    • Rotterdam Apartment

    Most of residents in an apartment opened curtains and showed up their rooms in Rotterdam, Netherland.

    Cluster of characteristic interior lights made building function as a huge lantern, and it was decorating the nightscape.



    Whereas, in general, Japanese people close all curtains at night to keep own privacy but also may give kind of impression closed.



    * Do you think this open apartment lighting is a hero or a villain?

    MENDE'S JUDGE

    This is an unusual building as an apartment. Should it be called as a big window or a fixed window from floor to ceiling...

    I am not comfortable staying at this apartment but have stayed at this type of hotel for a few times.

    Open Japanese wooden houses. European stone houses closed by thick walls to protect themselves from foreign enemies..

    This scenery of Rotterdam may have been a longing for Europeans...
