SHINANOMACHI RESIDENCE (ZOOM SHINANOMACHI)

Zoom Shinanomachi sits at the boundary of two zoning districts in Shinjuku, stepping from a tower to a low-rise wing to mediate between urban scales. Balconies and services are unified behind dark panels. Bundled louvers then form an outer shell, controlling privacy, opposing views, and eastern solar gain while preserving openness. By day, the louvers reflect the sky in delicate shadow; by night, interior light seeps through the gaps, forming a quiet boundary between city and residence.
