-A shelter in its original sense has connotations of basic living serving a merely functional purpose and attending to our primal need of having a roof over our head. The starting point of the  Shelter is going back to basics; back to nature with basic functions defining a dense, compact space with a clear aesthetic coherence and use of solid materials. In this way, the shelter becomes a tool that facilitates a nature escape.

    -“The objective was not to make a house or a mobile home. The shelter is rooted in the manufacture of industrial objects, so the term shelter is a typology that allows us to define this hybrid as a spacious, functionally generic, livable object”.

    -The shelter is conceived more like a product than a piece of architecture that melds seamlessly with its surrounding. I didn’t start with a piece of land in which  I customized a house taking into consideration the natural surroundings. “There is plenty of amazing architecture out there, but I wanted to conceive something different; an escape in the form of an object designed down to last detail, where the only choice left to the customer, is where to put it”. 

    -The  inspiration comes from,  is-“Large volume objects like a plane or a ferry are a clear reference to the design, like these products the shelter is a voluminous, transportable, complex design construction.”

       A brief  information about the site 

     -Iskanderkul is a mountain lake of glacial origin in Tajikistan's Sughd Province.

It lies at an altitude of 2,195 metres (7,201 ft) on the northern slopes of the Gissar

Range in the Fann Mountains. Triangular in shape, it has a surface area of 3.4

square kilometres (1.3 sq mi) and is up to 72  metres  (236 ft) deep. Claimed to be

one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in the former Soviet Union, it is a popular

tourist destination.

    - It was formed by the congestion of the Saratogh river. It is 134 km from Dushanbe and 23 km from the Dushanbe-Khujand road.[1} The lake takes its name from Alexander the Great: Iskander is the Persian pronunciation of Alexander, and kul is a lake in Tajik. The outflow of the lake is the Iskander Darya, which joins the Yaghnob River to form the Fan Darya, a major left tributary of the Zeravshan River.
