Shophouses around Tha Nam Non and Talat Khwan
Shophouses have a split that houses do not: the ground floor is a glass frontage meant to show the goods inside, while the floors above are where people live and want privacy. So downstairs usually lands on a sheer or a sunscreen at around 45 percent light reduction, or on vertical vanes that let you decide when in the day the shop opens up. Upstairs, where the windows are narrow and tall, full curtains overwhelm the opening — a roller or a blind sitting inside the reveal tends to sit better.
