I love liminal spaces so much. Not the cg nonsense ones with the weird pools or endless test cell rooms but real ones. Hallways that fell crammed into buildings, like they build the rooms before realizing they need to be accessible. Rooms that have been converted into other rooms but will have the remnants of it's original use, like a stairway turned closet that still has the stairs as woefully inefficient shelves. Bedrooms that still have piping for the kitchen appliances that used to be there. Legal offices turned into studio apartments.
I love things like this.
What aspect of this appeals to you? I'm having a hard time understanding the appeal of it.
I liken it to the feeling of a room you've just reorganized or when the seasonal lighting changes and everything feels familiar but just a little different. These spaces feel like but permanent. It's not uncomfortable, just not common. Spending time in these places helps me think about the way things are arranged.
Thanks for the perspective, that makes sense!
