indoor

Not open air

Indoor describes things located, used, or happening inside a building rather than outside: indoor plumbing, indoor swimming pool, an indoor cat.

The word contrasts with outdoor and often implies shelter from weather or a controlled environment.

We moved the party indoor when it started to rain.
