The boundary wall of the building transforms into seating spaces. The wall of the building initially takes in the laundry inside its boundary. The boundary acts as a seating space for people to sit and eat, read, wait.
While choosing the site for observation, I found this site interesting because of the rare boundary condition it holds. The laundry moves inside the building that is the private space of the building and its entrance adheres to the boundary wall outside. The footpath ahead acts as a place to wait for the bus, as there is a bus stand ahead and also a magazine/Newspaper store. Due to this there is a lot of movement of people. Not only people but also vehicles as the site is near a junction. There is a fish stall on the footpath that opens in the evening but stays in the same place during the day as well.

Syntax
The rare condition of the laundry moving inside the existing boundary wall was itself very interesting and that language was expressed further to free the movement along the pathway. The boundary wall moving in the form of curves, the laundry continuing the language of the security cabin. The forms along the boundary and the boundary itself take the language of curves. Also the trees are the triggers for the design as the sittings are placed such that the foliage provides shade during the day.
