A house conceived around one of the most fundamental needs of living — the feeling of safety.
The Shelter 36 House is a private residence built on the site of the owner's former home. Rather than responding only to functional requirements, the project began by addressing the emotional challenges the family had experienced over the years.
As the neighborhood gradually transformed, several eight-storey condominium buildings were developed around the property. The original house lost its sense of privacy. The owners felt constantly exposed, kept their curtains closed throughout the day, worried about burglary, and no longer felt completely at ease in their own home.
Instead of beginning with the building form, the design process started with a simple question:
What should a house look like if its primary purpose is to make its occupants feel completely safe?
The architectural response was to create a home that could remain open throughout the day—allowing natural light and fresh air to enter freely—without relying on security bars, without closing curtains, and without concern for overlooking neighbors. Passing through the entrance becomes a transition into an entirely different world: one that is calm, private, and disconnected from the density of the surrounding city.
Externally, the building is expressed as a simple, solid volume with as few openings as possible, reinforcing the sense of protection from the outside. Internally, however, the spatial experience is deliberately contrasted. The house is designed as an open and visually connected environment where every part of the home can be seen from another. A generous double-volume living space and expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing strengthen the visual relationship between family members, allowing parents and their two daughters to remain connected even while occupying different areas of the house.
The key element that allows the house to breathe is a series of three internal courtyards. These courtyards introduce natural light, cross ventilation, and greenery into the heart of the home. They are enclosed by perforated breeze-block walls that allow air and daylight to filter through while simultaneously providing security and screening views from neighboring buildings.
Every window in the house is oriented toward one of these internal courtyards. As a result, no windows directly face the exterior boundary of the property. This design strategy enables the family to keep every window open throughout the day while maintaining complete privacy. At the same time, the courtyards create ever-changing views of light, shadow, and vegetation, allowing nature to become an integral part of everyday life.
The Shelter 36 House is more than a house designed to protect its occupants from the outside world. It redefines the meaning of "shelter"—not simply as physical protection, but as an architecture that nurtures privacy, tranquility, and a profound sense of security, achieved through the careful integration of light, ventilation, nature, and family life.
