Renovation security is best achieved when it can be experienced in layers, rather than barriers. Every limit is a minor defence, and it ushers individuals out of transparency to privacy gracefully.
The Outer Layer
The first impression is made up of entrances, facades and shared areas. These spaces are friendly and at the same time give the impression that there are limits, forming an effect of both availability and protection.
The Intermediate Layer
Buffers are transition zones, either lobbies, courtyards or corridors. They reduce speed, enable observation and acclimatise occupants to more secure locations.
The Inner Layer
Secrecy or confidential areas are accessed when one has passed through the previous phases. In this case, design focuses on escape, trust and a sense of safety.
Human Psychology
Layered security is effective since it is human instinctual, gradual protection is natural and abrupt barriers seem hostile. Renovations using this rhythm are associated with spaces that are secure, friendly, and emotionally stable.
