The shutters allow the southern facade's expansive windows to be shaded while still letting a small amount of light through their slats.

Outside-In House by Interface Studio Architects
American firm Interface Studio Architects built an all-white townhouse in a gentrifying part of Philadelphia, with a plywood staircase running up its middle.
Built between two other townhouses as part of a row, the narrow home's white exterior makes it stand out from the older buildings in the area, which are covered in either vinyl siding or red brickwork.
