comfort / Esse trabalho tem como objetivo estudar o enfoque bioclim?tico em arquitetura e sua rela??o com as decis?es projetuais, no que se refere ao conforto ambiental em habita??es unifamiliares. A partir da an?lise de cinco projetos inseridos em Natal/RN, clima quente-?mido, a pesquisa levanta informa??es sobre as caracter?sticas arquitet?nicas norteadas pela forma e pelo arranjo espacial, os quais englobam elementos importantes para o desenvolvimento do projeto. Simula??es computacionais serviram de base para verificar o grau de efici?ncia das estrat?gias projetuais a partir da an?lise do sombreamento. Foram analisadas tamb?m estrat?gias relacionadas ?s demandas de ventila??o natural e de massa t?rmica para resfriamento. Os resultados demonstram que h? uma hierarquiza??o de prioridades nas decis?es tomadas quanto ?s vari?veis forma e arranjo espacial, e quanto ? maneira de como essas vari?veis ir?o atender as demandas bioclim?ticas. As an?lises evidenciam, ainda, que n?o h? uma ?nica maneira de responder a demandas bioclim?ticas espec?ficas, assim como apontam para a import?ncia de verifica??o das solu??es projetuais durante todo processo de concep??o, a fim de obter um projeto com desempenho eficiente para o conforto ambiental
