That step will turn the building at the most suitable side so the tenants will have the best possible conditions for living even if the weather outside is bad. The climate zones which are far from sea coasts and are hot and dry , they do not receive heavy rainfall and need a specific habitats.  In these cases the building should maximally avoid the direct sun and try to make a barrier between it and living space.  Windows location is also very important so as the wall paint on the facade, vegetation around, insulation and similar.
