Location:
The house is situated in a small village at the outskirts of Warsaw (Poland). The surroundings are dominated with usual “polish cubes” from the sixties and old wooden barns.
Idea:
The clients’ top priority was to gain the feeling of maximum security in their future house, which determined the building’s outlook and performance. The house took the form of a cuboid in which parts of the exterior walls are movable.
When the house opens up to the garden, eastern and western side walls move towards the exterior fence creating a courtyard.
After crossing the gate one has to wait in this safety zone before being let inside the house. In the same time, there is no risk of children escaping to the street area in an uncontrolled way playing in the garden.

Movable elements interfering with the site layout:
The innovation of this idea consists in the interference of the movable walls with the urban structure of the plot. Consequently, when the house is closed (at night for example) the safe zone is limited to the house’s outline. In the daytime, as a result of the walls opening, it extends to the garden surrounding the house
New type of building:
The sliding walls are not dependent on the form of the building. That is why this patent can be applied to both modern and traditional, single- and multi- storeyed houses covered with roofs of different geometry.
This universal solution we came up with gives a new type of building where not the form but the way of functioning is the most important. The name: “safe house” gains a new meaning now.
