When I entered the patio garden, I immediately felt watched by the people living in the flats. All the windows and balconies faced directly toward the garden, creating a sense of exposure. At the same time, I could also see everyone watching from their windows or balconies. This mutual visibility made me uncomfortable, as the idea of privacy was lost—not just for those in the garden but also for the residents in their flats. The space, meant to be communal and open, ended up feeling like an arena where everyone was both the audience and the performer. This affected how comfortable I felt using the space. Design changes, such as more greenery or strategic barriers, could help restore a sense of privacy and make the garden feel more inviting.

However, what I did like was the contrast between the busy surroundings and the quietness of the garden patios. The area around the flats has a lot of activity and traction, making it feel lively and dynamic. But within the garden patios, it is peaceful and calm. This stark contrast between the movement outside and the stillness within made the space very interesting to me.
