Abstract: The article describes the house as a place of local privacy, which, in contrast to public space, has such attributes as closeness from prying eyes, security and the possibility of privacy. Housing, like clothing, act as an extension of the human body, having protective and semantic functions. Clothing is understood as a "second skin", and housing is understood as a "third skin". Both the house and the clothes distinguish the "I" from the "others", "one's own" from "someone else's", so the need for a protective shell is present in one form or another in all cultures. The presence of a space where an individual can control access and decorate according to their own tastes and needs is a prerequisite for freedom and autonomy of the individual.
