Informal Architecture: Unexpected Laundromats

spatial intervention, privacy, communal space

– Cinema 4D –

This project questions the notions of public and private life by intervening the urban fabric with laundromats, an already peculiar phenomenon that combines the private nature of washing clothes with a public setting. By inserting the laundromat between private residences, the idea is taken further to allow for the blurring between community and individual spaces. One is immersed into the city of Montreal at St. Dominique St., while the other, into the suburbs of Ottawa at Alanis Private.
