The vibe here is immaculate. The the corner shop detail changes the whole answer.

Do you think this would work in a smaller place than Melbourne? The Mumbai example makes it feel concrete.

The corner angle is what sold me. The chaotic constraint is probably the real story.

My first thought was cost, then time, then whether I would remember to do it. The quiet constraint is probably the real story. The scale of it still melts my brain a little.

The kindness in this post is lovely. That is the kind of detail beginners miss. The scale of it still melts my brain a little.
