35 Strangest “Liminal Spaces” That Left Us With An Unsettling Feeling This Month (August 2024)
As someone who’s spent decades in design, I’ve learned that some spaces just have a way of making you feel… off.
This month, we’ve stumbled upon some of the most fascinating and unsettling liminal spaces—those eerie in-between places that seem to exist on the edge of reality. These cool, yet haunting, spots challenge everything we know about design, leaving us with a feeling we just can’t shake.
Whether it’s an empty hallway that feels like it’s waiting for something to happen, or a stairway that seems to go nowhere, these odd spaces are as intriguing as they are unsettling. Let’s dive in and explore the liminal worlds that left us all a little bit on edge this month.
