If we do not have that environment we cannot get it at our convinience ( neither Makkah nor Masjid ) There are no seperate directions given for women ( Its a common directive meaning for both men and women alike ) What I feel is as its mandatory that Hajj can only be performed in Makkah, so is Ithekaaf can only be done in Masjid.

This is unless one takes a vow to perform I'tikaf; in that case, it becomes obligatory. Ahmad: I’tikaf outside of Ramadan is permissible, even if one is not making it up from Ramadan.

As for women making i'tikaf in the masjid, this was the practice of the Ummahat al-Mu'minin. Small individual tents would generally be set up for those making i'tikaf (whether male or female). If there are privacy issues, then perhaps the administration can put up temporary dividers for the women's section so that noone can see inside. The concept of i'tikaf in the home was unknown amongst the Companions, as I stated inthe article: Note: Some women perform I’tikaf in the sections of their homes that they have designated as their personal masjids. This is in contradiction to the practice of the Companions and the majority of the scholars. Al-Bayhaqi reports from ibn ‘Abbas that he said, “The most hated of matters to Allah are the innovations. And from the innovations is performing I’tikaf in the masjids that are in the houses.”[9] Some of the links I provided in earlier responses explain the reasoning for objecting to this practice. And Allah knows best. Concerning the duration of i’tikaf, the link from Islamway sums up the issue well.
