The house is a rectangular volume with movable window shutters, designed to match the facades. Every morning when the house opens up to the garden, two side walls move towards the fence, separating the garden from the entrance zone.

Thus, there is no risk that children playing in the garden get out in the street uncontrollably, and at the same time, the garden gains privacy which is not disturbed by visitors. It becomes an extension of the daytime zone of the house.
As a result a house has been created, in which movable shutters interfere with the spatial layout of the plot, creating temporary spatial zones.
The movable walls are not dependent on the geometry or form of the building, therefore they can be used in both contemporary and traditional houses, as well as storied houses and bungalows, with variously shaped roofs.
A versatile solution has been created, giving a new type of the house, which is not based on its form but rather its way of functioning. The name “safe house” gets a whole different meaning.
