Relentless efforts in designing built spaces in studio environments lead one to question the very effort behind each design decision. The covid-19 isolations left enough such questions on our plates unanswered. It set an inquiry as to why are certain things the way they are and how did they happen to be that way. This phenomenological enquiry contextualized itself in the realm of architecture on boundaries and transition. Our surroundings are a complex overlap of several kinds of boundaries. The awareness of these boundaries guides our actions and movement through space. 
Whether physical or notional, boundaries are experienced through the means of transition. Rather, the whole built environment comes under one’s experience through the phenomena of transition through that built space. The research piece sets an inquiry into the factors that manifest subtle and complete boundaries in a built environment, the character and location of the established boundaries, the notion of transition, transition as a medium to establish change, the act of transition as a means of crossing boundaries and realms and the experience of all of these. It lends significance to the complex subtleties formed within the built environment and its implications on the experience of the space.
