Obviously the client is on board with this or it wouldn't have been realized. The translucent quality of the whole thing from the paint to the fabric, to the space itself is a clear uncompromised vision. I see hints of Corbusier and Holl here blended with a reinterpretation of the traditional Ryokan. I look forward to seeing the next project. whoa – chill with the negativity.

It is common to see Japanese family uses a space as living room during the day and as bedroom at night. Considering traditional Japanese houses have space divided by sliding doors made out of wooden frames and paper, white curtain in this case is actually not that bad, as for introducing natural light into such an enclosed space.

I don't think that images of architecture should have any furniture/people/etc in them unless they were designed together, i.e. the furniture designed for that exact space.
