中庭に対して開放的な環状の住宅で、日射対策やプライバシーの保護が必要になった。

建物のなかをぐるっと歩いてみると、中庭を介して生活がパラレルに見えてくるのがとても楽しい。

この体験大切にするカーテンにしたいと考えた。

浴室前や寝室、収納と日除けが必要な部分だけ透過性をなくし、他は透ける生地にした。

上の方だけ日除け、下の方は透けるという切り替えの部分も出てきた。

表に出てくる要素（サッシやスラブ、外壁の鋼板など）がシャープなこの建築で、カーテンの裾や吊元、端部もスッキリ仕上げる様工夫した。生活感もありながらどこか抽象的なものが出来たのではないかと思う。

A circular residence with a courtyard. Because the house is glazed, it is inevitably necessary to protect against sunlight and privacy, so we were asked to provide curtains.

When you enter the building and walk around, you enjoy the parallel view of life on the other side through the courtyard. We wanted to come up with something that would fulfill the required functions without diminishing this experience.

I made only the areas in front of the bathrooms, bedrooms, storage, and areas that needed sunshades with opaque fabrics, and the rest with transparent fabrics.

There was also a switch out of the sunshade only at the top and transparent at the bottom.

In this architecture, where all the elements (sashes, slabs, exterior steel plates, etc.) are sharp, I tried to keep the hems, hangers, and edges of the curtains as clean as possible. I think I was able to create something somewhat abstract while still having a sense of life.
