Shade House reconciles privacy and natural light through a precision-designed facade screening system. The east facade is wrapped in a veil-like apparatus that functions as a privacy screen for a sunken courtyard and a basement 'Great Room' while controlling the entry of filtered daylight. Interlocking triangular shades form the screening system. The shades are choreographed to create calculated apertures that selectively admit sunlight into outdoor living spaces. The arrangement balances intense privacy needs with the desire for natural illumination, enabling controlled, dynamic daylighting without sacrificing seclusion for lower-level living areas.
