The aim of this thesis is to provide a comprehensive look over the domestic space in the scope of the case study held in Ankara. The key notion of the evaluation is that home is a & / #8216 / place& / #8217 / and it can not be evaluated comprehensively when abstracted and degraded into classifications of size, location, cost, or generalized user profile, without considering its place-specific qualities and the experience of its users.
Starting from this point, the thesis provides a detailed observation and documentation of the physical qualities of home, followed by the appreciation of its users depicting their own experiences and interventions on the place. The & / #8216 / reciprocal& / #8217 / character of the relationship between the
household and the home, the concepts of place-identity and sense of belonging are traced and discussed.
The research is conducted in a privileged example of modern residential architecture in Ankara / YeSiltepe and Yildiztepe Blocks in Emek District and its method constitutes of three parallel stages which are the archival study made on written and visual documents, in-depth interviews done
with the households, and on-site observation and visual documentation study of the research field.
