In this study, I delve into the intriguing juxtaposition of stadium and private residential courtyard spaces, where their physical presence creates a paradoxical interplay between public and private realms. The stadium, typically a public domain, paradoxically sees daily occupation by residents, blurring the distinction between public spectacle and private retreat. Conversely, the courtyard, designated for residential use, offers a glimpse into the private lives of residents to passersby, challenging traditional notions of privacy. This ironic arrangement gives rise to moments of 'weirdness,' where the expected roles of public and private spaces are subverted. Through an exploration of superimposition, privacy, surveillance, and hiddenness, I aim to unravel the complexities of this unique spatial relationship and its implications for urban life, shedding light on the peculiar dynamics that arise from the convergence of these contrasting environments.

By embracing the 'weirdness' inherent in these hybrid environments, I aim to shed light on the paradoxes and dynamics that shape the new type of space, the residential stadium. Within this context, I provide four key concepts emerge: Exposed Privacy, Enclosed Privacy, Exclusive Access, and Excluded Access. Through the concepts, I aim to clarify the distinctive characteristics of each space and their implications for design and occupation.
