Two long windows in the house look out onto a blank wall in a narrow alleyway. Passers-by can easily see inside. These are problematic windows.
To restore the windows’ aesthetic appeal and reduce the view into the house, I am designing two shutters. Inspired by plants, the design is based on motifs provided by Astrid, Jan and their four children themselves.
