Chenchow Little Architects tackled this problem head on with a bit of design ingenuity– by creating a retractable wooden blind system that allows the inhabitants to see out, without the outside seeing in. The Freshwater House, located on the coast of Sydney, Australia, provides a near-seamless integration with its oceanfront environment, a placid contemporary retreat in one of the finest postal codes on the planet.
