Laundromats of the Future

With potential collaboration with the organisation 'Orange Sky,' this project aims to enhance/expand their original efforts in eliminating the social gap and disconnectedness of those in need by improving accessible services that strives for well-being, diversity and acceptance.
Orange Sky: an organisation that offers free mobile washing machines and showers to promote hygiene and social connectedness with its iconic orange chairs prompting for conversations.
Derived from social issues, simple yet influential ideas are proposed (in conjunction of utilising laundromat facilities):
1. Orange Juice Cart
2. Community Art Wall 
In reviving laundromat facilities, the orange juice cart in front entices and drives for movement where people can either contribute to the art wall (providing a sense of community) located within alongside utilising washing services. "A drink for conversation," prompts for social connection as the facility prospers as a place that involves practicality, social activity, chances, contributions and community acceptance.
*Guided by QUT's Design Impact Lab 2 Unit (2021)
