Before this addition space was built, the original house had a conventional wall with double hung windows. Those double hung windows were always closed with curtains because the wall faced the backyard of next door neighbor.
Thus, the design of addition was determined to have no windows facing neighbor, but shaped in such ways that the space collects light all day.
At night, moon lights also hit the wall and cast patterns of glass blocks on the textured stucco wall.
