Studio Akane Moriyama

O House

Studio Akane Moriyama made a tall façade curtain as well as additional curtains for a private house in Kyoto, Japan by Hideyuki Nakayama Architecture. The large, yellow-grey curtain for the façade covers a window of W2 x H7,1m, this to ensure the privacy of the residents and also insulate the window further against cold air. The drapery opens like a stage curtain, when a rope on the backside is pulled. This movement changes the light and thus the character of the living space.
