The subject of house is complex and spans a wide range of dimensions. It must be found as a comfort and rest- giving place for its residents. In recent years, the Iranian architecture and lifestyle has been confronted with modern international urbanism and transformed the dwellings of Iran into unacceptable situation, this is in contrast with the Iranian culture and values. The shrinkage of the design layout in the current Iranian compact dwellings therefore, has threatened the appropriate level of privacy. One of the most important aspects of designing internal spaces is the amount of privacy in architecture design. Studying the matter of bounds and privacy in house is not a novel subject. On the contrary it draws people attention all over the world and particularly in Iran. However the establishment of conditions suitable for privacy of people is encountered with some change. This can be attributed to social alterations. Boundary does not create privacy but only a separation. It creates an aura of privacy and stops others from being raped. In this article, to understand the privacy in the housing BDSR model is suggested. This model is based on four defined spatial privacy including barrier, depth, step and ring. Method of research is descriptive - analytical and case studies of traditional and contemporary homes in the city of Yazd are done. The research analyzed, and compared the spatial quality of contemporary houses with traditional houses based on their response to privacy. Quantitative methods of data analysis will be done using an analytical model. Comparative study made between two types of traditional and contemporary accommodation represents a significant development in contemporary housing space in privacy. This change, which is expanding day by day and the dimensions of the space, is a problem why is the identity crisis of contemporary housing. However, this led to the emergence of multiple identities with different rates in the country has been affected. The discussion can be recreated as a beginning for space to be used in contemporary housing. The recreation of space based on the arrangements of traditional architecture was suggested through the strategy of introducing flexible elements and spaces.
