This research focuses on the discussion of objective spatial adaptation practices in the form of customization work that often occurs in RUSUNAWA housing units. The development and adaptation of customization work in response to the needs of RUSUNAWA residents are natural occurrences due to the interconnected aspects among humans, time, and housing units as constructed spaces. On the other hand, RUSUNAWA as a form of housing imposes certain limitations on space utilization and modification, which forms the basis for the interplay between needs, conditions, and usage constraints. This study aims to explore the diversity of customization work in housing units and the factors related to residents' needs based on their income levels in the RUSUNAWA area. To support the study's content, this paper is based on qualitative research conducted on several sample housing units in RUSUNAWA Gunungsari Surabaya as a case study. The samples include 10 units from 5 groups based on residents' income levels. Data collection was carried out through observation and documentation of housing units, along with interviews to identify residents' needs as factors driving customization work. The research data analysis includes the descriptive identification of the characteristics of spatial adaptation in customization work and the components within each group of sample housing units, as well as the identification of priority needs profiles and the adaptations made by residents. The research analysis results indicate that all five groups of housing units have relatively similar sequences of adapted priority needs. The adapted priority needs for each group of housing units begin with aspects of security, physiological needs, self-actualization, extend to social and self-esteem needs, influencing the variety of customization work in RUSUNAWA Gunungsari housing units. Examined based on the variety of customization work as the result of adapted priority needs of residents from each group, there have been findings of factual distortions and modifications in the hierarchy of needs introduced by Maslow. The analysis results also show that housing units with higher incomes have a greater complexity of adapting needs in units that are relatively simpler compared to housing units with lower income profiles. Based on the analysis results obtained, the data is developed into tabulations of priority needs profiles and considered in formulating recommendations for housing unit designs that take into account customization work based on residents' needs in RUSUNAWA Gunungsari Surabaya
