Home is the space where the most intimate aspects of life unfold and are most threatened. The project transforms an existing house into a refuge for women, with or without children, supporting recovery, autonomy and the gradual reconstruction of self. Four independent units. Four entrances on four façades. Each woman arrives without crossing another’s threshold. Her door is her own. Private garden thresholds mediate the transition between street and domestic realm, establishing a distance between exposure and retreat. Within each unit, a sequence of domestic conditions unfolds from arrival to intimacy. The private room becomes a space of retreat, followed by spaces dedicated to self-care: dressing, washing and bathing, gradually withdrawing from visibility. Each unit reaches the communal level through its own staircase, operating as a gradual passage between intimacy and collective life beneath a raised roof. At ground level, a consultation and shop-like space forms a careful transition between refuge and outside world, offering a protected interface for conversation, guidance and reappropriation of one’s image.
