| curtain wall house the clients for the 1995 curtain wall house wanted a contemporary home that would carry out the openness of the traditional japanese house. the project, situated on an constricted intersection in itabashi-ku, tokyo, consists of an elegantly spare two-floor block of open living spaces sandwiched between a large, overhanging triangular roof and deck that extend almost to the curb line. around the perimeter of the triangle shigeru ban hung billowing white curtains that can be opened or closed to regulate the degree of transparency between interior and exterior.
