I can't see any curtains - even in the bedroom. How does that work in
buildings like this?

Build it on a hillside so only the top two floors are visible from the
street, with three more floors going down the hillside and facing into a
ravine ... apparently

Sure, but the price is a bit of a problem.

There are shutters. And not that many close neighbours.

Maybe they've got LCD windows. I've just found you can buy the film and retrofit it to existing windows, apparently.

Bet there's a reason they don't mention the price or how long it lasts.

I've seen double-glazed windows with micro venetian blinds built in to
them - quite invisible when open, completely private when closed.

and nonfunctional after a while. And a display of lots of broken blinds isn't that great.

Another f*****g architect designed, unlivable in glass box.
Surprised it didn't feature in Grand Designs. Seems perfect for that programme.
Looks like total ****, will be fit for demolition in ten years.

Noted it sold for less than the building cost.
Which shows how truely horrid it is.

Nope, just that there is a shortage of those who
want to pay that much for somewhere to live.

I've only seen one such setup, and more of the blinds were broken than not. It looked crap. I don'k know how well they had been treated but with that many failures IRL I'd not choose such a design.

We often don't bother with closing curtains on the back window of the
bedroom. Though we are in the middle of the village our back isn't
overlooked
